>Aragorn killing the Mouth of Sauron during a parley is widely seen as a violation of medieval and modern laws of war, constituting a war crime
>>217236049the exact moment you should have realized Hackson if a fraud.JRR Tolkien would have literally sued
>parley this
The existence of orcs and black people is a war crime
>>217236049this is clearly a very early medieval society still clinging to the last vestiges of the heroic era.
>>217236049>not muh heckin mordorinos!!!!
>>217236049>leftists fighting for the Civil rights of Orcs and Black Numenoreans
>>217236049Its not a war crime if the entire enemy army is dead
>>217236171(Samefagging) and we can't forget about the Rus (I mean Easterlings), Near Haradrim (Arabs) and Far Haradrim (sub-Saharan Africans). They were only fighting against the White male patriarchy as represented by Gondor and Rohan
>no peace bannerAragorn did nothing wrong
Show me the formal rules for conduct in war that exist middle earth.
>>217236049There are no war crimes in a feudalist society
>>217236049>Satan cries when we don't uphold ruleslol
>>217236049it's only a war crime if you lose.
>>217236101what happens to mouthy in the books?
>>217236049>Noooooo! You can't just kill the demonic satanist who went out there for the sole purpose of demoralizing them!!!
>>217236049>MUH WAR CRIMES MUH WAR CRI-ACK
>>217236049He become king, he could just pardon himself
>>217236292Iirc he was actually described as handsome like a typical Numenorean and kinda disappeared before the Battle started.
>>217236273Nothing. He presumably died in the battle. Other than that, it is unknown
>>217236101that ghost part were much worseliterally made middle earth smaller and less intressting by not including more gondorian armies
>>217236049But how would the people react? What was their taxation laws like at this time, and how would it affect their opinion?
>>217236292>But that's just Gondor propaganda. He was a pillar of his community with a loving family of orcs and uruks (creatures incapable of love). Gondor needs to accept more Uruk immigrants. Getting your family slaughtered by a raid is just part and parcel of living in a big city like Gondor
>>217236049Weird how you guys always sympathize with the bad guys.
>>217236353Peter Jackson was mainly a horror movie director berfore lotr. That is why stupid shit like the appearance Mouth of Sauron is in the movie
>>217236385>umm dont you know you guys are like voldemort and thanos??yeah thanks reddit
>>217236388Speaking if, where are the 4K restorations of Dead Alive/Braindead, Meet the Feebles and Bad Taste. They've been hyped for years and years now.
>>217236388>Stupid shit>The most kino scene and creature in the trilogy You might have just gotten filtered and would be more comfortable somewhere with your own kind (Plebbit)
>>217236428>>The most kino scene and creature in the trilogy
>>217236049War crimes do not exist, they are a fiction used to morally justify the victor's actions toward defeated foes.
>>217236388The LotR movies are just horror movies where the heroes are highly competent superhumans who are able to beat up the horror villains.
>>217236049BEHEADALLSATANS
>>217236049>parleyNo white flag was raised, no parley was taking place.
>>217236521"They have a CAVE TROLL"
>>217236049Do you not get tired of posting the same unfunny xitter engagement bait tier threads over and over? You realize you can just make normal lotr threads if that's what you want right?
>>217236049are you going to cry about this as well?
>>217236049>Walk into a king's court>Deliver your message>But also pull all the stops to insult him and things you know matter to himI'm pretty sure there was some form of law for people whorl were/are asking for it
>>217236388Nah, the idea that speaking the Black Speech makes your mouth orc-like is kino.
>>217236049The idea of ambassadors and diplomatic immunity was invented by the Gauls (ambassador is literally a Gaulish word for "servant" -"ambaxtos") that caught on with the Romans. Before that you could do whatever you wanted with an emissary if you didn't like what they said, and why non-European civilizations like the Mongols, Japanese or Arabs would torture ambassadors to death if they brought them unwelcome news.
Yo dudes just surrender and disarm yourselves and allow our soldiers to have a permanent peacekeeping force within your country and never raise your hand against us ever again, we promise we won't invade you in 5 years time dudes
>>217236936slaves and americans are both evilonly germans are good
>>217236049>this makes mr martin seethe
>>217236388also explains Galadriel and scary Bilbo
>>217236049how many times do we need to have this thread?
>>217236454>Plebbit reaction image I accept your concession
>>217237327I got that from here. Any other retard shit you want to spew?
>>217236388His writing is infantile trash set against a very pretty background.
get smote
>>217236049>>Aragorn killing the Mouth of Sauron during a parley is widely seen as a violation of medieval and modern laws of war, constituting a war crime
>>217236049But what was aragorn's tax policy???
>>217236363Aragorn stares him down, and he cries like the little bitch he is.
>>217236364I never really thought that stuff was particularly interesting. It always felt like background noise to whatever Pippin was doing.
Just recently relistened to the audiobooks. The forces of mordor decapitate hirgon, a gondorian emissary who brings the rohirrim tidings of war. They clearly don't respect the notion that killing an emissary is off limits. This meme can end
Why didn't they just use the eagles to fly to Morder, abduct Sauron, transport him back to Rivendell to face justice, and then negotiate with the Witch King for access to minerals in the black pits?
>>217236049wasn't in the real version of the film so who gives a shit about hackson's fanfic.
>>217236388>stupid shit like the appearance Mouth of SauronEveryone with a decent taste knows it’s an excellent scene that shouldn’t have been cut you stupid brown redditor.
>>217236171they literally do this
>>217236147kek
>>217236049Aragorn is descended from divine beings fighting a war against a fallen divine being. Believe it or not, the rules are a little different sometimes.
>>217236824>human decency was invented by the gaulsinteresting theory. Countries would always severely punish other countries if they harmed their ambassadors i they were able to. It has nothing to do with "diplomatic immunity". harming an ambassador is an act of war.
>>217236313the UN is going to have a fucking field day with this one, aragorn and my ass is already stuffed 8 inches deep from the mordor lawyers. turn in your crown and sword
>>217236049He also crossed state lines to do this foul act of murder.
>>217236353It's just another example of PJ's compulsion to ruin characters and plot points wherever possible.
they're not in medieval times
>>217236049there were no such thing as "war crimes" or "laws of war" until the 20th century. Before that there were atrocities.
How could a king commit a crime? By what authority would you judge him? The whole notion is ludicrous.
>>217240188why is there a statue of this guy in Trafalgar square?
>>217236049This did seem very out of character for Aragorn to be perfectly fair and honest.
>>217236049Better question is why the Mouth just stood there like a dumbass.
>>217236049i thought you guys loved war crimes now
>>217236824> and why non-European civilizations like the Mongols, Japanese or Arabs would torture ambassadors to death if they brought them unwelcome news>MongolsYou do realize that the Mongols launched entire invasions over instances of their diplomats being abused, right? And that Genghis Khan had men put to death if they abused foreign diplomats, right? You're correct about the others though, but the Mongols were almost excessively protective of ambassadors, theirs and others, and went full psycho if abuse happened.
