How LOTR Should Have Ended

Yes, yes, a very old joke, but the cartoon is still funny. As is everything else up on How It Shoud Have Ended (check out the Matrix video!).

Haven't watched all of the vids yet, but the Matrix definitely stuck out (mostly, because I love "Bill & Ted").

LOL! I'm glad I'm apparently not the only one to wonder why the Eagles didn't just carry Frodo over Mt. Doom and have done with it!

Yepp, biggest literary plothole ever:)

I've actually got this set up to post here!

The eagles were a great help to Tolkien with the logistics of some of his plots but there's no denying their very existence does leave this question to be answered!

The other eagle problem I've never understood is why, since they kept watch over the city, they never warned Turgon that Morgoth was about to attack Gondolin.

My canon knowledge is very limited (and I'll always readily admit this), but from my limited knowledge I could never quite shake the impression that the eagles were mostly a plot device to move the plot along when it got stuck somewhere and there was really no other way to get it on track again.

I think you're quite right! Airborne transportation came in very handy at times.

Oh, this video never gets old. It gives me a huge smile every time I watch!

The "Imagine if we had walked all the way" at the end is really hilarious!!

Loved it. Wonder why they didn't do this way.:)

Because then the books would have been a short story;-)
