does the scale of Minas Tirith piss anyone else off? It looks like a doll house. Like someone just plopped it down beside the side of a mountain.

>what is perspective
>Here is your billion dollar show
Bravo, bezos
he's right though. gandalf is 100 feet away
where are you getting that information?
The Age of Man has long passed. Their splendours are shadows of an echo from a far greater time. It looks out of place because it is out of place- the Earth has reclaimed the works of men.
look at it. he literally looks like he can gallop towards it in 15 secs and climb it
It's not the size of Minas Tirith, it's the complete lack of infrastructure surrounding it
The best the shot we actually got of the miniature was actually early on in Fellowship.
Feels bad man
Why didn't he just go with the book descriptions?
Its glorious
>farms outside of the gigantic keep
>at the fucking doorstep to mordor
are you retarded
The funniest thing about this is effects artists fifteen, twenty years later still haven't learned or advanced the technology for this kind of establishing shot. Game of Thrones made this mistake on a dozen occasions, notably with King's Landing, but not exclusively.
also I think the terrain elevation makes it look closer than it is..
>top of hill reaches middle of wall
>can see the plains leading towards the city to the right
???
Forget what they eat, who in the right mind would live in a place where you have to climb a literal mountain worth of stairs every fucking day, just to go to point a to point b?
fair enough
>enormous fucking megastructure with a gorillion people in it
>no food anywhere remotely nearby
Are you?
bruh, sure he isnt 100feet away but he is still close enough that the entire city wouldn't look smaller than the average light house
>Amazon is trying to convince us that Minas Tirith wasn't cool as fuck now
How low can you get? Why this compulse to destroy everything that's good and beautiful? What can anons do against this reckless hate?
People who want to live on a mountain fortress I guess
there.
it was the 90s/00s, this was the best they could do
I must defend old thing I liked when I was a kid. Every criticism of old thing must be from corporate shills.
The Battle of Pelennor Fields.
Fields.
What is a field?
Tolkien explicitly described the farms and small villages surrounding Minas Tirith, because at the end of the day it's a fortress and has to be self-sufficient to some degree. These details were omitted from the films for simplicity's sake.
Do you have a problem with little people? They deserve their own cities
I know this is an amazon shill thread but I agree, OP. At least they didn't raceswap in the movies, unlike ROP
>Easier to defend
>Harder to conquer
>Safe and looks cool
>Gives you buff legs
Literally no downsides
