Shadow of war

>lore rape the game
This is shelob. The spider descended from Ungoliant. Now a fucking femme fatale shape shifter. Fuck this game and this series.

Nobody cares, dork.

Why didn't she just seduce the hobbits?

I want to fuck Shelob.

But yeah, it's fucking retarded.

>buys on sale for $5 two years later

thats dumb

go read a book nerd lmao

>muh lore
Nobody cares fuccboi, monster girls are a fine addition to any game

Finally taking a page from eastern devs.
MAKE EVERYTHING A CUTE GIRL!
At least they're halfway there.

LEAVE

>put a game on the "muh lore" unniverse
>complain when people don't like the lore rape
Oh gee

Ungoliant chose to take the form of a spider. It's actually a thing. It's dubious but there.

>giving a shit about lotr

F.A.G

I don't really care.
You can't touch Tolkien, you can only clone the work and rape the clone.

it is never implied that Shelob is anything near as powerful as Ungoliant or with the same abilities. She's a giant spider.

>Concerned about lore
>In a game about the totally not oc that created the one ring, raised an army and fought sauron head on, died, and is now back as some kind of revenge ghost
Fuck off, retard

Lorefags are fags for a reason. They just can't keep their mouth shut, and canon is canon. "Don't mess with it. Don't put any ideas into it. LEAVE IT ALONE REEE." That's how you weird fuckers are. It's like you shits can't see that Revenge of the Sith is as good as Empire Strikes Back. And the same with this game, where the established lore cannot be disturbed. Even though, the idea of this is quite good, since it gives Shelob much more character. You can relate to its problems now. But of course, the lorefags deem it not to be, so reeeing there shall be.

But can you fuck it

I complained about that as well when the first one came out. This is even worse

Do you cry about Star Wars Pod Racer or LEGO Avengers or whatever being noncanon too? It's a fucking video game, who gives a shit about the "lore" implications?

Not sure why you care anymore when the first game already fucked with the lore.

The star wars comparison is bullshit. Lucas came up with both. This is different because they are fucking Tolkiens works, not their own

>Make everything a cute girl
>Cute troll lolis
>Cute orc lolis
>One of the nazgul turns out to be 2 lolis standing on top of eachother
>Sauron's true form is a loli
>Morgoth was a loli
>Eru Iluvatar is a loli as well

Shapeshifting and illusion are tricks. Of course Shelob is nowhere near as powerful. Ungoliant was a monster that almost chomped Morgoth.

Technically, Ungoliant and therefore Shelob are things alien to the creation of the world. They're elder horror level fuckery. Origins left vague.

>It's like you shits can't see that Revenge of the Sith is as good as Empire Strikes Back

This is clearly an elf posting.

Tolkien himself had a rather dim view of "canon" and constantly rewrote everything. In addition, he wrote that he wished for Lord of the Rings to be a living body of work that could be added to by other artists.

You can argue about what's "worthy" art all you want, but to dismiss everything out of hand because of a dogmatic view of LotR lore is the very opposite of the spirit of the work.

So, yes, monomaniac lorefags are assholes.

If the first one bothered you so much, why even take the time to get mad at the second one? Are you that desperate for something to get angry about?

don't so much, I'm just in awe that they could fuck it even worse.

I was at the sdcc panel, they said she took that form to seduce Talion and gain his trust, doubt this explanation helps though.

>Ungoliant chose to take the form of a spider

And never, ever changed it. Seems doubtful that her daughter would posses the abiity to change shape at will.

You obviously do though, since you can't seem to stop whinning about "lore". The games are shit, but you don't have to find out everything about them so you can feel offended. Tell me, do you read every LOTR fanfic in order to judge wether Frodo sucking futa elf cock can fit in with Tolkiens lore?

She's pretty hot, but fucking Christ, that is the dumbest shit ever. Her actual form looks like ass too.
>chooses
That's never really stated. It could be that a spider is how she's perceived by other beings.

It's an interpretation of lore you nimrod, not a 1 for 1 history of middle earth class.

How is the lore being raped?

