Nah fuck this army I'm gonna go recruit some immortal ghost soldiers instead. Do whatever you want with these I'm out.
That... That right there made me hate the entire trilogy.. So we're slowly overwhelmed, we're slowly losing and being killed and the situation is so dire and... Oh there is the immortal deux ex machina guys just trampling over the enemy killing them all in a minute aaaaand we're done!
It was so anti climactic
Agreed, I had the same thoughts with Oppenheimer. They just invent a big scary bomb and that ends the war? What an anti-climatic ending.
Kinda like the war. Island hoping through the Pacific theater for ages, then they just drop two extre spicy bombs and the whole deal is done
For their defense they never had something that spicy
That’s like whipping out a Carolina Reaper when you’re only used to Jalepeños…
Ohhh, I'm about to compete in the Australian chilli eating championship.
We're going well above Reapers.
Tomorrow is going to really suck for my body
What is above Reapers? Pure capsaicin? Resiniferatoxin?
Reapers pull in around 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 SHU Then there is Pepper X which is 2,693,000 SHU.
After that extracts which range all the way up to pure capsaicin which is 16,000,000 SHU.
Nothing can be hotter then that. People claim hotter by saying you can stack two 10m extracts etc but that's just volume not technically hotter.
...
Update I pulled out 4th my stomach couldn't handle it. Got the biggest cramps so I'm lying on my bed suffering at the moment waiting for the cramps to pass

Wishing you a smooth recovery!
It would be more like, they invented the atomic bomb, use it to take Iwo Jima and then the United States goes back to sulking and wondering how the hell they're going to take the home islands.
In lotr they use the undead to win the battle of pellenor fields but they don't use it to win the war. It's a legitimate plot hole.
To be fair the entire army itself was just a distraction so that frodo could destroy the ring. The ghosts weren't what caused them to win, they just prevented the death of the bait.
Right but, why bother with smoke and mirrors when you have an immortal unbeatable army in the first place.
Even in the book its not really explained why the oathbreakers only help out for one fight; the only difference is in the books they never actually go to Minas Tirith they just help against the corsairs.
Presumably Sauron could've destroyed the ghosts, he was just a little distracted at that time frame, or not yet able or willing to face them directly. Like the Eagles, they can't really tackle the Sauron problem, so aren't as much of a solve as they appear.
Also the reason they only fight in the final battle I think is because that is the only battle they're bound to fight in, I'm not even sure you could use them to fight any other battle than against Sauron's armies.
