Rivet Counters
Huin, I have no idea what you refer to when you say "an AT-AT sized Oliphaunt."
Pretty sure the Mariners of Umbar figured it out as they 'long-prepared' their fleet. ... and Will, seriously? You expect absolute realism in a mythical world? Unbelievable.   Boromir88, so far, I have yet to see exactly where it hasn't been faithful to any source material, which I have quoted in part. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

(By some very quick maths - the Romans had very large ships which could carry 800-ton obelisks. Using the approximation that any animal is roughly the density of water, and that 1 m3 of water = 1 ton, I estimate from this image that a Jackson Mumak is about 10m long and 6m around the body, so about 300-400 tons. So you could just about do it - but I wouldn't want to take it onto rough seas!) hS

The War of the Rohirrim
I'm still looking forward to it as I am Rings of Power. Peter Jackson cleared the way for making whatever changes one wishes in visual adaptations. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm actually more interested in this story than the Rings of Power.
https://www.theonering.net/torwp/202...heonering-net/ Could be good diving into Helm's decisions, and the grievances the Dunlendings had.
