Middle Earth vs Modern Military

Watching LOTR again got me to thinking how much better it'd be for them if they had cars or planes lol

Anyways it also got me thinking how all fighters in Middle Earth would do against lets say the US Military circa 2018, im of the opinion that our Earths tech would be more than enough for Middle Earths magic, what say all of you?

And if you all think its too much in the favour of modern military then replace that with military circa WW2.

Modern military; in my mind it would be quality vs extreme and potent quantity.

I feel like the Army of the Dead might present a few problems for the military.

Do the Riders of Rohan even have stirrups by that point?

Lulz, they get stomped.

Heck. Even a Decent Ball and Musket and Cannon Style Army could take them out.

Military might to Military, yes. But Middle Earth is far more than that. Their magic would make this a stomp in their favors actually. Especially when you start heading into the direction of mind control.

Just blow up Aragorn with a drone strike and they will probably bugger off on their own. Their only loyalty was to him IIRC.

What kind of mind control was shown in the movies?

The Ring was the best one, with Sauromon controlling the King before he was freed by Gandalf the White.

Soooo the Modern day military which has seen all 6 LotR/Hobbit films will...find the 9 Rings of Men, give them to their leaders and let them corrupt them until Sauron can take them over?

Killing Aragorn would probably be the worst thing they could do. Iirc only someone from his bloodline could release them from their vow and let them move on to the afterlife. It would be akin to killing will turner before getting his blood in the first pirates movie IMO.

I don't think their loyalties would factor into a forum fight. I figure we would treat them like any other character where they're transported to the battle field and "forced" to fight for the side we place them on. Whether they're friend or foe, hero or villain, they still have to fight for their side to the best of their abilities.

Not sure why this thread was made. I'll say this though, Modern Military would not fair anywhere near as well against Morgoth of the First Age. But since this is movie stuff then yes, Modern Military wins. Stupid ass spite thread tbh.

Morgoth was a pussy. Better than Sauron but a pussy nevertheless.
