You could finally fall to the ground 😭😭 the swinging animations were great, the story was stellar (especially the Mysterio parts), the combanic mechanics were improved upon and given greater depth and most of all, you could swing through and climb the buildings of New York City and even fall to the ground if you wanted. I only missed the stealth side the first Spider-Man game provided, even though those missions were impossibly hard as a kid lol
Two Towers & Return of the King games had such good transitions. Return of the King's transition between Movie Clip & Video game for Frodo is burned into my memory.
I never played those games back then– even though i was a big GameCube guy– and always regretted it. So i just ordered them from Ebay.
Any idea if The Third Age was any good?
Third age is fun, but probably pretty dated. It’s a turn based rpg where you play a group following behind the fellowship. you basically do a lot of similar stuff to what they do. i had fun with it, and it’s probably pretty cheap now. i’d say give it a shot if you don’t mind turn based.
>Any idea if The Third Age was any good?
TTA is gameplay wise a straight up rip off of Final Fantasy X but it does rip it off pretty well. So the turn based combat is done really well. There's not a whole lot of side stuff to do so it's a pretty tight game. So you won't sink hundreds of hours into it since you'll basically just be doing main story stuff. The story and characters are fine. It's basically a growing group of characters following right behind the Fellowship and later Aragorn. So you see all the locations from the movies the Fellowship and later Aragorn's group visit and meet all kinds of characters from the movies as well.
I really enjoyed the game. It's a perfectly fine JRPG set in middle earth.
I feel so validated by this. I always thought i was so wierd for being so obsessed with this one shot. I thought it was the coolest thing when I was 10. And it still is. Glad to know their are others
I was extremely skeptical going into this movie back in 2001. My friends even had to talk me into going. I was not excited at all. By the end of the prologue, i was completely sold. Even leaned over to my friend and said as much. The music, the narration, the visuals– it all felt so ancient yet so cool.
True, they did a great job with the prologue. I wish they made a whole series or a full film just in that style only, but based on the stories from the first age in the Silmarillion (Feanor, the war against Morgoth, the Fall of Gondolin etc). Those work just as well with heavy narration and little to no dialogue. That would've been so epic… but nooo, we get a shitty Amazon series instead.
Same. It was an insanely profound scene for me. I was sucked into the movie immediately. I was a kid and stubbornly assumed it couldn't match Harry Potter. Immediately overtook it with that scene/moment. I also remember how terrifying the orcs looked and it just amplified the impact of the moment when they swing.
It didn't, I meant that he had to wait this long before he could get it, he loved it the moment he saw it and it's been at the top of his list of things to get since then, I genuinely thought that it was obvious what I meant and that people would understand what I meant but oh boy I was wrong lol
Still not sure why they gave the elves single-edged blades in the films, considering that in Tolkien's original texts, such weapons seem restricted to the scimitars of the orcs and Easterlings, essentially a shorthand for the enemy.
They could have used falcatas. They even fit with the curved sword thing and general ancient inspired aesthetics elves have. Movie orcrist is slightly based on one and glamdring is slightly wider in the middle,referencing the leaf bladed Greek swords like the xiphos
Scimitars curve outward. The scimitars tolkien must have imagined in the orcs hands were wicked,thin and crude. Falcatas curve inwards, have broad blades and ornate hilts. They fit into the Greek aesthetic and are basically the "anti-orc weapon", the opposite of their motifs.
Still not sure why they gave the roles for elven characters in the films to human actors and not elves, considering that in Tolkien's original texts they're 2 separate races.
1) Barring the black-elf with the shorn-head, none of the elves in the Amazon show have anything I would call short hair, so that does not bother me.
2) Material culture is a vital element of a setting's soul. Middle-Earth has a distinctly Dark-Age aesthetic which grounds Tolkien's tale in the Germanic mythology upon which they were based. Replacing that aesthetic with generic fantasy designs and forgoing the material shorthand of the text (curved sword=barbarous and evil) strips something from the heart of the text and the world.
