GHOST ARMY* Summoned to Fight- Lord of the Rings 

and yet no second breakfast

@@Potato-wz4ke how about elevenses?

@@ronweasley9001 you sons of bitches made me lol, thank you so much for that. I just got an infusion at that hospital today that kicked my ass, I needed this laugh.

@@nightshadehelis9821 Get better bro

Now if could just the wife to say 'your oath has been kept, go in peace'😂

When i was a kid, i always asked, why dont they join the final battle before they gone... Finally, i know the answer..

Lore wise, they didn't fight at all, they merely dismayed the enemy at Pelargir allowing Aragorn and the grey company to commandeer the ships.

@@nuada1470 true, but that wouldn't work in movie form imo, so they kinsa had to change it

irrc, Isildur planted an orb to seal the deal, the host was called to fight and didn't thuse they were cursed.

What's more, if Aragorn wanted to show the goodness and nobility of men and restore Gondors honor, he had to keep his word as its king.

Arguably the clincher was Aragorn's ability with crushed athelas to restore to full life the limbs of Eowyn, Merry and Faramir. As it is written: The hands of the King are the hands of a healer.

They never saw the army of the dead in the book. Aragorn arrived at the battle with the southern armies because there was no longer a threat from the sea.

​@@ilokivi e

only that it wasnt as much as i like the movies, i feel obliged to point out, just like @mark Davis says, that the army of the dead dosnt fight at minas tirith, but instead it destroys the umbar hoast that is attacking the south of gondor. aragorn then arrives on the umbar ships with the men that defended the no areas that are now no longer under threat; and it is these men that tell the story of the horror of fighting alongside the dead, but that aragorn managed to rally them regardless, motivating them to not only accept him as their leader, but also to leave their now safe homes and fight in a battle they most likely would not survive in for all they knew.

"I'm shooting you a little birdie."

Also he is reluctant to unleash them on fellow men.

@@MLaak86 He sure didn't seem to mind sending them against the Umbar corsairs. :P

@@jessiehogue. If you look at the video, he warns them before quietly summoning the Men of the Burrows and taking no pleasure at all in watching the slaughter.

@@MLaak86 There is a difference between 'taking no pleasure' in something and being reluctant to do it. One does not imply the other. His only reluctance to using them was because they were murderers and oath-breakers. As for warning them, that is simply a thing anyone decent would do before resorting to violence. It's only natural, not showing reluctance as much as honor.

@@jessiehogue. I have to disagree, he could have simply sicced them on the Corsairs without a moment's hesitation, instead he warns them and then just watches with a regretful expression when he sees he'll have to use the Men of Barrows.

Over poweryes , but only a True king can command them but only to fullfill there oath

well basically they are cursed undead waiting for their king to return. they are the inspiration for the undead in warcraft 3 frozen throne if you are familiar with the pc game. of course LOTR came first written as a book

I just imagine the soldiers of Gondor and Rohan looking at them at going, “What the hell?!?!?!?”

In the book they just helped to attack the ships.

@@mairon154 yea they didn’t even attack they just scared them off. I prefer the movie version of the undead

Well... It was probably the scariest place in Middle Earth and Legolas was already at least 2000 years old, when Gimli was only about 500-600? Love the dynamic though.

you should read the books, guess who Legolas takes with him when he finally sails to Valinor?

@@CountMorningstar I know

even worse in his afterlife which most Dwarves take as a Norse Mythos, their ancestors would curse them out at the dining hall for all of eternity. Which of course is Valhalla or a similar fashion of it.

@@CountMorningstarthat is my favorite part of the appendices. I can imagine a still young Legolas caring for a very elderly Gimli, it would be so sweet.

That, and he was probably smart enougth to not push it.

He was true to his word, and gave them the chance to redeem themselves and regain their honor to rest in peace.

A man's word is the measure of his worth. If he breaks his word then he can not be trusted and he is worthless. Aragorn understood that perfectly.

@@florians9949 Sauron is a necromancer, so it was a good move to set them free.

