I wanted to argue on behalf of Amon Hen but I can’t do it.

Great scene, not the same caliber

Thanks why I didn’t try to argue it but it’s my favorite scene. That one and Balin’s tomb are so cool.

Love Balin's tomb. Feels like peak d&d to me

Spectacular work. And yes, very funny. 😆

You skipped the music - especially the draw of the drums throughout the scene.

Why did you deny yourself the pleasure of saying “Gothmog?”

Also, the two notes that constitute the horn blast… I really need a musicologist to explain why that particular interval is so stirring. It’s the same two notes that Queen play right before Vultan and the Hawkmen attack the war rocket Ajax in Flash Gordon. (0:48 if you don’t believe me.)

Alas, Gothmog isn't part of the scene 😭

You're totally about Flash Gordon! Great call.
