  • It is not an argument, it is a joke comment, it is not trying to persuade anyone of anything. It is a lighthearted joke.

  • Making a comment about someoneā€™s writing style isnā€™t ad-hominem, also the original comment didnā€™t make an argument at all, it just said that your opinion is wrong, which is a joke as an opinion literally canā€™t be factually incorrect by definition. Here is a pretty good resource for learning about ad-hominem in practice.

    • That being said, you also fell into the very common fallacy fallacy.

    Yup. The Rohirrim see this Elf standing there bitching at this maybe-Gondorian, maybe the King of the West, maybe just another weird Ranger, and the two of them are obviously arguing in a foreign language like the Rohirrim don't matter (which is how Men see Elves - stuck-up and isolationist, ignorant of the plight of Men), and then the Ranger says something that cuts straight to their own philosophy.

    Good point actually. Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve watched these films and I remember this scene being emotional but I donā€™t think I thought about it too hard beyond that. But youā€™re right, he probably purposely says that in a language theyā€™ll understand, to be on their level and an honest leader.
