The Palantir got to him. Spent all his time reading enemy comms about how he was doomed so he quit trying.

Literally that.

Theoden had Grima poisoning him with bad counsel. It took Gandalf leading him to the window and telling him that while he's in danger, his cause is not lost and he can win. As Gandalf told him, he has no counsel he could offer if he despaired. Theoden chose to not be a Doomer. So he ditched the bad adviser and all his troubles went away.

The Steward of Gondor was in full despair. Gandalf had to smack him and take control.

Side note: Palantir is a great stock purchase, PLTR is the ticker. Founded by pro-Trump genius Peter Thiel.

Exactly right! Denethor only looked at the bad and not to what he could do.

Okay, but saying "Trust the plan" is just as bad as the doomers. Saying "We have to take it into our own hands" isn't doomering, it's the exact opposite of being a doomer.

Theoden was a doomer too. The difference is he chose to fight despite believing that he would lose and die.

He did this because refused to be cowed and because it was the right thing to do. Because of this he turned out to be of pivotal importance for goods triumph over evil.

After Gandalf talked to him he stopped being a Doomer. It likely was a result of his ring. The ring of power he held could give men courage. That hopium really pepped him up.

I wouldn't exactly say that, yes he got a good dose of hopium, but;

He doomed pretty hard when Helms Deep was breached, but he rode out and fought anyway.

He doomed pretty hard when he couldn't muster as many troops as he had hoped, but he marched to Gondor anyway.

He doomed pretty hard before the battle of the Pelennor fields, but he charged anyway.

He got good hopium from Gandalf, but even when he thought he couldn't he couldn't win he still fought as good as he could.

The difference is how the writer of this fiction decided to weave the story. Fiction is fiction, it is not reality.

Like all other stories it can be seen as suffering from survivors bias.

The future is unknowable, meaning even if it seems unwinnable when you stand up and resist, then you can never know if events will happen that turn the tide in your favor.

Now if only game companies would realise that this exact type of thing is what fantasy is really about, maybe their games would suck less. It's incredible that all these leftist-run game studios can walk through the story so many times and never catch or convey the real purpose.
That isn't ignorance, that's true retardation.

And don't be a Custer who believes in things that aren't really true. It's the surest way there is to lead yourself into an ambush.

edxzxz 4 points ago +4 / -0

Custer's problem was he decided that the Gatling Guns were too heavy and hard to transport to bother bringing them along, and that he wouldn't need them anyway. So I say the surest way to avoid an ambush is to always bring a couple Gatling Guns along with you, just in case.