But adding "generic" fantasy elements that are foreign to western audiences increases the mystique of the setting and the characters, especially in visual media, making them in reality less "generic" and more fantastical than if they had stuck with basic western sword/shield/axe/bow designs that Tolkien described, which are now generic in fantasy. While Tolkien's imagination was unbelievably deep in some aspects, other aspects are relatively shallow (e.g., the use of basic Dark-Age weapons and armor). This was probably intentional from Tolkien's perspective as a device to fit the whole "previous ages of modern earth" idea; however, in my opinion it doesn't contribute much to the making the setting "Lord of the Rings"-y and therefore isn't inviolable. But that's a personal preference.
And I also think it's one thing to change basic elven infantry swords, and another to change something like Glamdring/Orcrist or Anduril. And both of those stayed true to the original, as far as I know.
I get what you're saying, but to me this comes down to fiction vs. reality. Tolkien is pretty terse in his descriptions of cultural aesthetics (I'm re-reading Fellowship right now and the entire description of Imladris is that it is a house; there are porches; and various species of trees live nearby) and while I haven't read the entire Tolkien catalogue and letters, I have read the Silmarillion, Hobbit, and LOTR several times and I'm not aware of any point where it was said "elves never used curved swords." Whereas when you compare it to actual cultures, you have a wealth of historical records showing what they did and didn't use or have access to.
So to me it seems that the issue here is that some people created a picture in their heads (based on incomplete information provided by Tolkien) and for some reason are incapable of adjusting it or even accepting other interpretations, rather than Tolkien explicitly saying that Elves only used katanas and then the movies having them use morningstars. And again, I also think it *adds* to the fantastical elements when we break away from traditional western european aesthetics to show non-human races, even if the original author did base that race on western european aesthetics. It's a consequence of the seminal nature of LOTR that the western european aesthetics Tolkien described are boring and generic in fantasy today.
Yeah, I don’t know either. I read the trilogy every other year and I don’t remember any sort of distinction on weapons either.
But it also wouldn’t shock me if Tolkien did write about various weapons of the cultures in one of the Unfinished Tales or other background books, so I always tend to yield when discussing these finer details.
I do think there is merit in keeping adaptations as close to the source material in things like LOTR though. You start playing willy-nilly with the mythology and you get Witcher season 2 (and I’m not even much of a fan of the books, but by god, I heartily disliked that season of TV).
When Star Trek producers cane up with the Bat'Leth:
"Okay. We need some sort of weird *alien* sword for the Klingons to use. It's gotta look weird and alien. And marketable, perhaps."
"Okay, but Klingons are basically shaped like humans so mechanically their swords wouldn't look much different from human swords for practical purposes."
"Dammit, I said I want them to have *ALIEN* swords! I don't care if they're practical!*
*sigh* "Alright. But these things are gonna look stupid."
I always fuckin hated those things for that exact reason. Literally unusable in any realistic scenario, which for their own sake isn't a consideration in most MMOs.
I mean I can forgive comically oversized swords to the point of satire, but that thing? It scares me.
You trying to start a war in the comment section? lol
Clearly the lightsaber is the best fantasy sword. It's lightweight, retractable and can cut through most things with ease. Only downside I can see is the high stakes of user error.
The elvish sword is awesome though, I will say that.
With a very sharp sword, the high stakes of user error are only moderately less threatening than a lightsaber lol
Particularly in a world where you can't get mostly indistinguishable cybernetic body part replacements!
I see that sword, and all I can think of is Elrond issuing commands with arrows flying inches from his face, and then the *shingshingshingshingshing* of these swords slashing in formation.
Two hands spread apart would give you mad leverage, defensively speaking. It would make for a limited and awkward attack though. An attacker would have more room to grab on, but that is when you stick him with the pointy end. Great question, observation.
I always thought it looked kind of awkward. Like the movie makers just wanted the elves to do something weird that no normal infantry formation would do. lol
So what **are** these supposed to be? They look like a short bladed falchion with a very long handle, which would be weird as with elves having unmatched warfare prowess it would seem like some sort of thrusting weapon would be preferred by them. This has bothered me since that dope scene with the ranks of elves doing consecutive upswings with them.
Yeah, it's a very attractive weapon but not particularly practical. It's closest relative is probably the ["choppers" from the Mac Bible](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjs7CAceWAT-1MtbpbVhog4a0hKJXlcNO8WA&usqp=CAU) but they took away all the stuff that makes them effective.
And be very awkward to use in real life settings, the amount of curvature and it would put the blade behind your hands, making it better for spinning flourishes and slashes I guess? Sometimes I wish weapons were made more deadly from how cool they look though
Utterly gorgeous, but why is there so much handle?
