Wasn’t that the whole point of the scene?
Yup. The Rohirrim see this Elf standing there bitching at this maybe-Gondorian, maybe the King of the West, maybe just another weird Ranger, and the two of them are obviously arguing in a foreign language like the Rohirrim don’t matter (which is how Men see Elves - stuck-up and isolationist, ignorant of the plight of Men), and then the Ranger says something that cuts straight to their own philosophy.
Good point actually. It’s been a while since I’ve watched these films and I remember this scene being emotional but I don’t think I thought about it too hard beyond that. But you’re right, he probably purposely says that in a language they’ll understand, to be on their level and an honest leader.
…yeah, but it’s still bad writing…
…<insert wrong opinion here>…
Seriously, nearly every single one of this guy’s comments are bookended with ellipses
He is switching it up from xXx<comment>xXx maybe? 😂
✨🌟💫 <using escape characters correctly> 💫🌟✨ would be another option.
…ad hominem takes your argument down…
-
It is not an argument, it is a joke comment, it is not trying to persuade anyone of anything. It is a lighthearted joke.

Making a comment about someone’s writing style isn’t ad-hominem, also the original comment didn’t make an argument at all, it just said that your opinion is wrong, which is a joke as an opinion literally can’t be factually incorrect by definition. Here is a pretty good resource for learning about ad-hominem in practice.
That being said, you also fell into the very common fallacy fallacy.
…ad hominem…
…it’e jusd a joke, man…

…ad hominem is not vaild…
…ad hominem, eh?..
Why do you say that? I disagree
…opinions are like assholes, everyone hase one and they all stink…
Some people know how to describe why they feel a certain way about something. Some people use a bidet.
We’re gonna die!?
“I thought these guys were gonna help us?”
Oh what are they gonna do? Skateboard down the steps and shoot a bunch of bad guys?I didn’t see no wheels on that shield, it was clearly snowboarding.
It’s called shieldsurfing noobs
I can’t wait to bomb some dodongos!
Well excuuuuuse me, princess!
Damn, did i miss Duck Tales?!?
They already knew they were going to die. Not dying that night was the twist ending.
It’s what we hear too!
Finnish people hear Finnish gibberish instead actually
I heard Mortal Kombat began as an old Nordic religious folk tune.
you, know, a Finnish Hymm.
Stolen joke, bad timing. But it’s funny.
Farmers. Stableboys. These are no soldiers.
Yeah I was honestly struggling to find the right word for this title lol. Soldiers definitely doesn’t feel right.
Soldiers definitely doesn’t feel right
Rohirrim, perhaps?
Between this and “people”, which I also like, this got more upvotes. So I’m gonna go ahead and edit the title with your suggestion.
Conscripts.
People.
Maybe “men of Rohan” would be more precise in this instance
Even more epic, honestly
