Lord of the Rings. I have no complaints and am probably one of the few who know why the eagles didn't fly into Mordor.

Why? (I've heard but forget)

I think it's debated a lot but from what I remember it's because the sky is a big empty space, the Eagles are sentient and do what they want, the nazgul patrol the sky and dead kings sense the ring. Sauron has an eye that is ever watching. It would've been too dangerous and risky to lose the ring for the Eagles while the enemy still lived.

Yeah, flying in after the evil is absurdly weakened is pretty obviously not the same as flying through controlled airspace.

I can't stand the movies though. They're like cliff notes of cliff notes of the story.

This is such a simple and succinct explanation. I'm fully satisfied with this and feel like no other explanation is required.

It's fucking walk o'clock!

NSFW, if anyone doesn't know by now.

[-] msage@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

How is that NSFW?

Not every comic Oglaf is porn

That one's fine, but anyone who goes from that to browsing the archive should do it outside the office.
