What weapons would you use to fight an army of ghosts who can cut you but you can't cut them?
Also why didn't Aragorn send his ghost army straight through the gates of Mordor to wipe out every last orc after they btfo the orc army at the Pelennor Fields? It seems kind of dumb to dismiss them, then invade Mordor and get most of your men slaughtered.
Because if he did, you would be making a post about how fucking stupid that would have been.
I dunno
Why didn’t those faggits just ride those big ass eagles over to the volcano and drop the furry foot niggers’s bling in?
That shit was lame af
>Also why didn't Aragorn send his ghost army straight through the gates of Mordor to wipe out every last orc after they btfo the orc army at the Pelennor Fields?
they only joined with aragorn to fulfill their oath
after pelennor field, they had finished their mission and were now ready to pass on
The dragon slayer might work on them.
The eagles were almost just as strong as the wizards/Sauron. They would have been corrupted by it.
I'd use my harsh words. Steel cant cut them, words def can.
Nigger that’s a lame excuse
Just let the little guy hold it and ride on it’s back
It would be like 20 minutes and done
"FLY, YOU FOOLS!"
Gandalf basically whispered it. One could make the argument that, in a massive cave, with goblins and orcs chanting behind them, and trying to dodge arrows all the while, that none of the MCs heard Gandalf suggest the biggest plot hole of the series.
Why didn't Aragorn just ask the ghost king nicely to fight a bunch of orcs who can't even hurt them? Is he actually that stupid?
They are fucking eagles what can they do with a ring?
>It seems kind of dumb to dismiss them
So you think it seems like a smart idea to break your promise to the ghost army that got cursed to hell and back for breaking their promise once upon a time? If only there was some sort of precedent to be seen around here for whether or not you can safely break promises about loyal service and such things.
Only because the guy swinging it is basically stuck halfway in the spirit world. Pretty sure he can also destroy ghosts and such with his fists when he's pissed off enough.
tbf Aragorn was their king and would have been entirely within his rights to command them to fight again.

This is Jow Forums
not Harry Potter book club
we are discussing battlefield tactics when ghosts are involved
The ghosts seem pretty reasonable. I would try parley. Or fleeing while spraying fear diarrhea everywhere.
As to the other question it's because aragorn is a pussy. He spent most of his life shirking his responsibility and wandering around. He's like a history major deciding to go for his masters instead of facing the real world.
This is Jow Forums, Harry Potter book clubs are too good for us
>battlefield tactics when ghosts are involved
Exactly why Jow Forums exists
I know Yusuke is a bit OP
Dude, the ghosts were just trying to Netflix and chill. Sucks when you're about to get some ghost from best bud, have to run off to slay some fleshy meat bag.
>Also why didn't Aragorn send his ghost army straight through the gates of Mordor to wipe out every last orc after they btfo the orc army at the Pelennor Fields? It
He because he did a deal with them to do what they did. Read the books.
Lazy faggot ghosts. Sitting on their undead ass. At least aragorn put their un death to some use.
>we are discussing battlefield tactics when ghosts are involved
Cluster bombs with white ash, silver, and holy water added.
Also very effective against South Koreans.
Only if you point it at them while they sleep.
Depends on if they are vulnerable to it like Boromir was. He wasn't as close to the ring as the eagles would be with Frodo riding on their backs and it ensnared him pretty damn easily.
Gandalf admitted that he was REALLY fucking tempted by it as well, and he is a super wizard that was locked at easy mode by the gods.
Another thing was just plain risk. They might not have been sure of the true extent of the rings ability to ensnare and enthrall, and the eagles were like super special powerful magic eagles. So they REALLY didn't want to risk it.
In the books sauron had anti air defenses that were destroyed by aragorns men at the black gates. Only then could the eagles fly in. Peter jackson just changed a bunch of shit and turned sauron into a giant eyeball
Because in the book these events took place months if not years apart.
It's like asking why didn't the Americans just nuke Germany instead of invading France.
The Eagles didn't want anything to do with this. They were real dicks actually and only helped Gandalf because Gandalf was their bro. They were isolationist. And also are not immune to the power of Sauron. So no fly by ring bomb even if he asked.
The army of the dead was only there to save gondor thus restoring their honor. And also are not immune to the power of Sauron. And even if he commanded them to continue to fight they'd probably just say fuck you and go back into the mountains because he didn't keep his word.
A major theme in the book is nobody wants to help anyone and it's men that this burden falls to. The elves fuck off, the dwarves turtle up, sauroman joins the bad guys. Even the ones who kinda help don't offer much. The wood elves don't even want them to pass through their land.

Shooting ghosts works. I learned this from STALKER.