>since it gives Shelob much more character
Shelob doesn't have a character. It's a primordial force that exists only to consume. It's not supposed to be relatable, it's supposed to be terrifying.
>It's like you shits can't see that Revenge of the Sith is as good as Empire Strikes Back
lmao

>That's never really stated. It could be that a spider is how she's perceived by other beings.
True.

... is she wearing makeup in that pic?

It is certainly not pulled out of the ass and entirely unreal. It could be that she can.

>One of the nazgul turns out to be 2 lolis standing on top of eachother

That would be great and you know it.

Also, holy shit. I just realized where they're going with this.

Ungoliant raped Morgoth. That's where this is going. Shelob is Morgoth's rape child.

Both games shit on lore.
It's annoying, but just ignore it and focus on the game itself. I just want to rek with my orc army.

The spiders of Mirkwood are younger and much tinier, so would they shapeshift into lolis?

This is now my headcanon

But then how did she produce web?

>slapstick humor when not standing on each others shoulders
>completely competent when they are

Well yeah, the first game was like that too. And it's not only about the lore, it's also the "spirit of Tolkien" Mr.Btongue explained it in GoT video

What do spiders sometimes do to their mates, user?

>Both games shit on lore.
That's why shadow of mordor was such a GREAT game and Shadow of war will be too.
Lore fags should hang themselves

Maybe unlike Tolkien the devs realised that talking giant spiders look fucking retarded

Careful or you'll catch yourself a job

Then Melkor's Balrogs run a train on Ungoliant, causing her to walk funny for the next few thousand years.

I'm probably biased but I never like Celebrimbor in shadow of mordor, so annoying and patronizing, I didn't like the animations implying that I wasn't good.

So I like this tarantula cunt and how she wants to remove Celebrimbor.

>everybody is a loli now

Hey, it worked for Mazinger.

These.
I appreciate these users.

HOLY SHIT
WEB IS GROOL
WEB IS FUCKING GROOL

It has zero precedent.

There's nothing that states that Gandalf can't do a kamehameha. So I guess it's a totally plausible possibility that he could, right? If Shelob did have this ability, this wouldn't be the first time it would have come up. If she could shapeshift, she could very easily have tricked Sam and Frodo.

Moreover, this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Shelob/Ungoliant are supposed to be. Shelob wouldn't be plotting to overthrow Sauron, she exists only to consume shit.

Is this an analogy to Talion taking a red-pill?
Seeing the truth that the civilization of man is being destroyed and Celebrimbor telling him just to ignore it "because all flesh dies".
Then asks for another vision and sees there are people benefiting from the suffering and fighting.

Doesn't it make sense for godlike beings to be girls? If I'm a powerful deity, the fuck would I want to appear as a fucking old man? I'd be a cute loli (male) all the time

why are you guys buttmad?

This in no way invalidates the books. Its a spinoff based of the LOTR world.

Im a fucking LOTR nerd and even I am not bitching about this.

>I'd be a cute loli (male)

Shota is the word you seek.

She said what he meant and he meant what she said.

Oh fuck off...
It's depressing how right I think you are.

>lotr
>lore

come on. it's baby first fantasy, shallow as it gets
they can do whatever they want with it.

Is that just who you think it looks like or is there something we're missing?

>Maybe she is an ally? Who can know? The misterious Shelob, how shady.
It's one of the few being wrote by Tolkien that is inherently evil.
Are you fucking kidding me.

Some people have respect for artists and the integrity of their work, and don't enjoy seeing their work cynically exploited by greedy developers who showcase a terrible misunderstanding and lack of respect for the setting, characters and themes that Tolkein created.

Sorry we're not all autistic sociopaths who can't understand why anyone would be upset over lazy cashgrabs that take the name solely for its brand recognition, then proceed to piss on it and drag it through the mud.

This is really fucking dumb, and I say this as a person who is not an expert on LotR lore.
But I don't care. I'm fucking diamonds over here, man.

That's barely passable. I'm double diamonds now.

0/10

Seriously, apply yourself.

I don't even care any more. That's so retarded and bizarre that it's great.

Republicans according to the media are evil.
Who's to say this game isn't giving the perspective that she's actually good.

that's what cultists and religious fanatics usually say.

>tfw Christopher tolkien will die in the next few years.
>tfw he said that he was done collating his father's notes because he was 93.
>you will live to see the passing of an age.

