We’re looking at it from two completely different lens’ - RoP is by no means literally medieval, but that battle felt to me what I would describe as volatile in a medieval sense. I thought it was great honestly. They didn’t mess about. From my perspective, It felt more realistic than other cinematic interpretations of what would happen in a such a situation. Heads would roll, innocents would be slayed. Needless violence is a hallmark of earlier times in our own world history, and I think they did a good job of reflecting that with that particular episode.
On the lore side of things I can see why some would become annoyed at RoP straying from the original Tolkien path. I feel that way about things like Brigerton straying too far from the historical accuracy of the regency time period…but don’t get me started on that!
