Gothmog

So here's some, our honorable mentions.

And, and just so you know, if you were a listener, you will notice a trend with at least the first few of these honorable mentions, the goblins, the goblins of Moria, more specifically, the Orakai of Isengard, the orcs of Mordor and their commander Gothmog, who for some reason, I feel like I know a lot of, especially women who are Lord of the Rings fans was like, oh my gosh, isn't Gotham such a cutie? It's like, sure.

Old Toomer face himself.

We listen and we don't judge.

We listen and we don't judge, especially about Gothmog.

But then we have the cave trolls of Moria, as Sean Bean so famously said.

They have a cave troll.

All these are kind of the foot soldier kind of characters.

Yep.

And number one, we have Army of Gothmog.

55 games, 13 wins, with a win rate of 23.6.

But guys, remember, the FAQ had just happened.

Less than a quarter of the games won.

Damn.

The funny thing is, once in a while, I'll actually hear an experienced player say, there's actually something to Army of Gothmog.

I hear whispers of it.

The Witch-King was dead, Theoden mortally wounded and Eowyn and Merry afflicted by the Black Breath.

Gothmog, the lieutenant of Minas Morgul, took charge of the Witch-King's army.

Eomer, enraged at his father's death, led the Rohirrim in a mad charge at the enemy forces.

This was undoubtedly heroic and effective in the short term, but perhaps not the most sensible tactic in that battle.

Sauron's forces still had a huge numerical advantage, and those Mumakil were starting to have an effect.

Even well-trained horses were panicked, and Gothmog, who, to be fair to him, seems to have reacted quickly and competently to his new command, ordered his troops to surround the Rohirrim, cutting them off from any help from Minas Tirith.

Not that most of the troops in Minas Tirith were in any shape to help anyway, with one exception we'll come onto in a moment.

This was when Denethor was getting all funeral pyre fixated, and Gandalf had to ride all through the city just to intervene and save Faramir's life while the bottom tier of the city was still in flames.

as there were with the two towers as well and some in the fellowship.

And the biggest thing that they added was Gothmog, who was the orc who sort of leads the fight against Minas Tirith.

So all of his stuff, like the dodging out of the way of the rock, all of that stuff was added with reshoots to sort of give the orc sort of a sub-boss to have a character in the movie, which I think is actually a good addition um for this for this movie for the most part gives him a little bit of like something somewhat enemy to sort of personalize that side of things for the yeah i feel like it but yeah i think it adds i think it adds something nice to the film um we should talk about more but of course the biggest thing that i have to talk about is at the academy awards uh return of the king won everything that it was nominated for which included Best visual effects, best sound mixing, best original song, best original score, best makeup, best film editing, best costume design, best art direction, best adapted screenplay, best director, and best picture.

Meaning it got 12 wins and shares currently, at least as far as I could tell.

I almost thought that as I was taking my notes because I was like, oh, the word that we don't hear.

What's his name? This is the orc guy.

Gothmog.

The word that we don't
