>the trees are strong my lord, their roots go deep
Honestly kind of wholesome that a lowly orc feels comfortable enough sharing his struggles with his wizard lord. Was Sauronman really such a bad guy?
>>
>>216934027
He definitely seemed like a great boss to work for
>>
Was Tolkien an idiot? Tree roots don't go downwards, they spread pretty close to the surface.
>>
>>216934581
Depends on the species
Maybe Fangorn got fuck all rainwater so it had trees that mostly relied on groundwater
>>
Rip them a new one.
>>
Saruman was actually a good boss, he listened to his orc foreman/middle manager work issues and offered solutions on the spot.
>>
>>216934581
theres more than one tree tyoe dumbass
look at aspen
>>
>>216934581
you've obviously never dug up a stump
>>
>>216936797
I have. Are you implying the roots go "deep"?
>>
Saruman wasn't such a great boss to Grima
>>
>>216936857
Yeah.
>>
>>216936857
taproots are indeed deep
>>
>>216936942
Grima was a bum kisser and a whiny bitch and Sauronman knew it. He was assistant to the regional manager but never given the opportunity for promotion because of this.
>>
>>216936942
Unlike the orcs Grima didn't took work safety precautions seriously, neither used PPE.
>>
>>216934027
In the books the orcs liked Saruman enough to call him by a nickname (sharku = old man in orcish) so I assume he was a good boss
>>
>>216937025
seriously
Saruman knew if the OSHA orc saw Grima hold a candle directly over a cauldron of explosive powder he'd have a heart attack
>>
>>216936857
Yeah, deep for a big ass root. It's a reletive term for measurement, autismo.
>>
>>216934581
>>216934696
That's illegal and not allowed in this magical fantasy story where trees talk and walk.

It all depends on the kind of soil and rainfall.

Say what you will about Sauronman, but he was the only one who was able to successfully breed a sense of comradery among the Uruk Hai.

Why did Saruman never summon Radaghast to Orthanc to imprison him too? He's supposed to be on par with Gandalf, so could fight a Balrog. Was that guy truly just that incompetent, insane, and worthless that Saruman didn't even want to sway him to the dark side? If those three wizards had stayed on mission for the good guys, they could have stomped Mordor just by themselves.
>>
>>216939500
>a new power is rising
>it's just orcs again
Why is Sauronman such a compulsive liar?
>>
>>216934027
The philosemitic, kike lover Tolkien was upset with how much the Germans loved Hitler so he mocked it in his children's indoctrination trilogy.

Also, did he really think he was in an equal partnership with Sauron? His tower is like 1/50th the size of Barad-Dur. He was just a fly on Sauron's ass. Everyone in Mordor was laughing at him. They already created Uruks 500 years ago and discovered they had almost no real use. Too resource intensive and impractical without any advantage in numbers or fighting skill. They were absolutely laughing at Saruman and his foolishness.

>that big dick envy and overcompensation
>>
>>216936962
way to horticulturally ass rape that dipshit, Taproot curbstomp his bitch ass! bravo
>>
>>216942401
What the fuck does Sauron even have in that tower? Is it just like orc orgies all the way up and down it? How big are the floors? I doubt "rape and pillage" requires a lot of admin so I don't know what else he'd have going on in there.

Lots and lots of rape, which creates his orc hordes.
>>
>>216939596
Radagast went awol, he abandoned his mission to take care of animals and plants. His mandate was to rally and counsel the free peoples of ME, not play gardner/zoo keeper. The blue wizards went East and were never heard about again. Also the Istari never had the power to oppose Sauron by force, they were on limited roles by their superiors, they were to be councilors and supporters.

>Minas Morgul
>smaller than Minas Tirith
>literally twin cities
Movie makers shat on that one.
>>
>>216944610
How could Minas Morgul be the same size as Minas Tirith? That would be quite a lot of people living there and the surrounding area sustaining them. What happened to all of them?
>>
>>216944884
Morgul Vale used to be fertile before orcs from Cirith Ungol started shitting in Morgul River.
>>
>>216944884
I'm talking about physical size and building location (both cities built as fortresses at mountain side) not population.
>>
>>216936962
Only monocots have taproots. Dicots dont, trees are dicots except for stuff like palms, but theyre not real trees
>>
>>216945621

Oh wait nvm I've got it backwards
>>
>>216934581
>Tree roots don't go downwards
>>
>>216945574
Why would you build another enormous city the same size as your capital and not have the same size population in it?
>>
>>216945797
Better weather.
>>
>>216945797
Neither Minas Tirith nor Minas Ithil were meant to be capital.
>>
>>216945823
How'd that happen then? Was there some place even bigger and more grand?
>>
>>216936702
How do you figure? The orc was basically like “This job is going to be rough going,” and Saruman was like “I missed the part where I’m supposed to care, get it done.”
>>
>>216945912
Osgiliath
>>
>>216945993
Yeah, don't believe that. That's just a small town crossing the water on the way to Mordor
>>
>>216946074
PJ fucked up the scale
>>
>>216944610
>Minas Morgul formerly Minas Ithil
Minas Ithil=Tower of the Moon
>Minas Tirith formerly Minas Anor
Minas Anor=Tower of the Sun
The sun is a good bit bigger than the moon
>>
>>216946522
Not in Middle-earth though.
