In the LotR universe, do lawn mowers exist?
In the LotR universe, do lawn mowers exist?
Unironically, yes
They would do it with scythes.
Yes; biological ones. All those horses gotta eat, playa! fr fr no cap.
It’s like niggas never read Anna Karenina
Why is Minas Tirith surrounded by an absolute wasteland? Never understood that
it's not, those are fields for agriculture, cityfag
i agree, why not build parking lots there?
Could be flocks of livestock eating the grass and keeping it short.
I like how you can see how the lawn is already trampled to shit from all the rehearsing they did before the final scene.
Anon, maybe 3 of those horses are real
It's not, Jackson is a hack.
The Jackson LOTR is way better than the books, cry
You have not read them.
No sword and sorcery fat, I certainly did not. I read enough to see it was not worth my time, you kept reading because you are a sword and sorcery fat and inveterate philistine. Don’t even talk to me about “reading@
stunning artwork
No sword and sorcery fat, I certainly did not.
So why are you talking to me dumbass? You got filtered.
budget
also MASSIVE probably couldnt do any sort of collision physics back then so putting farmsteads, wall and uneven grounds there was not feasible
Jackson is still a hack when it comes to Gondor, everything related to it in the movies starting with Aragorn being a bitch is lame af
F-filtered!!
It's not. But the movie is also really bad at conveying the geography of Gondor. Someone watching the movie could be forgiven for assuming that Gondor = Minas Tirith because Jackson cut out the part where Minas Tirith receives reinforcements (twice!) from the kingdom proper which is to the west of the capital and quite big.
who's that? what's her IG?
I don't blame them, I like to read but that shit reads like a soap opera.
Nahhhhh cap I’m talkin bout a whole ass novel foo
I like to read!!
Calls the greatest novel of all time a “shit soap opera”
You’re the sword and sorcery fat formerly seen above
Anon there was a shitload of real horses for LOTR
Had a family member that went over there and worked with them and helped training the actors with riding.
Lotr is only popular because of dirty hippies reading it back in the 60s
The OP pic is from Rings of Power
There is clearly no agriculture happening retard.
the greatest novel of all time is about some woman being a whore but le Russian therefore le deep
Fuck off, pseud.
What do they eat
The irony in this post is crazy. You’ll never have an epiphany though

Stopped reading
grass
horse cum
Just out of interest, why deviate from this? You can still have Osgiliath and the barren wasteland off to the side, sure, but this is infinitely more fitting as the capital of the most powerful kingdom vs. the glorified town in the movie adaptations.
not really, a lot of what he did is better than in the books.
viggo sold a compelling character. book aragorn is kinda boring.
Bilbo almost certainly has one of these.
where? where are the villages, hamlets and farms?
yeah i never understood that. they could have easily done this as they already had amazing production value and sets that were for the most part fantastically directed. they could have just used bigatures and added some farms and buildings littered around (maybe a sprinkle of CGI) and the orcs could have levelled these villages and move through them to assault Minas Tirith proper. would have been great and still looked great.
how is aragorn a bitch in the movies?
He has a pocketwatch and clocks which are much more complex. Seems completely reasonable he'd have a mower like this.
why didn't they leave farmlands and hamlets to the poor orc refugees they knew were coming??
because denethor was a chud
The movie is based on a book, fyi
OP is a frogposter
uh, yeah?
Because Peter Jackson is the worst thing to happen to cinema
Those were initially invented to trim carpets -- Bilbo didn't have carpet
It doesn't even look like burned farmland though. There is no wreckage of fences, homesteads or barns. There is no scorched Earth. It's just barren scrubland. Also, Osgiliath being just a short ride away is another movie nonsense. Osgiliath is meant to be like ten miles away from Minis Tirith.
It's fine. I see the LOTR movies as being more abstract representations of what are obviously meant to be larger scale conflicts. Is the capital of Rohan really some small wooden palisade with room for about two hundred people, surrounded by barren moors? Probably not. I think of it like Skyrim where Whiterun is supposed to be some huge city and the jewel of the province, but in-game is represented by a palisaded town that in the real world would be nothing more than a village (and Skyrim itself in-game is actually the size of a large farm/ranch)
He looks like the grim reaper in gardening skin/clothes
Damn, Hobbits are advanced as fuck. Why are humans like five civilisational steps behind them?
based levin bro
they're sungazing
They spend most of their time fighting stuff.
Pferdezucht.
Lembas, d'oh!
and sickles and foraging knives (the cool kids call them karambits nowadays)

it's main focus is about an affair
cause ted didn't want to sell his copyright of the art
very little is described in the books, so rest of it is left up to the artist
he made sam do it with his teeth
ROTK was a rushed production and Jackson was exhausted after making FOTR and TTT back-to-back. Generating a huge CGI army that would need to move around clusters of trees and rocks would have been much harder than just having them march across a flat, barren, PS2-like plane.
I do think it adds to the kind of decline feeling the city has going. If it was too lush it would seem too happy
2000s computers didnt have that much power
Never heard of sheep or animals? People literally rent herds of them out to big corps
