Is this a still from the movie? This looks fucking amazing.

you unironically need to have a high IQ to understand that the eagles CAN'T always do what they did apparently

Why doesn't the Mushroom Kingdom just execute Bowser

Shrine of Winter

The fucking New-U stations in borderlands. it opens so many plot holes

B2 made them canon, which made it even worse

is it so hard to believe that Sauron has AA guns installed?

Wouldn't Sauron's flying beasts have ripped them from the sky? I haven't seen the movie in a while so I don't recall if those things were still around towards the end.

why didnt kratos just take a chill pill

One would assume so, but apparently this is so hard for sheep to understand.

The birds didn't just fly them to Mt. Doom because they too are susceptible to the corrupting influence of Sauron. With the ring so close for so long they could have been corrupted by Sauron's will.
Also this

but why would sauron dying make it safe for them to fly there? shouldn't a bunch of orcs with arrows/drakes or whatever still be at mordor?

that waist high pile of rubble blocking the path to the throne in DS2

they still could have flown the entire fellowship as close to mordor as possible so they wouldn’t have to travel the entierty of middle-earth

Talion did nothing wrong, Celebrimbor is a traitor fagot.

Yes it's the ending shot from the two towers

All the orcs were distracted by Aragorn's diversionary attack. When Sauron got blasted all his minions lost heart and fled.

Same with Bioshock. They explain why your charactor is set up to use the res stations, but not why the leader of the entire city is not.

This. That was so infinitely retarded.

It's unrealistic AF. Isengard is far further away than that image suggests. No way would it ever be that close. It's ridiculous, and it made the movies poorer because of it. Elves at Helms Deep was merely the final nail.

this was explained. fontaine removed him from the registry

Sauron was aware that the ring was there before it was destroyed. The Nazgul were basically sent into ground zero when Sauron and Mt. Doom blew up.

that's barad ur, you baiting motherfucker

Why couldn't you just shoot the dudes on the train in any other fashion?

They were ment to fly. Thats why when Gandalf fell he said fly you fools. They just didn't get his meaning

I don't care about that nerd shit, it's visually striking. It looks like a baroque painting, I wish all CGI look as good as this, usually CGI looks too clean and sharp.

>why didnt they fly the ring to mordor
>air is filled with fucking drakes
>saurons eyeball will fucking destroy them
why is this even a meme? its blatantly clear why they can just fly into mordor

Why do you think the kingdom has lasted so long? Fear of Bowser. There's a Deep State that prevents anyone from permanently destroying Bowser.

Rubble is convoluted

...

The Eagles didn't give a shit because, if orcs won it wouldn't affect them. Unless they were hunted down.

They only helped because they owed gandalf, and orcs spread wild wargs into eagle territory

>Isengard
That'd Barad-dur you mong, the fucking massive tower that's located in Mordor that shows up in every fucking movie.

...

has firefoxes update ruined Sup Forums for anyone else?

> It's bad because I have extreme, unquenchable nega-autism

Why didn't they just manually rip Stefano and Wallace out of STEM as soon as they identified them as the people hijacking everything? It's not like the first Evil Within where Ruvik was the system's core.

Literally why didn't Quiet write shit down in MGSV

This.

>using firefox

but why

The whole disease is a one big pile of confusion.

hell, why didnt she use sign language? or morse code?

The part in Dark Souls 2 where you have to go to the ends of the earth to obtain four great souls because a shortcut to the shrine is covered in knee-high rubble.