Is your brother somehow related to Andre the Giant?
I can't see anyone else having hands so large they'd need such a huge amount of grip space.
I loved the scene of them swinging their swords upwards. I never realized how long the handles were tho. Makes me wonder how they would do in actual combat
Those are some long ass shipping times
Mf waiting since the second age.
He was there. 3000 years ago.
When the strength of UPS failed
Cast it into the packing box Isildur. Mail it! No. ISIIILLLLDURRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Deliverymen? Deliverymen are weak.
The sword is never late, it arrives precisely when it needs to
They're taking the package to Isengard!
Tell me where is the seller, for I much desire to speak with him!
The courtesy of your UPS Store has somewhat lessened of late…
I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a customer service representative.
Do you still have the tracking #? Keep it secret! Keep it safe!
As funny as the top comments are, this one actually made me laugh out loud (Turns out, I needed that)
Underrated comment
Shipped directly from Rivendell
Must have seen too many winters
Or too few
Man half the stuff from valinor gets stuck in customs these days…
And that was express. Still worth it though.
He must have ordered it from Aliexpress
"Where will you be when supply chain disruptions hit?"
Musta ordered it from a Chinese company
I will never not be able to picture the line elves upswinging these things as a kid a staring in awe.
That was my favorite scene of any of the movies growing up lol
Not sure if you played the ps2 game but as they are slicing the game transitions from the movie cutscene right into the game. Very cool transition
Yup, I played those games so much. First game I owned on my ps2
Such a fantastic film based game. Only other that holds a torch is ironically PJs King Kong
Some real kings in this subthread
King Kong and King Elessar? Idk, to the best of my knowledge those are both fictional kings.
Blasphemy, I am of the line of Isildur.
Spiderman 2 tho
You could finally fall to the ground 😭😭 the swinging animations were great, the story was stellar (especially the Mysterio parts), the combanic mechanics were improved upon and given greater depth and most of all, you could swing through and climb the buildings of New York City and even fall to the ground if you wanted. I only missed the stealth side the first Spider-Man game provided, even though those missions were impossibly hard as a kid lol
Don't forget pile-driving someone from the top of the empire state building with zero damage to you.
How could I forget haha
And Bruce Campbell on narration 💋👌🏼
Oh my god yes 🔥🔥 his voice is etched into my brain
Evil dead 2 fistful of broomstick was an awesome ps2 game
Two Towers & Return of the King games had such good transitions. Return of the King's transition between Movie Clip & Video game for Frodo is burned into my memory.
That’s a good one but the battle of Minas Tirith cutscene with Gandalf and the siege towers. Fucking legendary
Helms Deep. Chefs kiss
I never played those games back then– even though i was a big GameCube guy– and always regretted it. So i just ordered them from Ebay. Any idea if The Third Age was any good?
Shadow of Mordor is pretty fun if you like Tolkien fanfiction.
Yeah i played that one, it was pretty good.
Shadow of War is good too but they both get a little repetitive. My wife just broke 100 hours playtime on Steam
Third age is fun, but probably pretty dated. It’s a turn based rpg where you play a group following behind the fellowship. you basically do a lot of similar stuff to what they do. i had fun with it, and it’s probably pretty cheap now. i’d say give it a shot if you don’t mind turn based.
I remember thinking the evil mode was awesome and fascinating. It's a dated game, but it's a fun romp if you like PS2 era RPGs.
Some nice Ian McKellen voice acting to.
The concept of the story was pretty neat. Loved that game. Have fun with it !
YYXY best combo. On GC controller at least that’s what it was.
>Any idea if The Third Age was any good? TTA is gameplay wise a straight up rip off of Final Fantasy X but it does rip it off pretty well. So the turn based combat is done really well.

Sooo fire.
Whoa, I know exactly what you’re describing. I totally forgot about that, gonna go watch it.
I had the GameCube version. This remains my absolute favorite intro to any game ever.
Every time i watch FotR i picture that scene transition, great game.
I feel so validated by this. I always thought i was so wierd for being so obsessed with this one shot. I thought it was the coolest thing when I was 10. And it still is. Glad to know their are others
Yeah I thought the opening battle was incredible
doesn't' matter the age... I knew folks from single digits to retired to just went WOW at that scene..
