Your rules contradict your statements DSZ. Jackson is the director of the film. That means that according to the movie there are 200k orcs the most! Now, i have given you movie evidence. I have given you a number which wasn't only stated by the director but which is also well approved on the LoTR community. Most if not ALL sites will back up my claim.
Wrong. I said book canon takes presedence. But even if I refered to pure movies, Jackson's statement covers one host of orcs. Sauron had 2 hosts of orcs, plus 5 other armies in total. You cannot be that disingenuous witht he words for one particular scene dude. Now, accept this and move on. I'm not claiming the orcs number in the millions/

Furthermore, in the movie we are told that Isildur's army is 10K! 10!!!! Sauron told Saruman to build a MIGHTY army and he made 10!! I don't see why me saying 200K should be incorrect.
Again, you are wrong. Sauruman specifically says "Tens of thousands" as in PLURAL, as in 20K or more. You really need to hear the words better.

So, what we have here is a battle of which one weights more. You are using book speculations while am using movie facts. I am using evidence. Which one weights more? Book speculation or Movie evidence? Obviously the evidence. Even more, you stated that both movies and books were canon material. In this case the movie's numbers are canon.
Wieighs more? Book canon is the primary source. Both are admissable, but if there is conflict of information then the books take precedent as they are the senior canon. The books are the highest source after all, and this is true for both franchises. martin's books, and tolkien's books must be regarded more highly than the movies and shows.

The Nazgul are ghosts to. I never said fire would kill them. But they would withdraw. Fire woulld withdraw your dead. And as i said before. The LoTR Army of the dead will be limitted. Simply because they can't take the Whole Westerosi Army on themselves. In the movies they helped Aragon defeat some of Sauron's troops. Isn't like Aragon used them to win the war, or made them march against Mordor defeating all the Orcs there. I won't expect the Army of the dead killing more than 50K of Westerosi troops before vanishing.
The Nazgul are a different kind of undead though. Not all undead are the same. You should know that.
Angmar's ghostly Legions are just as effective as the dead of Dunharrow when mustered.
Like I said before, we arn't using plot contrivances here. And this isn't a boardgame. Aragorn let them go because he made a promise, and that was because plot demanded it. We arn't constrained by acts of PIS (Plot Induced Stupidity).

Again no proof that the White Walkers can be killed using Ghosts. Nor the Weighs.
No proof they can't be either, and since once again you made the positive claim, you provide the positive evidence.

They are spectres. They have no physical weapons. They can't harm the flesh. There is no evidence of that, else show me. They are ghosts. They aren't living dead.
They can't harm the..... What?! The literal thousands of skulls that dogpiled Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli in the city of the dead outright proves you wrong!
Please do not spout such utter lunacy!

Again am just saying what the Shows and the Books have said. White Walkers have been shown to be vulnerable to Valyrian and Dragonglass.
No, you are regurgitating what fallible characters in universe know works. Have they tried magic? no. Have they tried crushing them with catapult shots? No, have they tried ANYTHING bar swinging standard metal weapons at them? NOPE! The Walkers defenses have not been tested in any other fashion at all EVER. Assuming that they ARE invulnerable without testing it is garbage logic, and you should feel ashamed for trying to pass that off as any reasonable form of evidence FOR something. Allow me to teach you a principal of debating Josh - The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. As in do not assume it is so if you cannot show it to be so. We can assume that Orcish weapons, besides enchanted ones, would indeed shatter. We can assume Gondorian weapons, besides enchanted ones, will shatter. We can assume even the finely crafted Dwarven and Elvish weapons, besides enchanted ones, will shatter. We cannot assume innately magical weapons will shatter however, because we know magic F**ks the Walker's shit all over the place. Valyrian Steel's construction with fire magic proves it, as does the wights shattering once they enter the 3 Eyed Raven's Cave. We assume that lightbringer, being an innately magical weapon worked the same as well, despite not being made of Valyrian Steel.

I would expect the major characters to be able to kill the White Walkers. Like Aragon, or Gandalf. But beside the major characters, the White Walkers are immune to anything.
You'd need to define major characters. Almost all uniques or rares are innately magical beasts of combatants. Aragorn and Gandalf are only but two/ LOTR has many, many MANY heroes who operated even just during the time of the War of the Ring.

I wouldn't expect an Orc Sword to resist an Ice spear. Those will shatter easily.
As I mentioned above. The Walkers Ice blades would probably work all the way to Elvish or Enchanted weapons, but there are a LOT of those.
