Lord of the Rings: The Ithillien Ranger Attack

[BlaringSnake40]

Those soldiers look like a Middle-Earth version of Blackwater.

[DrSportzz]

haradrim army humans and easterlings

[willkillyoulast]

Frodo and Sam like delaying a little while so they can be sure the bad guys catch up. Those hobbits, I'm telling you.

[henri231000]

These guys are like Black Ops!!!

[knreolmley]

Bastards from Gondor... Rhun and Harad are the bests.

[ScoTTishN1NJA]

this is probably why there are no haradrim foot soldiers at the gondor battle.they all got shot by the rangers.but theres like 10 mumkail with archers.

[jackafa92]

in which movies is this scene?

[ebaay1]

@jackafa92 2nd

[schizoidboy]

I heard that during the American Revolution that the riflemen used to use turkey calls to signal other riflemen before an attack. All those bird calls were the rangers signaling to each other.

[Stickman698]

@schizoidboy You got that right. The rangers learned to mimic different bird calls to serve as "encrypted messages".

It's amazing how skilled the rangers are-just a couple dozens of them killed hundreds of haradrim and their mumakils-they killed two walking towers!

[zvonimir89]

The Ithilien Rangers are so badass, I love how there is just a shadow of black underneath those hoods covering their faces...impersonalized death itself!

[H0s0n]

@All the people saying there are Easterlings and Haradrim in this scene, there are only Haradrim here, not Easterlings.

[ScoTTishN1NJA]

@H0s0n there are easterling weapons in the crowd

[babysealsareyummy]

2:15 Surprise! Blowjob!

[Katuiros]

Ithilien = Italien = Italy

Haradrims = Africans

Faramir = Bandito Giuliano

The invasion has already began!

[Luxai]

While other say "enemy enemy" all the time, Faramir realises every life lost is wrong, but that it is a sad thing they are forced to do by the times. Respect.

[HJKLMGPU]

now, that's what I call an ambush

[Joey6131995]

in the film the haradrim look pale. Are they meant to be tan like the middle eastern peoples or pale like the persians (as herodotus describes them)?

[tuskin4]

@Joey6131995 The costume makers for the movie(weta) says they are suposed to be a cros between Aztecs and Pacific islanders. Its intresting if a guy has a turban hes automaticly a Arab or Persian.

[CursedArpegius]

Ok, so Golem lives under a rock for like 200 years and is somehow able to explicitly school two hobbits on the lore of the land.. and their who the Council picked to take the Ring to Mordor! A better stratagy would have been to flush the ring down the toilate and hope that your system is the only one in middle earth that lead to the fires of mount doom.

[joaochoa]

@CursedArpegius I think a better "stratagy" would be to find someone who can teach you to write properly!

[CursedArpegius]

@joaochoa Its a nice Stratagy, i like it alot, but your missing a few fundamentals that i'd like to quickly run through with you..

Ok so you missed out any sort of relevance what so ever, im gunna have to mark you down for that =/ im sorry, but its for your own good.

And if your wondering weather your smart ass remark actualy made any sence? im afraid no it didn't, thats anouther mark down there.. not looking so great really.

but you worked Hard on it, so your day wasn't a complete fail =)

[joaochoa]

@CursedArpegius Well.. of course it didn't make any sense! The point of the comment was just to make fun of your spelling. But your strategy was actually somewhat interesting.

So I'll give you points for that!

[aires8441]

Faramir is hot! 

[Benad361]

Look at the organisation, skill and uniformity of the easterlings

when compared with this rabble. This lot can handle an attack for fuck all. They wouldn't know organisation if it hit them in the face. If they had proper skills, organisation and armour they would have pwned the rangers. Their fighting ability is also debatable. Attack a column of easterlings like that and you would be trounced.

[MultiKillerBot]

@Benad361 Um not if Gondor was doing it , Gondor's military was equal to that of Rhuns , and the pwning the rangers HELLO , the rangers are in the trees and camaflouged , and the men of harad and rhun are from east so they are tech. the same .

[BlowShitUp12]

@Benad361 Well they werent paying attention , if you were looking closely they had their heads down so they couldnt react in time.Also the rangers are best at camaflouges . The Easterlings would have had to abandon their marching order when going into the woods so its still debatable if they would loose any men . And the haradrim(southrons) are awesome actually and strong as well.

[electricbayonet2]

The Ranger's got a bit of a conflict of ideology:

"No one comes through here but servants of the Dark One...who are individual people who may or may not have been misled, and are not necessarily evil people."

...say what now?

[samuraigrrrl]

frodos like lets get out of here than sam says look a elaphant

[oontgrad]

@samuraigrrrl yes that happened.

[Koley716]

Rangers lead the way! All the way!

[NoobSnoopy]

way to go rangers

[edinscot56789]

I love that Gollum's the one to point out how stupid and reckless they're being in standing there watching this intense battle like a couple of dumbasses

[Booyah129786]

2:05 And that is why you wear safety belts.

[BigBrotherMateyka]

@Booyah129786

And body armor...

[SadLittleTurkey]

The mumakil are much smaller in this scene than the ones at pellenor

[codafett]

Thier teenagers?

[F35B2009]

at 1:22 the signal that the rangers make, does anyone know what bird call that is?

[nivramx]

Love it! Ithilien rangers are like their Dunedain cousins, KICK-ASS! They are like the Special Ops of Middle Earth.

[IvanKala]

You mean Gondor special ops ;)

[edinscot56789]

That's a pretty good comparison
