and overexaggeration of the greyness. by gzt (2.00 / 0) #13 Mon May 12, 2008 at 04:58:24 PM EST
Here's the biggest, darkest, muddiest castle ever. Here's the biggest, darkest, muddiest cave city ever. Here's the biggest, darkest, muddiest army ever fighting the biggest, darkest, muddiest battle ever (until the next army and the next battle, those are bigger)...

I mean, come on. I realize they're fighting for the future of all existence and what-have-you, but do they always have to muster 50,000 orcs (the biggest, darkest, muddiest creatures ever)?

I didn't so much mind them always mustering 50,000 orcs and having them all dark and muddy.  What bothered me is the books always made me think there'd be this huge mass of dark forboding fighting against this rising sea of clashing colors from all the armies coming together to fight against them.  Instead, we got the orcs, and then huge masses of very, very muted colors that made them look like they were all the same, just with slightly different patterns of grey.
