...isn't this kinda misleading? Not all of these are mentioned in Campbell's "Hero's Journey", they're more just common tropes used in movies that follow it - then again, I could be wrong; I haven't read Hero with a Thousand Faces in a while.
I'm pretty sure The Comic Duo and The Gentle Giant aren't brought up at all (at least not how they're shown here), and I don't think it's explicitly stated that the villain needs an army.
So... this has nothing to do with the hero's journey described by Campbell. If you've read the book (or even just read the outline of the hero's journey) you would know it isn't based on the characters of the story, but the path a protagonist takes in a monomyth. This points out interesting similarities but is way off base and has no reason to refer to Campbell.

I don't remember the MOUTH of Sauron being the *main villain in LOTR.
