Ori using a slingshot? Can't Post

I recently noticed while going through the trailer frame by frame, that one of the dwarves is using a slingshot. I'm fairly sure it's Ori, and it makes sense as he seems to be the 'nerdy' one, and probably not much of a warrior, thus a ranged weapon.

Way Awesome! [In reply to] Can't Post

Since PJ wants the 13 to be as different
as possible to help the audience know
who is who...This makes perfect sense...
Thank for the Pic of the DAY!

You destroyed the theory of him trying to take a photo of them with his phone camera! [In reply to] Can't Post

Really, a nice find! Though I wonder how much damage a slingshot can do against a Troll? How effective they can be?

Question and Observations [In reply to] Can't Post

Very good catch! Out of curiosity, what time does this occur in the trailer? I can't seem to find it to save my life!

In the first picture, I feel like the facial structure and hair look more like Nori (that might just be because of the in-action screencap, though). However, I'd personally rather Ori be the one to use a slingshot. As others have said, it's somehow very "fitting" for him.... dare I say that it's almost endearing?

Again, I can't stress enough how pleased I am with the way the Dwarves are turning out, in terms of individuality. They are each truly unique, and I definitely feel that we will have 13 very unique, very memorable, very beloved Dwarves. :)

And it's Ori, because I now noticed that Nori is running past him Tongue

*facepalm* [In reply to] Can't Post

Well, yeah...

Though I've understood the slingshot David used was handled differently... my English fails me to explain in enough detail, but I though David swinged the stone he threw in air to give it more force.

Heh. [In reply to] Can't Post

I laughed when I saw the comments about Ori taking a photo with his cellphone. Tongue

And yeah, it's certainly not Nori; He is seen running straight into the battle with his mace at the ready, just to the left of the slingshotter (which I assume to be Ori). The ones I've been able to make out is Gloin, Bofur, Nori, Ori, and Bifur.

Here's a shot I got: [In reply to] Can't Post

From left to right: Glóin, a dark-haired dwarf I assume to be Thorin, Nori, Bofur, Bifur. The slingshotter is just out of frame, to the right.

Slingshot!! [In reply to] Can't Post

That is so cool haha. That's gonna make quite a group of dwarves lol. How much damage it'd make though - depends on what he shoots maybe? Maybe it's magical Laugh
