#he's a subtler character and he's way more interesting in the two towers than fellowship

I forced my friend who hates epic fantasy to watch Lord of the Rings with me, and I mean that legitimately, like she literally said I'm not watching that, and I said while you're in my goddamn house, you're watching it. There's no negotiation.
Anyway, she spent the first half of the Two Towers bitching and complaining and saying everyone was boring and no one was pretty - she also called Aragorn mid, which honestly, to be honest, to be truthful, if I killed her, I'm pretty sure a judge and a jury would side with me for that one.
But I digress.
She spent the first half of the movie saying the movie sucked- and then she shut her goddamn mouth for the second half.
Because even the biggest epic fantasy haters in the world shut their whining mouths when they see the battle of helm's deep.
There is literally TOO MUCH cool shit happening for even the most normie of normies to hate on it.
Seriously. Elves showing up when the humans need them most, elven archers with the amazing long range volleys, orcs with ladders, orcs with HOOKS, bombing the wall down, Legolas riding down a shield as he shoots arrows, Aragorn throwing Gimli's ass at the bridge...
Gandalf arriving on his white horse with the Rohirrim to save the damn day...and yes, elsewhere, the Ents being awesome and fucking shit up...
Doesn't matter if you're a hater of all things epic fantasy.
This shit too fire for even you to resist the burn.