@@thomasvanwely And this aswell.

A true king leads from the fore, not the rear.

@@jedirayden Leadership is not just about telling people what to do

You people are morons! He only did that in the film, and wasn't Tolkien's intent at all. Aragorn would never have blindly charged the forces of Mordor.

“Imagine a King who fights his own battles, wouldn’t that be a sight.” - Achilles ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_z5UKystdZg.htmlsi=aQA8xpEC5tQ6wTW-

true king behaviour

Where did they go? Just disappear forever?

@@Daniel-ld7xs Whatever the LOTR universe considers "heaven" or what comes after death. They're no longer trapped by the curse.

@@Daniel-ld7xs their finally free and now resting in peace

Aragorn also basically said it in a heart-felt way, so it was so nice to hear in all forms.

@@Daniel-ld7xs It was never made clear what happens to humans and other mortal races after death. Elvish souls go to the Halls of Mandos and wait to be reborn in Middle Earth. Human souls leave the world and don't come back until the end of the world. Where they go and what is their purpose at the end is never known. Only Ilúvatar the supreme creator knows and this is considered a gift as perhaps they go on the greatest adventure after they pass away.

Grandma's? How many did you have there? Also why do your grandma's**** like LOTR? Uhhhhhh so much about this comment make 0 sense.

My son was the exact same way!

me too!!

@@theretiredbartender88 hi dad

Truly a "Polaroid" moment.

❤❤❤

The exaggerated swagger of a middle aged White king.

Oathbreakers and democracy go hand in hand :p

More like if you survive this. I will join you.😂

I don't care, this is now canon!

In the script it says, "Insert cool looking CGI scene with skulls here".

​@@valerieblackwell5765Meaning what? American politicians?

Yes this month movie 19 Years ago when you are better than most people don't know what out there today and tomorrow morning 🌅🌅🌅🌅🌞🌞🌞🌅 memory memorial hospital and see what you want the money 💸💸💸💸💸💸💰💰💰💰💰 tamarraw and morning and then we could get a chance not need new ones never been there before you can see the email I have been working

😂haha why do you even compare😅

Probably beacuse today, it seems they are just doing movies with less quality to get money fast..

I agree with you❤

no one can command us but the king of yada yada so how could he order that army?

@@HEROWARSLESSONS because that's quite literally one of the biggest things Sauron specialized in? The Oath won't mean much if the power of Saurons magic is stronger. And trust me,as a Maier, it IS stronger

@@HEROWARSLESSONS to be fair, also consider the ghosts' track record with oaths

Indeed, putting an army of specters within reach of the greatest necromancer/dark magic user of this time would be quite dumb. This would join the pantheon of "wtf strategies of Middle Earth" with *"Don't let our bow cavalry kite them, but let's charge oliphants head-on on open ground" by Théoden And "Let's make firewood with the trees of a well-know enchanted forest populated by conscious, mobile and particularly territorials thousand-year-old giant trees" by Saruman

debating about soft magic. . . They could wipe out mordor if author wants them to, or they could have wiped out mankind. Debating about these things are silly.

Loved that subtle change in facial expression

The actor definitely captured the whole "I'm so glad to be done with this" face ever

Sometimes... dead is bettah...

*@Mark Page - Pet Cemetery?* 🤔

@@SpclOps20 Yes.

You are correct, but you are also wrong, imagine how many Gondorians were killed in the battle at the gates of mordor? So many souls were taken, when Aragorn could have just asked them to go to mordor and destroy all of the orcs around Saurons tower. I dont think the spirits would complain, they are immortal afterall. But yeah for the sake of plot, they had to be "gone" before the fellowship arrived at the gates.

@@EternalKvK it's exactly that - how many could they still have killed if he compelled them to stay. But that wasn't the deal he made with them. He stuck to the deal he made, and didn't try to "creatively" misinterpret what he said to keep them.

@@EternalKvKin the books they had no physical power. They only “debuffed” their enemies and were sworn to protect Gondor, not fight its wars.

