when did pippen kill ...anything?

with his singing?

or his constant bickering for food and weed?

orrr are we attributing Gandalf the Grey's fall with durins bane due to pippen shoving the armor down the well?

That is exactly what we are doing :)

He kills a goddamn troll in the battle outside the Black Gate!

But yes the meme is definitely referring to Moria

The Chief troll too.

The books are so good in comparison.

I really like some the changes the films made to Pippin's story. Successfully tricking Treebeard into seeing the true scale of what Saruman had done is in keeping with his character from earlier in the story, but still a big step for him to take in terms of thinking things through and also a huge contribution to the overall battle. Sneaking up to light the beacons of Gondor is cool too, and reflects Bilbo in the Hobbit to a degree

ah, I haven't read LOTR in an age, so I hadn't thought of that.

Just re-read it and the hobbit, still good stuff.
