Gets completely underutilized

Jackson said he didn't have them in the final battle because of cost and confusion because the audience wouldn't know who was fighting who if they were both human

>being this fucking retarded
it was butchered in the movies
they're terrible
they exist solely to cover up the books

That's dumb. Audiences weren't confused by the Haradrim at Pelennor Fields.

pretty much everyone in the world disagrees, but congratulations on having an opinion I guess

But those were Arabic types.

Literally who?

because the haradrim were on giant elephants

there's one shot of an easterling in minas tirith

nice appeal to popular opinion, retard. also, christopher tolkien doesn't.

They Invade Erebor and kill Dain but that's not in the movies

plastic and rubber doesn't cost much

Dumb americans. Ruining potential with their low iq every time.

>le based irrelevant angry old man disagrees
okay?

You can see them a bit in ROTK when the orcs smash through the doors of Minas Tirith. The shot when it's looking behind the Gondor soldiers towards the advancing orcs, you see the Easterlings behind the orcs with their shields before the shots pans to the orcs running rampant in the city.

Here is the scene but it's so brief that they are easy to miss.

>irrelevant
>is the reason we have silmarillion

There's another part after the main gate is destroyed where you seem them in the back ground charge the gondorian shield wall en masse. It's pretty cool tbqh.

The costumes would have fallen apart in a fight.

It's that same scene, literally after the door is smashed. It's after the trolls come in and you have that close up shot of Gandalf.

you still see them a lot in the video games at least

Imagining dedicating your life to sucking off your own dad instead of making your own mark. Christopher Tolkien is the ultimate cuck.

because they were nogs

Not just the americans but the europeans and australians too

>In 2001, he expressed doubts over The Lord of the Rings film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, questioning the viability of a film interpretation that retained the essence of the work, but stressed that this was just his opinion. In a 2012 interview with Le Monde he criticised the films saying: "They gutted the book, making an action film for 15 to 25-year-olds."

They had the cavalry too.

I never noticed that. You have the trolls soaking the shots, the orcs are scattered about, and then the Easterlings are in this one huge mass. It's all kind of hard to see because everyone's armor is dark; you wouldn't be able to even tell the humans apart if it wasn't for the helmets.

Did their cavalry show up in the movie?

>using a screen of orc fucking shits to soften up the Gondorian's front line before you go in with your elite boys
very nice

I mean for me it's cool that the Easterlings were in battle but I would have loved to see them in action. On the scene they appear, it's obvious that the orcs are the first wave of attack and meant to be disposed of easily while the Easterlings are the brunt of the attack with their big shields. It would also have also loved to see them in the Pelennor Fields as some sort of flank attack from the city while the Rohirrim think they have gained an advantage over the Haradrim.

I thought they were the ones seen in the background in the gate sceneI hope that's not a false memory. If it's not it's definitely out of focus.

Wasnt it because of 9 11 or some shit?

Christopher Tolkien is a massive cunt. A piece of shit to his family and everything that his father hated about rabid fans of his work.

They were fighting with the dwarves in the north. No time to show it even in the Hobbit. We may see more of the easterlings in the show but I'm gonna wait until it's actually out and is good.

But what would be the point to even introduce them at all in the movie at the black gate. They are present only in a few shots at tve gate of minas tirith like the rest had been cut

They were good movies
You're retarded
Popular opinion is all that matters when you're talking about opinion you dumb autist
There is no one else that agrees with you
That's because you're wrong

I know Royd Tolkien, he is also a twat