​@@EternalKvKtaking them to the gates of the man called The Necromancer would be a very bad idea. They would no longer be your army, they would be his and you would lose the war.

"this army...".....not "MY army..."

Indeed

@@jimmynolet3752 they killed a lot before they were overrun. No way they had enough ammo to get out of that situation. Plus it took place in Somalia not Sudan

@@surfingtothestars either way they trained so hard for years so i was merely saying it happened in real life.

@@thelegittaco974 yep, it’s him. I watched a behind the scenes video about it and fact checked on google. Pretty neat.

Also his two kids appear in every movie

@@terrormichl9037 That’s really neat that their Dad included them in his amazing work.

6:31

Agreed. The way they held the sword until the 3rd movie was also very effective. In the books, Aragorn just has it right away and it doesn't add a lot to his character or story. It's broken and then 2 chapters later it's reforged off page and only mentioned occasionally

Thank you for being so kind and understanding about the movies... I have seen to many comments in videos about the movies where those who read the books first start dissing every little detail and just being rude to everyone who disagrees with them.... So thank you.

why did he even let them all. all he need to win the last battle lmao

My cousin says that I laugh like the ghost king. I wonder why he made this comparison.

Hahaha

@@wonrei this is the extended edition

I've watched the movie many times, but the 1st time to see the extended cut.

​@@CONTACTLIGHTTOMMY Oh you're missing out on so much. Everyone should watch the extended editions at least once. I saw the extended editions, now I can't go back to the theatrical. Ever.

In ancient English "warlock" means "oath breaker".

In my opinion it should've been Arwen delivering Anduril. In the books she makes a banner for him and sends it with her brothers. And she was never in any kind of shadow sickness thing. It would have made sense and kept her in the plot as they wanted to.

Unfortunetly we had one in form of TV series but we all know how it ended.

@@madkoala2130 is it Myrddin?

@@confusedindy GoT

No. No you won't. So just watch LotR again.

Peter Jackson was our generation's Cecil B. DeMille. Vision to stick to the lore, the willingness to do it right in spite of the mounting cost... I doubt you could find ten forgettable scenes in the entire trilogy.

same way as he left out "may teh best dwarf win!" after they jumped off the ship and prior to charge the orcs

Legolas had used his sight so he knew exactly what he was following into. Pretty serious loyalty as well. Pretty sure Gimli had to tamp down the entirety of his races fears to enter. Those three were truly inspirational heroes. Not sure how they made that whole journey dragging their massive balls along.

because some people believe that gimli became a bit of a slapstick joke and they are right. in the books he was a no nonsense bad motherfucker.

Haha, love Gimli quotes

@@bradprice8040 BALLS of this size, come with two wheels - each.

Hypocritical.

More of an extension than to renege, but I take your point 😄

Well, I wouldn’t say it was a renege so much as a “not quite yet”….the battle wasn’t completely over if I remember correctly?

@@roberthenson6153 the war no, but rhe battle had been won and the host of Sauron was routed if not utterly destroyed.. Yet the wording in the barrows was fight for us and I will release you from this living death, so yes and no Gimli was wrong

Could you please explain what else you're talking about I can't think of any. Honestly I'm not really well read on this stuff though I'm kind of new to it.

Technically what stops the army of the dead from being like hey we killed those guys on the ships release us. Isn't the minis Tirith stuff technically extra too?

It was more a case of, “these guys are appetizers, the real force is at the capital itself. Us mortals just need a fast way of getting there, with an element of surprise.”

@@amanhasnousername1614 That's how it actually went in the books. After the corsairs were defeated Aragorn held their oath fulfilled and boarded the ships with men from the southern fiefs to sail for Minas Tirith.

Absolutely true

Will smith??

I'm a 69 year old man, and so do I! "My friends, you bow to no one."

Are the ships all of the elves leaving?

