What is your irrational peeve about the movies
Does anyone else get irrationally annoyed about something in the films?
There are a lot of valid criticisms that can be leveled for canon purposes etc, but rather than go into those, are there any scenes or moments in the films which just irritate you for small or irrational reasons?
If so, post them so we can share the peeve/laugh 🤣.
For me it's the scene on Orthanc where Saruman is calling the storm down.
Yes, there are several valid canon reasons for disliking the scene (not to mention removing my guy Caradhras from the narrative 🤣), but my irrational peeve here is at how close Isengard and Caradhras are portrayed to be.
The shot shows Saruman, standing on the top of Orthanc, seemingly able to see the mountain the Fellowship are crossing as he calls the storm down onto it.
The problem is that Orthanc is in Isengard, at the southern tip of the Misty Mountains. The mountains shown in the shot (visible from Isengard) are the ones near Fangorn Forest, not Caradhras. Based on the maps in the books, the Mountains of Moria (Celebdil, Fanuidhol and Caradhras) are about 200 miles from Isengard as the crow flies - but that's 200 miles of mountain range. There's simply no way Saruman could have seen Caradhras from there.
It doesn't really matter for the story, for the movie or anything like that, but it just annoys me.
What are yours?
