The Worship of Weapons

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-11-2002, 10:54 PM

Since we were shut off of "Wwoooooowww!" because of going off subject, I though I'd start this thread to continue our discussion, and because I just LOVE the weapons in the movie! So, what are all of your favorite weapons from the movie? Being indecisive, I'll list mine, in order of what I liked the most:

1. the bow of Legolas. and the arrows, of course!
2. his knives
3. Sting
4. The balrog's flaming sword
5. Aragorn's bow
6. Aragorn's sword

That's all for now. . .

Gorhiriel · 03-11-2002, 11:03 PM

NEAT!! Ditto!

But Aragorn isn't supposed to be an archer!!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-12-2002, 01:47 AM

I know, I was wondering what on earth he was doing with a bow! But it still looked cool. . .

Gimli's axe was nice too. And the balrog's flaming whip. . .poor Mithrandir!
Glad there's more than one admirer of weapons here.

Elvet · 03-12-2002, 12:55 PM

- narsil/anduril
- Gandalf's staff
- sting
- Turin's sword

Ararax · 03-12-2002, 12:59 PM

gandalf sword is phat to glamdring and its brother orcrist

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-12-2002, 01:21 PM

The Shards of Narsil were great! I can't wait to see it reforged, if they ever get around to doing that in the movie. It was really nice. Another rather out-of-place weapon that still looked great was Arwen's sword. Did anyone else like that one?

But my favorite is still the bow of Legolas!

Ararax · 03-12-2002, 01:25 PM

suposedly narsil is reforged at the beginning of either the 2 towers or rotk but i was rather dissapointed at arwens appearence so i didnt notice the sword

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-12-2002, 01:35 PM

Oh, good, so they do plan to fit in the reforging somewhere! (I hope!) I only noticed Arwen's sword because I've seen the movie six times, and I wasn't quite as angry about Arwen's appearance as some (Although that stealing of Frodo's moment of glory there was SO bad--okay, off-topic. Calm down, Eruviel!) and I always notice weapons. . .
I am the provider of sharp pointy objects! (okay, not quite, but I collect any weapons that are not guns/explosives/anything post-Renaissance-I just spelled that wrong, didn't I?)

Ararax · 03-12-2002, 01:55 PM

i saw it 3 times i noticed most of them especially the elf armys in the beginning

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-12-2002, 04:02 PM

Oh, the last alliance stuff was GREAT!!!! Heh, let's just say I liked everything. . .

What was it the elves had, that they swung up into the orcs at the front lines? They looked like swords but I don't think they were. . .halbards. . .something like that. . .

Anyone seen the picture of the banners on the official page? It's one of the desktop wallpapers. . .the spear heads are just lovely. . .

Pailan · 03-12-2002, 04:12 PM

How about Sauron's mace?

Ërendil · 03-12-2002, 05:47 PM

I liked the weapons used in the film especially Sting. The glowing blue blade reminds me of the Lionheart in FF8...sorry must keep on topic. Anyhow Legolas' bow and arrows were cool as well but the balrogs sword was awesome.

(Just for the record, I too have seen the film six times and i am proud of that! It is the most times i have sen a film at the pictures)

TinuvielChild · 03-12-2002, 09:12 PM

legolas's bow/arrows/quiver
glamdring
sting
arwen's sword was pretty cool, but i also am extremely annoyed cuz of the 'if you want him, come and claim him' bull...arwen is nowt but a ninnyhammer!

ooooooooooohhh! who else thought that the blades of Morgul were awesome?!?

i love weaponry, and i love RenFaires and the SCA, and you would not BELIEVE how much time i spend searching for good renaissance/medieval weaponry/clothing online!!!

would that they would not only make replicas of sting/glamdring/witch-king's sword, but also the bows!!! hmmm...who wants to help me petition the people in charge of making the replica movie weapons for the elven bows and arrows?

I've seen it six times too! Isn't the flaming sword great!

I figure, with Arwen's sword, since she was there and there is nothing we can do about it, we can at least admire the weaponry!

Morgul blades were wonderful! (was there a weapon I didn't like in this movie? I don't think so. . .)

Tinuviel Child, I'm all for making a petition! Let's do that, I really want that bow! Would people here sign it?

Ararax · 03-12-2002, 11:32 PM

morgul baldes were awesome

StrawberryIcecream · 03-13-2002, 12:52 PM

I know it isnt in the film, but dont you just love elven rope???

So useful for hurting evil beings!!!!!!!!!

aaaaahhhhh! Elven Rope!

Yes, between managing to get close enough to the being, stopping it from killing you and strangling the evil being with the rope in a quick and efficent time, it can be useful.

TinuvielChild · 03-13-2002, 03:55 PM

yeah, here i am taking my cue from the Lord of the Rings Easter Egg mistake thread, in that they are both writing letters to Cadbury's and raiding the factories....there's an idea!

why don't we both petition whoever's in charge of manufacturing the replicas, and kidnap the actual person who made them for the movie!!! (not really, but it's a fun idea to contemplate

)

ELVEN ROPE RULES!!!!!

Wayfarer · 03-13-2002, 04:58 PM

I was really pissed by the elven swords.

They were just too fantasy. I mean... those things in the LA? And Arwen with a katana? Please.

My main beef is it's inconsistent. Arwen's sword is japanese. the The Hobbit's weapons are celtic. Gandalf's sword is pretty english. And Aragorn has a cross between a bastard sword and a small Claymore.

Yet all those weapons were likely made by the same people. Either the Numenoreans or the Elves. You'd think there'd be a bit of similarity.

dark over lord · 03-13-2002, 06:53 PM

i loved the wraith blades, but they could have used a couple of 20mm bazookas. oh ya does any one know how to change the name to the left?
