Why LOTR Sucks: The Avalanche Of Skulls

There are a lot of things wrong with the scene where Aragorn and his companions walk the paths of the dead. The whole conversation is jilted and preposterous. Gimli is reduced to a quivering coward. The Dead prove to be just as big of dicks as if they were alive.

But nothing is as bad as the randomly inserted avalanche of skulls. Someone even made a webcomic about the absurdity.

I suppose Peter Jackson thought he was adding drama.
