>Also: why were the Eagles such elitist dicks?
the eagles and gandalf and the balrogs are all the same kind of magic being they just look different
they're not just some ertarded big birds
>I'll save you gandalf from this prison
but I won't help your hobbits >I'll save you gandal and all your dorfs
but I won't carry you any closer to the mountain. >ok now we'll save your hobbits
but just this once
Their actions are arbitrary at best. It's not like they are fricking busy going to their Eagle jobs to earn eagle bucks. They are just dicks.
Why would they fear Sauron? Sauron got his ass kicked by man and lost the one ring and hid away for a thousand years. Then when he comes back he builds multiple armies only to lose every battle.
They should have been all "Alright lets do this. It'll take a weekend but whatever"
They were afraid of men with bows who would shoot them for trying to eat their sheep
So they were just giant pussies? Why shouldn't they just fly higher?
Unless they were trying to eat the sheep in which case frick em.
The world building in LotR is lame as frick. The motivations of the various races don't make any sense, the whole anti-industrialism makes no sense when everyone is covered head to toe with steal and there are massive mega construction projects fricking everywhere, and the big bad is a major frick up that loses every battle and makes terrible judgement calls.
world building of the highest order
>elephants in Europe
Lol this homie never heard of hannibal
the black guy?
nah The silence of the lambs one
>directed by Ridley Scott
>black guy
Think he was Phoenician
Europe had elephants, lions and other big beasts until Europeans hunted them to extinction
wow, that cgi looks really bad
and it's not even close to the scale shown in the battle of pelennor fields
"Look Mister Frodo, it's Mount Doom!"
Alfrid Lickspittle won
What was his character like in the books
Didn't exist. Stretched one decent sized book into 4 shitty movies.
No dialogue, no mention, no established lineage. He's like a ghost, chief.
Eagles
Butterflies
Wolves
Chickens
....Elefants!
He was a master lingust you know

A scene from Star Wars where there's a dog dressed as an elephant surrounded by tiny people

>yfw Gandalf went with 3 eagles, one for Frodo, one for Sam and one for Gollum
you’d be an elitist too if you were manwe’s chosen animals and had nothing to fear from any other beings in middle earth
They feared sauron, that's why they pledged allegiance to him in the first two movies
Why would they fear Sauron? Sauron got his ass kicked by man and lost the one ring and hid away for a thousand years. Then when he comes back he builds multiple armies only to lose every battle.

Because Tolkien is a hack
I like when grandolf says brodo I am your father
>main bad guy is named sauron
>his sidekick is named sauron's man
bravo, hackson
>when sauronman creates monsters called urallgay
lmao I see what you did there hackson
Am I insane or did these used to be called muumakil?
Mumakil is just their name in the easterlings' language. Oliphant was how they were called in the west.
So I didn’t imagine.
>character called Boromir
>just wants to merely look at borrowing the lord of the rings
Did Dickens really?
>Oilyphant
>an elephant trained to carry petroleum
is there any fantasy universe with better world building than lotr?
The Silmarillion
they're the same universe you doofus
Read The Hobbit, moron

LotR is overrated garbage.
