One has to be the ghost army wiping out all impact and meaning from the mortals’ battle and sacrifice in the Return of the King.
I’m in the camp that the quality and faithfulness in Peter Jackson’s movies were an insanely improbable miracle—lightning in a bottle that we should be thankful happened once and you could never hope to capture again. But I’m still flabbergasted at the decision to make the ghost army omnipotent. They were so thoughtful with everything else, especially the changes they made—you can see this clearly in the behind-the-scenes discussion. So what in the world happened here?
- eredengrin 3y agoI actually don't consider that a major gripe. It's certainly a very weird decision and I'd prefer the original version, but it doesn't ultimately affect all that much imo, it mostly just means the humans did a bit less orc killing in the movies than they had to do in the books. But yeah, I agree with you, I'm happy it turned out as it did for the most part, some of my favorite movies for sure.
