Don't get me started on the Elves at the Battle of Helm's Deep...
Come on Video part 2.... I hate that FFG is a few time zones behind me. Feels like everything comes so late.

A dirty mind is its own reward.
His character was done all wrong too

Not really any new info but some nice shots of some cards.

I'm shocked someone is surprised about that 
One of the members in my Earthdawn RPG group is such a 'hardcore' Tolkien fan who cannot find a single thing he liked about the movies. If you start mentioning the movies he'll start a tirade and won't stop ranting for hours - if you let him. He bitches and moans endlesslessly about minute details that 'haven't been done right' or represent 'changes from the novels'.
It's a good thing to remember that 'fan' is an abbreviation of 'fanatic'. Sometimes, it is impossible to reason with a fan, like pointing out that different media require a different treatment of the source material. I'm dreading the thought of having to watch a movie made by such a hardcore fan ... 
I've seen the very same behaviour on this forum. Didn't you notice the posts of people being worried about the introduction of characters from a different timeline or even worse of characters that have no mention in the novels? Some are even worried about using heroes in a game that never met in the novels or carrying items they never had in the novels, etc.
My advice in such cases would be: Listen to these fans and then either ignore them or do the opposite of what they propose if you want your licensed product to succeed. Because, much to the chagrin of the hardcore fans, they're a small minority. It's the masses of people not totally opposed to anything related to fantasy in the widest sense you'll want your product to appeal to.
Luckily Peter Jackson understood this, and I'm sure FFG understands this too.
This is a subject wich needs many hours to discuss and my English are very poor to explain.The only think i can say and one reason i am happy about the movies is that kids now know that the father of fantasy elves ,dwarfs,orcs, trolls etc is not Blizzard but Tolkien.

And i forgot to say that they left Thorin out of this game and they changed Legolas card.The old card had Legolas with blond hair and the new one with dark.That means FFG wants Tolkien fans happy and they try to be as accurate as they can.

That's good - becouse the game is specialy made for Tolkien fans not movie. I rather stick to the books and to the movie (those were good but the book are a lot better). Can't wait for the release of this game.

I'm with Toqtamish. I thought the movies got worse as they went along.
And while the films where clearly successful, that has nothing to do with their artistic quality. I mean look at Avatar and Titanic.
Edit: Still the first two video tutorials have been good, and I'm really looking forward to the game.

Actually it could also be a licensing issue: FFG would require a different license to publish a game based on material from the movies, i.e. they're not allowed to base the art on the movie characters. I think they'll strife for a different look just to be on the safe side.
although the font for this card game is suspiciously similar to the movie font...interesting that.

Okay, what about Faramir then ?
Or Aragorn falling off the rock, being presumed dead and then found by a horse who wasn't in the books either...
Seriously though, I'm glad they changed some bits- I think Return of the King had about 5 or 6 endings as it was, imagine if we'd had another 20 minutes for the Scouring of the Shire

I thought having no scouring was one of the worst ommisions. I mean after 9-12 hours of films not bothering with one of the main themes/points to story seemed a bit silly. To me at least. Also most of the issue with the 5-6 endings was the stupid fade outs kacjson kept using.

The 'Under the Shadow' card in the video has a card text, which is different from the 'Under the Shadow' card text in the English version of the rules, but similar to the card text in the French version of the rules. This seems a bit weird!

I was pleased they cut the Scouring of the Shire from the films. That part of the story is just naff and boring.