How does it feel to not only be retarded but also intellectually blind as fuck? I bet you guys love being on the contradictory side of things so much you ignore all evidence in your face just to be the outlier. Pathetic twats, You guys spout a couple lines of a bullshit with zero evidence as fact it makes me vomit with unpalatable indignation toward your ignorance. Let me spell out why your FUCKING retarded and never read and of the books. Its well known that the birds is the best solution COMPARED to all other forms of attack against sauraun but i get it; you guys think your so fucking cool going agsinst the mainstream that you would rather spout stupid uninformed rhetoric with ZERO evidence to back up your claims. To be that desperate for attention i can only assume repulstic autistic backgrounds. Do you honestly think moving on foot toward mt doom with a couple faggots is better than a coordinated feint attack with air superiority? Have you ever read the art of war, have you ever read the books where they use that SAME FUCKING STRATEGY TO WIN?! Are you that fucking daft to ignore the battles where the eagles fought in the air and won against the enemy air that you think your shitty uninformed opinion of eagles losing trumps this?
>B-but, so much risk, eagles get corrupted ahurdr
EVERY PLAN HAS RISK, i could agree with you that eagles COULD be corrupted in the small amount of time the plan gets executed, however the argument gets BLOWN THE FUCK OUT when your comparing to shittier strategies like, i dunno, WALKING TO THE MIDDLE OF ENEMY TERRITORY ON FOOT YOU FUCKING RETARD.
>b-but they COULDN'T have done it! t-the book is perfect why would something so obvious not be done then?!
Thats why its a fucking PLOTHOLE. Thats also why no one mentions using the birds in the most obvious of tactics because they didnt want the reader to figure out this is for dramatic effect and buildup for the main conflict. No one wants a book where they just lol win

It's the sort of question that completely misunderstands the ENTIRE fucking point of the whole trilogy.

Why couldn't the eagles fly them? The same reason why all the armies of middle-earth couldn't march straight through the gate. The same reason the Fellowship couldn't accompany Frodo the whole way.

Sauron was fucking looking for the ring, and nobody was trustworthy enough to carry it because of its power. They sent two fucking Hobbits to sneak up Mordor's asshole alone while basically spending 3 movies drawing fire from them; the entire POINT was that Sauron would never believe the ring was in the hands of two lone hobbits sneaking around, and thus never find it.

Flying the ring there on Eagles would be like having the Blue Angels escort a double agent behind enemy lines.

>, if orcs won it wouldn't affect them.
>orcs spread wild wargs into eagle territory
As if they wouldn't do that in the future

...

If only that rubble was made of ice...

Not an EW-fag but their consciousness remains in the system. Only now there's no way of getting them out other then killing them inside the system.

>they fly to Mordor anyway and nothing bad happens

They only fly into Mordor after Sauron is already defeated, after Frodo dunked the ring which caused all Ringwraiths and Sauron to get fucked.

Not in the movie they don't, they fly in to attack the ringwraiths during the big battle before the ring is dropped in

Why didn't sauron just made himself a power armor instead of a power ring?

okay okay hear me out, we ask one of the eagles to fly way above the clouds, then when we get to mount doom we dive bomb straight down and throw the fucker in

Movies being shit is irrelevant to the source material, there is no "burning eye" in the books either.

why couldn't wario just sleep in until the game ended?

>Far off the shadows of Sauron hung; but torn by some gust of wind out of the world, or else moved by some great disquiet within, the mantling clouds swirled, and for a moment drew aside; and then he saw, rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr. One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye

—The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Six, Chapter II "The Land of Shadow"

>developers based in hong kong
>source code nowhere in sight
it's not for me, thanks

lol

book fag here.

the changes to the battle of helms deep were needed for the pacing of the film. it helped develop legolas and gimli's friendship even further. a lot of their relationship, and hell the importance of helms deep, would go unnoticed by movie goers if the elves didn't show up.

ur dumb.

Gondor calls for economic aid!

Yes, for a split second as a spell that Sauron himself casts a moment before. He spends the entire trilogy as a regular withered old man, kill yourself Warner Shill.

theres really no need to be rude about things in our discussion u know :)

>using a botnet browser
Sheeple

sending positive vibes your way

fgsfds

Fuck

why didn't the bearer of the curse just jump over the rocks?

