Discussion Main / GondorCallsForAid

Removed from Web Animation, due to the links being broken:

• The climax of this video game Michael Jackson tribute, where everyone joins together to stop a planet-sized Zangief from crashing into Earth.
  • And while you're at it, why don't you watch all of the AWESOME three-part Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (and many other classic video games) tribute right here in one page? Japaneses love Michael Jackson, indeed.

Given the laconic definition of this trope, its trope namer doesn't actually fit it. Rohan aren't "unlikely" allies of Gondor; they've been its closest allies for hundreds of years. (And in the books, there's absolutely no doubt about whether Rohan will help Gondor - the question is how quickly they can get there, and how many troops they'll be able to bring given their need to protect their own borders.)

So this trope needs a new name.

Teoden: Gondor calls for aid you say. Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell? Where was Gondor when Uruk-hai burned our villages? Where was Gondor when we pillaged Gondor? Oh...
