Deleted the following Natter that violated Example Indentation from the Peter Jackson Films section.
- Additionally, one of the most common jokes about Gandalf's moment is this: He's not actually trying to pull a Heroic Sacrifice or trying to Taking You with Me on Balrog. I mean, come on, he almost died and eventually returned as Gandalf the White, the most Badass Grandpa of fictional works? Yes, he actually already knew that he WILL win against Balrog, regardless Frodo and company are there to aid him or not. So why did he order his companions to escape while he's fighting Balrog? It's because, by defeating Balrog alone, he will get TONS of Experience Points only for himself, so he can Level Up from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White. If the Frodo and company were there, then it means the Experience Points would've been shared with them as well so Gandalf with get less points than he wanted. Yes, Gandalf is really a Magnificent Bastard. And anyway, this joke is usually only popular among roleplay gamers.
- It's not really that bad, Gandalf in the movie notes that "lesser men" ruled, implying Gondor was ruled by incompetent and immature rulers, rather than being racist.
Really? On Imbd ROTK has the highest score of the trilogy (albeit slightly). I suspect an Opinion Myopia.
