The Battle of Helm's Deep is full of very obvious errors. There is an awesome Dutch historian, Roel Konijnendijk, who trashes movies for fun that talks about it:

My favourite one is when they are shouting orders to eachother. There is no way for the Elven archers to hear Aragorn's commands, or for Aragorn to hear Theoden's fallback order.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=xPGdOXstSyk

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Um, piped stopped working for me on all instances a few days ago, anybody else noticed this?

Yep. Same with apps like LibreTube, YouTube broke something (Diese Fotzen)

Something to do with API changes on YouTube I believe. For whatever reason, https://piped.mha.fi/ still works.

I thought Legolas had a superior hearing, didnt he ? If yes, the elves could have heard Aragorn.