@@scottmikkelson3168 Nope, those are the Corsairs/Mercenaries from the south. Valinor is far northwest of Gondor

@@shapshooter7769 Thank you!

Legolas is a wish come true lol

and rumor has it that Frodo still has no clue who is Legolas....

"The witch King of Angmar. Defeated by a shield maiden! And a Hobbit." That first part would be surprise and anger, but knowing it was a Hobbit I'll bet filled Sauron with fear.

@@BookofGates omg i didn’t think about this! but it makes sense! because up until then, sauron probably wasn’t concerned. sure, he didn't have his ring, but two hobbits did, and hobbits are easy to defeat, right? except by killing the witch king, merry showed that hobbits *aren't* easy to defeat. meaning the two hobbits with the ring whose destruction could kill him actually stand a chance of destroying it and him.

@@lauraknight5973 Sauron viewed anyone and anything he didn't understand with fear, suspicion and malice (a lot like Saruman towards Gandalf the White). He knows of Gandalf, but very little actually "about" him. I think he genuinely thought Aragorn or Gandalf had the ring, thus explaining their "no hope" last stand at the black gate. Only too late, far too late did Sauron realized "the magnitude of his folly." Love all thing tolkein, highly recommend the anniversary illustrated edition of LOTR. In the book, the Nazgul all realize the Hobbits have westernesse blade and only the Witch King is brave enough to attack Frodo and stab him, Frodo only survives because he "resists to the last."

@@lauraknight5973 Actually, yes. This trilogy does a poor job of portraying it, but, Frodo was actually well tuned with the ring and could effectively use its power while he wore it. In fact, when certain others looked at him, they could see a powerful and terrifying white aura surrounding him. The elves could sense both great power and great evil coming from him. While climbing Mount Doom, Gollum attacked he and Sam (again) and knocked Sam out for a moment. After Sam gained his footing again, he saw Frodo as a figure in a glowing white robe with a wheel of fire in his chest where the ring was. Out of that wheel and Frodo's mouth he heard "Begone, and trouble me no more! If you ever touch me again, you shall be cast yourself into the Fire of Mt. Doom." To this day, it's unknown if that was Frodo or the ring itself speaking through him. Sauron had reason to fear at this point because he knew SOMEONE was using his ring, but somehow he could not find it. He only knew that a truly resilient Hobbit had the ring and he was on his way to destroy it. By this point Sauron was quaking in his boots, truly.

FECKING TRAITORS!!! -Sauron Probably

Hi David 👋👋

How about Mount Hira 😂😂, nice to see you here David Wood

Thats the beauty of it. He held in his power a force more mighty than the one ring would have given him. Unlike Isildur he was able to relinquish this power, proving he was able to break the curse of his lineage.

@@jameshunsucker2147 Not really, if you had an invincible army, you'd make a bargain to wipe out your enemy's forces, not just 1 battle. Instead of wasting your countrymen's lives on a heroic suicide charge. Any footsoldier would know that even if they'd cleared out the pelennor fields, there'll still be a large reserve force in mount doom. And Aragon knew he couldn't hold them forever, if they turned against him, there's nothing to stop them from rampaging through the world. It was more of a business transaction between them but he could have asked for more from the beginning.

James proves he is a lucky fool they had zero knowledge of Frodo being anywhere near?the mountain lol he was lucky as fuck lol

Can't imagine anyone else as anyone else in this film. The casting was perfect.

Yeah he is Awesome, he's also Awesome in GI Jane as the Navy Seal instructor and he's Awesome in The Road

I learned not too long ago that Virgo Mortensen was not the first choice for the role of Aragorn. Stuart Townsend was chosen to play Aragorn, but due to his refusal to learn how to ride a horse, or rehearse fight scenes, Viggo Mortensen became the runner up. Mortensen already knew how to ride a horse and was more than willing to show up for rehearsals. IMO he was far better suited for the role🙂

He's never been more masculine, powerful, hairy or oily in any film role since.

@@basileusnkuna4704 Another good movie.

talking like the movie hit 20 last year when its not 20 till this december

Whatever.

