Nah fuck this army I'm gonna go recruit some immortal ghost soldiers instead. Do whatever you want with these I'm out.
That... That right there made me hate the entire trilogy.. So we're slowly overwhelmed, we're slowly losing and being killed and the situation is so dire and... Oh there is the immortal deux ex machina guys just trampling over the enemy killing them all in a minute aaaaand we're done!
It was so anti climactic
Probably the biggest blunder in the movie trilogy. In the books, the ghosts are just used strategically to prevent enemy reenforcements from coming in from a port. No deus ex machina win until the ring is destroyed.
This is also one of several acts Aragorn performs that symbolize his authority and rightful place as king.
Give each guy two spears. Now you have twice the spears and you didn't even have to find more guys.
Contact me for more tips on defeating dark lords.
Maybe they have plenty of guys but not enough spears? 6000 spearheads is a lot of work for 3 days. Ask any blacksmith!
TBH it's really easy to find spearmen if you have the spears. They require vastly less training than a swordsman or shieldbearer.
"Keep the pointy end towards the enemy at all times."
"Sir, I'm a seasoned wheat farmer, I know how point sticks work thank you very much."
Good idea, but that still would be less than Aragorn hoped for
The Dark Lord summoned 1000 hot naked succubus and my men's about to succumb to the lure, how do i proceed?
Gays to the vanguard?
This is a good sword.
It's a piece of shit, Aragorn, and you know it. Stop gaslighting people.
Think of it more like a placebo pill for bravery.
Why though? I don't think that Rohans problem was lack of proper swords. Giving it to a boy maybe 12-14 years old, because there is not enough men of fighting age was the problem at the time. But i don't think the Orcs would have made concessions bc. of that.
I mean...the only way you could get more spears in less time is if you made some kind of pact with an army of undead!
Théoden: "What do you expect of me? Run down to some cave and conjure up an undead army?"
Aragorn: brb
So he was hoping for at least 12002 spears.
12001 haha
Or even 12000 + a broken one
Aragorn you ungrateful bitch
Weren't both of the first 2 lines from Theoden?

Begins at 49 seconds - can't get the timestamp linking to work.
Or even better - start at 0:00 on the extended edition of Fellowship and work your way there.

The Rohirrim were spread out dealing with raiding parties until after Helm's Deep. Contextually we're to understand that about half their available manpower is either dealing with other problems or just didn't answer the muster.
Hey, you know another thing like this post comes to a new light, knowing that aragorn is OLDER than the king
The village blacksmith worked as hard as he could ok!!
And on top of all that y'all got him sharpening Hobbit swords like they're gonna do anything.

Is that Bill Bailey?! https://www.arenaentertainments.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bill-bailey-425x312.jpg
Bernard Hill does look a lot alike in certain angles; never seen it before myself but you pointing it out and now I can't not see it.
Human slaves! In an orcish nation! Ah ah ah ha ha!
He's a badass. When your battlecry is "DEATH!" You know some shits about to happen .
