i feel like gandalf goes off so hard on merry or pippen when he takes the orb because hes embarrassed that the omnipotent finger of god on earth got fooled by a bugs bunny level, replacing-the-thing-a-sleeping-guy-is-holding-with-another-thing gag
>>221382699>merry or pippen>lucid take on Gandalf being embarrassedwot
>>221382699They didn't have a scene to copy wholesale from tolkien so Gandalf's role is to emphasize the seriousness of the scene.
>>221383279anon he's saying "merry or pippen" because they occupy the same braincell slot until one of them starts singing or ruining a military operation stop pretending you knew which was which before your 6th rewatch
>>221382699Gandalf is oddly grumpy. He snaps at people constantly, like he thinks they're all retards and then he has to walk it back afterwards by being nice.It's a bold (and good) choice to make this angelic, 100% correct according to literal God, character have an real character flaw.