This trilogy will hold up long after we are dead. Our ancestors will still be watching this as a "classic" and there will likely be TV stations that run this a hundred years from now as a special.

It is still compelling viewing and flawless filmmaking, with effects that hold up after 20 years (which is an eternity in CGI vernacular). The performances and production and emotion are all still gripping!

So glad this series was made. This is entertainment at it's peak

Narsil is magic

Yeah, I bet it did. Plus, it can also clash with mordor ring wraith sword blades too as well of course.

Not only is Anduril magic, but it is being wielded by a person who's direct family tree includes: Sindar elves, Noldar elves, Maiar (Melian), Earendil and Elros. It can be argued that Aragorn Elessar partly existed in the supernatural plane. Just a thought.

Yes eliphant not oliphant

I was only about 9 years old when I watched this scene but I laughed so hard. Idk why, I think it’s bc Aragorn is so nonchalant and meanwhile a green blob is just taking down an oliphaunt

I loved that so much.

Only the ones he made with the power of the rings. You have no idea what you are talking about.@@Phoenix1Leader

@@user-nz6dx2fj6h No need for that, just saying that Sauron could’ve easily swayed them to join his side with a little “hey, look how I treat my undead? And you can get revenge on your oathbreaker.”

I reaally think he shud hv atleast said after we defeat sauron or at the end of the war , like i think u wud hv required it when then went to attack saurons forces. A battalion of invulnerable ghost soldiers is exactly what u need.

Yes, except the Oathbreakers are movie exclusive. In the book Aragorn rallied the grey-company, 31 dunedain rangers of the north who are very much livings.

hows life at 66?

Hope you are doing good my man. 🖤

Keep on keeping on, frank. My man 🤜🤛

I am 10 years younger than you. But I too think I read the three books at a similar age to you. They are probably my favourite literary pieces in my life.

It is We don't get to see this kind movies In today's era

You are a hundred Orcs. You see three people. And they seem to confidently advance on you. I think it would make anyone second guess themselves and look around to see if they missed something.

Probably thought there was even more elves and dwarves on the ships. Or felt the presence of the ghosts approaching now behind them.

In books they feared him too Also in books Aragorn was 2 meters tall !!

They were already scared sh*tless by the possible implication (in their point of view) of an entire fleet of corsairs being routed by nothing but a man, a dwarf and an elf. But they totally didn't expect an undead army.

Could have had a slight thing to do with the 10,000 strong ghost Army behind him 🤔🤨

Yea it's the sword

He is the king, he has the power over them.

Considering it's a movie with elves, wizards, dwarfs, and some crazy dude that has his power tied up in a ring, I suppose we can ignore it. Although since Aragon was the coolest dude alive, he could pretty much do what he wants

his blood(genes) is from the former king which is his father. the same bloodline = the line is NOT broken.

Is Aragon gonna have to choke a bitch?

IKR? Galadriel is epic but Aragorn is on another level.

Haha oh how much time could’ve been saved 😂

That army would've made all their battles so much easier! Aragon showed he is a true King who honors his word! That scene gave me goose bumps

I guess since Sauron can control the 9 rings. If the dead army face Sauron, they will likely be corrupted by the power and defected.

bring a dead army to fight a man who can revive a dead man? i think its not a good idea

I thought I heard him say " The dead do not suffer the living to ask "

You are righ t with the meaning of the phrase "to suffer"

Not only does it mean "to allow", but almost kind of, "allowing someone to do something you don't want to let them do", adding more weight and authority to Aragorns statement.

@Abu Ibrahim Ahmad to suffer and to tolerate are the same verb in hebrew as well

@Pierce Hart so, how do you explain the construction "the kingdom of God suffers Violence"

Truly one that cannot be topped

best of all scenes

WE FIGHT.

He also fearlessly charged at the head of the ghost army. It would have been easy (and safe) to sit back and watch them kill everything with no effort but he still led from the front.

Definitely
