    Agreed, I had the same thoughts with Oppenheimer. They just invent a big scary bomb and that ends the war? What an anti-climatic ending.

      It would be more like, they invented the atomic bomb, use it to take Iwo Jima and then the United States goes back to sulking and wondering how the hell they’re going to take the home islands.

      In lotr they use the undead to win the battle of pellenor fields but they don’t use it to win the war. It’s a legitimate plot hole.

        It’s not a plot hole. The oathbreakers had satisfied their oaths and were owed peaceful rest. If Aragorn had kept them around after they had fulfilled their end of the bargain, then he would have been breaking an oath, and the fact that he doesn’t even though it seems like the logical thing to do is key to Aragorn’s goodness as a character and worthiness to be king.

      Kinda like the war. Island hoping through the Pacific theater for ages, then they just drop two extre spicy bombs and the whole deal is done

          That’s like whipping out a Carolina Reaper when you’re only used to Jalepeños…

            Ohhh, I’m about to compete in the Australian chilli eating championship.

            We’re going well above Reapers.

            Tomorrow is going to really suck for my body

                Reapers pull in around 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 SHU Then there is Pepper X which is 2,693,000 SHU.

                After that extracts which range all the way up to pure capsaicin which is 16,000,000 SHU.

                Nothing can be hotter then that. People claim hotter by saying you can stack two 10m extracts etc but that’s just volume not technically hotter.

                Update I pulled out 4th my stomach couldn’t handle it. Got the biggest cramps so I’m lying on my bed suffering at the moment waiting for the cramps to pass

                  Resiniferatoxin has entered the chat: 16,000,000,000 SHU

                  Got the biggest cramps so I’m lying on my bed suffering at the moment waiting for the cramps to pass

                  Wishing you a smooth recovery!

                    Damn I haven’t heard of this,

                    That’s insane, but I wonder if it would be similar to 16,000,000 if it’s safe to eat.

                    I have found once you broach the 5m SHU mark I can’t tell the difference except in the effects on my stomach.

                    Though 16billion is a huge leap