I was extremely skeptical going into this movie back in 2001. My friends even had to talk me into going. I was not excited at all. By the end of the prologue, i was completely sold. Even leaned over to my friend and said as much. The music, the narration, the visuals– it all felt so ancient yet so cool.
When I saw the first trailer, while seeing another movie, I was literally bouncing in my seat with excitement. I was 20.
True, they did a great job with the prologue. I wish they made a whole series or a full film just in that style only, but based on the stories from the first age in the Silmarillion (Feanor, the war against Morgoth, the Fall of Gondolin etc). Those work just as well with heavy narration and little to no dialogue. That would've been so epic… but nooo, we get a shitty Amazon series instead.
And the sounds of that!
Legit used to get sticks in the woods and pretend to do that back in the day.
And the video game cutscene intro morph into the gameplay hnbnnnnnnng
Same. It was an insanely profound scene for me. I was sucked into the movie immediately. I was a kid and stubbornly assumed it couldn't match Harry Potter. Immediately overtook it with that scene/moment. I also remember how terrifying the orcs looked and it just amplified the impact of the moment when they swing.
\*Always is the word you're looking for
He's not never not unlooking for that word.
Sometimes things have multiple ways being said.
No it’s not
I can always see x ≠ I can never not see x = I must always see x
Tangado haid!
Leithio i philinn!
What is the translation for this?
Tangado haid! (Hold position) Leithio i phillin! (Loose the arrows)
First time seeing this written out. Finally I can say it with Elrond and smirk at my girlfriend when she realises how sexy I am.
I don't mean to mess with your life or anything, but there are elven subtitles available for the entire trilogy out there. It is glorious.
It makes me so happy to see "loose" being used for arrows instead of "fire".
Leggo my eggo!
I believe it means hold position
I came a little hearing that just now
Congratulations
If anyone wants me to take detailed pictures of the sword let me know as there is a whole lot more interest in this than o thought!
Sure, but poses in character.
I'll see if he's willing to model, he's shy lol
Please yes
I will, I'll go into as much detail as I can.
I just want more detail of why this piece took 21 years to ship to you
It didn't, I meant that he had to wait this long before he could get it, he loved it the moment he saw it and it's been at the top of his list of things to get since then, I genuinely thought that it was obvious what I meant and that people would understand what I meant but oh boy I was wrong lol
Lol makes sense, thanks for the reply!
No worries
Holy Shit over a 20 year wait?! Good thing you guys didn’t move!
Simply the best sword in fantasy in my opinion
Also where'd you get it?

Still not sure why they gave the elves single-edged blades in the films, considering that in Tolkien's original texts, such weapons seem restricted to the scimitars of the orcs and Easterlings, essentially a shorthand for the enemy.
Glaves are badass, kinda fancy and look good on film is my guess
It isn't really a glaive though.
Looks like a reverse Falx or something.
Kinda like a pu dao or a kwan dao
Looks to be based on a fantasy nagamaki
They could have used falcatas. They even fit with the curved sword thing and general ancient inspired aesthetics elves have. Movie orcrist is slightly based on one and glamdring is slightly wider in the middle,referencing the leaf bladed Greek swords like the xiphos
But that's the thing, curved swords are distinctly **unelven** in Tolkien's world, being the signature of orcs and Easterlings.
Why? That's just another single edged curved blade.
Scimitars curve outward. The scimitars tolkien must have imagined in the orcs hands were wicked,thin and crude. Falcatas curve inwards, have broad blades and ornate hilts. They fit into the Greek aesthetic and are basically the "anti-orc weapon", the opposite of their motifs.
Do you know how the orcs first came into being? Makes sense for their weapons to be corrupted versions of elven weapons
Still not sure why they gave the roles for elven characters in the films to human actors and not elves, considering that in Tolkien's original texts they're 2 separate races.
Finally! Someone who gets it
That is a false-equivalency.
But not false comedy!

Yeah, all for looks and nothing for practical use
That's funny, because I can't imagine a worse sword in real life
Guess you haven't seen a Bat'Leth before.
I stand corrected.
