Book Witch-King also looked far more terrifying. While never properly depicted in media... Shudders
he wore no helmet mask thing, instead all anyone could see of his face was two burning eyes aflame and his crown. Badass in theory but never translated well.
Of all Bakshi's failings in the old movie, he did have Frodo outride the Ringwraiths himself. Even managing to resist the Witch King for a moment.
That's something I wish we saw more of in the newer films, the Witch King actually using some magics.
What got me interested in the Silmarillion in the first place was actually a metal band called Blind Guardian making an album about it.
Nightfall in Middle Earth.
The most drastic use of it would be that in the books the soldiers of Gondor wore mail but the movies had a sort of Milanese plate look going on. Of course it was badass but theres a simple beauty in mail. It can combine with heraldry so much better then plate.
In a sort of TES theme I actually like that the far off ancient la could wear more advanced armor.
Plus I do love depictions of Morgoth in plate, there was one illustration of him fighting an elf lord (forgot the super important name) and Ithink he's wearing plate there too.
Technicaaaaaaly nobody wore plate Tolkien's books. The best armor was mail.
But jokes aside theres been some fantastic art for the dwarves that adhere both to his writing and making them wear very protective and heavy arms.
You're the one that went along with dropping that character the shit yours didn't need. You still died to that invader whom I killed
The only excuse I'd except was you not switching to something other then the Greatsword, but that's your own fault.