"hey guys this note is just to let you know i can speak english but doing so will kill everyone on this base. i trust that you guys wont kill me even though i am a bomb waiting to detonate and can just whisper a few words to kill everyone at any given time"
what the fuck is she going to write? it would just make the motherbase staff even more suspicious of what her reasoning is for not talking and when they learn about parasites theyll immediately assume quiet is up to no good rather than just being uncooperative.

It's still an asspull

#NotAllOrcs

We must act against anti-orc hate speech and the Alt-Gondor!

Have you punched a numénorian supremacist today Sup Forums?

Why not just set up some sort of elaborate system of eagle chains, where by Frodo would jump from one eagle to another after X amount of distance where X is equal to an arbitrary safe distance before corruption by proximity sets in.

This, same goes for the army of the dead. It would have been kickass to watch Gondorian soldiers slowly turn the tide of the battle back, but at that point the Battle of Pelenor Fields had already been going on for quite some time. The only way they could have really fit that in would be by cutting back "unnecessary" character content and reducing the siege of Minas Tirith, which would almost certainly have meant that we wouldn't have gotten some iconic scenes like "WHAT SAY YOU?", no "white shores" speech, a parred down charge of the Rohirim, and so on.

Tolkien was right, the Lord of the Rings as the books really are simply was not meant to be adapted to film. Given the circumstances, we honestly got the best adaptation that we could have hoped for, and in truth it's something of a miracle that the trilogy turned out as solid as it did.

>why not just row to Cuba?

>and in truth it's something of a miracle that the trilogy turned out as solid as it did.
>tfw if they made it today half the cast would be black and frodo would be changed to female

what a fucking nerd lmao

Well there's one simple solution to her entire plot line.

Economics posting>#NotAllOrcs posting

what do you think of the hobbit trilogy?

A better question is "Why didn't sauron put a couple of uruks outside the only entrance to Mt. Doom?"

The whole point was to sneak into Mordor to destroy the Ring and try as hard as they could to go unnoticed.

Sauron would immediately notice a bunch of angelic eagles flying towards him and would immediately have them killed.

>I can avoid being audited if I wish, but to not pay taxes entirely? That is a rare gift.

>implying

A complete travesty compared to the LOTR. I don't know who is responsible for the meddling but it absolutely did not need to be in 3 movies; the 2nd one ended at a really stupid part, the shoehorned action sequences were awful, the romance subplot was garbage.

The first one was decent but I could already tell they took so much out of it that made it such a cherished book for me.

...

Liberals deserve execution by electrocution

I'm not sure what pissed me off more the fact that it missed the point of the book by several country miles or that it showcased what happened when a good director and his team go on creative auto pilot

was offended by the first one, didn't even finish the second one. only read about the horrors of the third.

>gandalf romance
>LITERALLY showing the necromancer plot thread

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Sauron had no reason to suspect that anyone would willingly destroy the ring.
And he was actually right, the ring was destroyed by a complete accident.

Because he didn't think that anybody would actually try to destroy the ring. In the books they make it readily apparent that the idea never dawned on him until Frodo put it on;
>And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dûr was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare. Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung. From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery, from all his stratagems and wars his mind shook free; and throughout his realm a tremor ran, his slaves quailed, and his armies halted, and his captains suddenly steerless, bereft of will, wavered and despaired. For they were forgotten. The whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force upon the Mountain

>Sauron had no reason to be smart

They didn't just "Show it".
They literally have Gandalf duel Sauron's Eye 1 vs 1 and lose.
Then they have Strong Womyn Galadriel come to rescue her one true love (Goydalf) and single handedly destroy entirety of Dol Guldur and banish Sauron.
And then they have Saruman 1 vs 9 dueling all Nazgul in a stupid as fuck action scene because why not.

>tfw no black gandalf that yells "ZAP MOTHAFUCKA" as he shoots down a nazgul with his light magic

Sauron consistently had his head up his ass throughout history.

Neat
