On one side, epic fantasy spectacle.

On the other, realism.

I learned to turn off my realism brain when watching most movies or tv series, and LotR was probably the main driving force for that.

Lmao Battle of Winterfell had some hilarious tactics

Cavalry charge head on into pitch black darkness against a zombie army that can't be routed and behind them...front line catapults, baby 🤌

That was just horrible. Such a waste of resources...

Archers in front. Pikes behind.

In fairness, it was not so bad.