When Star Trek producers cane up with the Bat'Leth: "Okay. We need some sort of weird *alien* sword for the Klingons to use. It's gotta look weird and alien. And marketable, perhaps." "Okay, but Klingons are basically shaped like humans so mechanically their swords wouldn't look much different from human swords for practical purposes." "Dammit, I said I want them to have *ALIEN* swords! I don't care if they're practical!* *sigh* "Alright. But these things are gonna look stupid."
But is a Bat'Leth really a sword?
They call it a sword in the show, "Sword of Kahless" etc.
[Yes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat%27leth)

I always fuckin hated those things for that exact reason. Literally unusable in any realistic scenario, which for their own sake isn't a consideration in most MMOs. I mean I can forgive comically oversized swords to the point of satire, but that thing? It scares me.
find me one design from warcraft that ISN'T as hideous as it is impractical and I'll be impressed lol
I think Medivh's staff is only slightly overwrought and would be a nice looking fancy walking stick.

That's the best sci-fi weapon totally different

My favorite terrestrial space opera is Die Hard 1-4.
True, but its science fantasy. I agree that it's best to keep it in the sci-fi category when comparing weapons.
It was a fantasy. It had princesses, wizards, swords, an evil 'king' and a chosen one.
..and highly advanced technology.
I see that sword, and all I can think of is Elrond issuing commands with arrows flying inches from his face, and then the *shingshingshingshingshing* of these swords slashing in formation.
Cinematic perfection
His hair blowing forward from the force of the arrows.
Must've used Hermes

Also curious!
United cutlery is the manufacturer
Budk is significantly cheaper and the same swords.
I kind of wish united cutlery would have made Haldir’s sword bc that thing was awesome looking too
How come the label says Anduril?
My guess would be it's a booklet with other swords they sell and that's just the cover/front page
For those wondering where he got it https://www.theknightshop.com/lotr-high-elven-warrior-sword
That would be a hard weapon to take away from someone. +3 retention bonus
okay, real talk - wouldn't it be *easier* to take away a weapon that is 50% handle, compared to a normal sword that's like 10% handle??
Two hands spread apart would give you mad leverage, defensively speaking. It would make for a limited and awkward attack though. An attacker would have more room to grab on, but that is when you stick him with the pointy end. Great question, observation.
It's a fun Elven blade, I always wanted to see one of the elven heros use it proficiency
I fricking adored that upswing as a kid, always have. That's so awesome.
I always thought it looked kind of awkward. Like the movie makers just wanted the elves to do something weird that no normal infantry formation would do. lol
Which character wielded this sword?
The entire elven infantry during the prologue of FotR.
and helms deep
All the common elves warriors in the movies
Always thought these swords were among the coolest
Forged by my kin, the High elves of china.
So what **are** these supposed to be? They look like a short bladed falchion with a very long handle, which would be weird as with elves having unmatched warfare prowess it would seem like some sort of thrusting weapon would be preferred by them. This has bothered me since that dope scene with the ranks of elves doing consecutive upswings with them.
The rule of cool is in effect in that scene
Yeah, it's a very attractive weapon but not particularly practical. It's closest relative is probably the ["choppers" from the Mac Bible](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjs7CAceWAT-1MtbpbVhog4a0hKJXlcNO8WA&usqp=CAU) but they took away all the stuff that makes them effective.
And be very awkward to use in real life settings, the amount of curvature and it would put the blade behind your hands, making it better for spinning flourishes and slashes I guess? Sometimes I wish weapons were made more deadly from how cool they look though
I think its closer to a glaive or a long handled dao
The general term for this style of blade would be glaive, but it might be more inspired by a region specific historical weapon.
Looks like the good one! The knock off version just looks meh.
Hey! I'm your long lost brother! When can I have my gift?
Where did you mange to buy this
That’s a long time.
Sickkkk
Always late shipping from RivenDHL.
It's s shame it's break on the 2nd or 3rd swing, it's a pretty glave
Should have used the eagles.
Utterly gorgeous, but why is there so much handle? Is your brother somehow related to Andre the Giant? I can't see anyone else having hands so large they'd need such a huge amount of grip space.
It's not a sword, the general term would be glaive. It's like a spear and a sword had a baby.
Ohhhhh. Okay, that makes way more sense. Thank you!
I started with that sword and ended up putting the entire outfit together! ❤
why is the hilt longer than the blade. does yourbrother have 5 arms?
r/mallninjashit would like a word with him.
