Hooray for Russel! I'd join the Fellowship of the Eyeball.

Fantastic. Funniest one in a while. I loved the 'because they were creepy' bit.
In all fairness, the Black Riders are kinda creepy ... is that racist?

Good video. I chuckle at the bit at the end (I used to love Kinder Suprise).

As far as I've been able to tell, the horses aren't actually real. They're actually projections of the riders themselves, which is extra weird.

 

[Don Reba]

The book actually mentions that Nazgul got their horses from Rohan.

I don't recall the Rohan riders riding creepy doom horses:O

Those might have been a limited edition.

Actually, pretty sure the books explain somewhere (like it does every other little detail nobody cares about) where the Nazgul get their horses.

 

[Sleepingzombie]

cue fan-attack soon. But I will say as much that the book says where they get the horses:

Dudes of Sauron steal Rohan´s horses and make em´ evil.

Basicly they breed them especially for Mordor. Think of it like the US selling shit for Nazi Germany. Once they go to war they stop that shit fast but until then, why not, there is a profit to be made.

Now presenting the Mordor Warhorse Limited Edition, complete with a new armor kit, custom red eyes, and stylish black leather saddle.

Only by Mordor. Ride on, terror. Ride on Mordor

Russell's a pretty convincing pitchman.

I'm pretty sure they mention in the books that they are real horses. But the horses must be trained to get used to the riders, as animals will naturally fear them.

I don't remember what country it was, but they took/stole their best black horses regularly.

EDIT: It was Rohan. Later in the books they got the Fell beasts, the flying mounts. Since they were mentioned to be 'ancient creatures', I always, reading the books, imagined them to be Pterosaurs.

I seem to recall it was mentioned that they 'stole their finest horses, but only ones that were black', but as I can't remember where it was mentioned in the books, maybe some traders sold them.

 

[teebeeohh]

i am still laughing because i imagine Sauron with a little yellow plastic ring(fixed with duct tape because it didn't expand properly) on his finger wondering what went wrong.
thank you for that

Here are three unknown people. You should care about them, because you will be playing them. The end.

 

[Chaos42]

you do realize most people don't know what kinder eggs/surprise are? US food laws prevent toys from being place inside of food stuffs


Seriously though this cut scene was really dry -its like watching a depressing argument were everyone is arguing that they agree with each other

 

[leviadragon99]

Huh... is anyone else reminded of slightly-less-terrible-than-average fanfiction in that it tends to write in events happening around an existing story?

Still, better than rewriting the core story to fit them in, just a little retconning of stuff in around the edges...

So a dwarf, an elf, and a human walk into a bar.....the human says ow, the elf dodges it, and the dwarf walks under it.
