It was so cool when the first wargs come behind the hill and then there's Legolas alone shooting his arrows and then more wargs just appear... Off topic but there is a word 'Varg' in Swedish meaning a wolf. In LotR we have a word 'Warg' meaning those wolves. Is there some connection between those words? Tolkien did after all researching about Scandinavian cultures etc. But that was off topic so never mind... just wondering.