>LotR lore
Who cares you people are on the same level as early 2000 weebs

Lore ruins good games anyway.

>if you aren't desecrating someone's work over the altar of shekels you are autistic.

This game shits all over tolkien's work in a way that would make a scat fetishist sick.

because Tolkien wrote in black and white manner
everything is set in stone, lotr is the most basic fairytail overblown into political scenery of the time

Republicans want to take away people's healthcare. Its pretty evil mate.

>People are unironically hyped for more lore rape

>HURRRR EVIL MEGA GODS CREATED LESSER GODS AND MORE THINGS AND 20 ZILLION RACES AND MAGICAL SHIT HAPPENED AND THEN EVIL UBERLORD OF DEATH AND PAIN CAME OUT BUT A TINY MANLET DEFEATED HIM WITH POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
>THIS IS ALL JUST ME COPING WITH TWO WORLD WARS BTW

>Christopher Tolkien
Imagine being the son of someone so famous your entire life revolves around collating his spare notes while no one gives a shit about your existence. It's like living in someone's shadow to an unimaginable degree.

>don't care about lore
>will enjoy the game
Feels good.

>basic fairytale.
Didn't know there was a fairytale where the main characters are tiny hobbits, who fail in their quest and a dumbass hobbit trips and falls, thus saving the world.

Please tell me you are trolling.

I dunno. I think Illuvatar sinking the fucking continent and keeping the fate of men unknown was pretty grey-going-black. Always felt sympathy for Sauron regarding that. Dude deserved his shot at the title.

>dad leaves him as the executor of his estate.
>he spends years collating notes, giving us things like the tale of beren of luthien, hurin's children and silmarillion
>some WB shill on an anonymous british bean baking symposium shits on him.

Don't care, I want to fuck that spider/be fucked and killed by that spider

Is this game finally going to reveal what's Aragorn's tax policy?

[kinslaying intensifies]

he probably thinks GURM is a good writer too.

Because in the past old people were thought of as wise and knowledgeable? It's not that weird people, or Tolkien, imagined deities as old men.
Tolkien especially, as he was a Christian, and Eru was written with the Father of mind, and fathers tend to be older men.

Yeah, I never got that. She almost chomped one the most powerful Valars, but a bunch of rag-tag balrogs chased her off.

heard of ivan the fool?
goofy character that kills immortal eternal being with a needle? top of my eead example
goofy character that seemingly by accident saves the world, village, bride is very common theme
you need to study more.

No, you fucking idiot, Jesus fucking Christ. It's not like Elrond and Gandalf just said she's a poopyface and she can't be trusted or some shit.

Ungoliant is a fucking abomination that came from outside creation, and exists only to consume. She literally consumes the light of creation, Laurelin and Telperion. There wasn't a Sun or a Moon at this point, those were created from fruit of the trees after their destruction. After he and Ungoliant destroy the trees that were the light source of the entire world, Melkor makes off with the Silmarils, which were made to contain the light of the trees, and are now the sole remaining sources of that light. Guess what Ungoliant's fat ass does? She attacks Melkor and tries to eat those too. Shelob is Ungoliant's spawn, and is exactly the same, just nowhere near as powerful. They don't have any desire or intention other than to consume. There's nothing about them to be misunderstood.

That doesn't make any sense.

>village bride
k.

Did ivan have a magical artefact that was slowly eating away at his soul and corrupting him? Did ivan save the world when an already corrupted soul that he had mercy on tried to take the needle from him, then fall over and shove the needle into the immortal eternal thus killing him?

Did ivan never find comfort in the world of the living and had to go with the angels to paradise while the world around it lost its magic and spark?

If I could feel this way about Ghostbusters I might've enjoyed the movie 2% more

>sam, simple farmer from the shire fights off a piece of the eternal darkness with the light of the silmaril and a sword from gondolin.

SHEEIT, tis pottery

Is that Mila Jovowovvitch?

>we will never get another good game set in lore like The Return of the King
>there will never be a game that sets off from the the movies while keeping the lore, like The Third Age
>no game set in the First of Second age
>tfw no industrial age Numenor
>tfw Tolkien died and no more LOTR

Don't you have a book you should be writing, you fat fuck?
