Game is called Street Fighter

well, uh ... one thing a- would you excuse me for a moment

But that doesn’t explain why they couldn’t just fly the ring to Mordor on the eagles.

And yet they fight in the street.

>Street Fighter
>You dont get to fight the streets themselves

The eagles are fucking cunts is why, plotting the downfall of all humanoid creatures. When they realized Frodo wasn't going to fail they went OH SHIT WE BETTER GET IN GOOD WITH THOSE NON-BIRDS.

Fucking eagles.

Chinese food joke

Tolkien explained all this thoroughly, some of it as early as The Hobbit.
>it's heavy to carry even a hobbit for such a long distance, let alone his armed guard
>farming men would shoot arrows at the eagles all the way thinking the eagles were there to steal their sheep
>Saruman controlled the skies as of Fellowship of the Ring with his roving parties of spying crows, and could send Uruk-Hai to shoot down the eagles over Rohan.
>flying big fucking eagles over the Black Gate would alert and trigger Sauron into sending his own flying units (the ringwraiths) to chase them down; the only reason the ringwraiths didn't intercept the eagles from saving Sam and Frodo during the final battle was because they were tied up at the Black Gate fighting Aragorn and shit and Sauron's attention was on the diversion. Fell Beasts>Eagles in a fight.
>the eagles can easily be corrupted and take the ring for themselves, just like anyone who isn't Tom Bombadil
Pick your poison. The "why didn't they just fly" meme is easily debunked by anyone who's read the books.

This essentially

The eagles were an analogy for jews, Tolkien literally confirmed it in his letters to his son

>farming men would shoot arrows at the eagles
If the average farmer in middle earth was that good of a shot they really shouldn't have had any trouble dealing with Mordor and orcs

>watch dogs
>you don't get to watch dogs

they dont have to hit the eagles. why should the eagles invest in an airborne transportation start-up just so they can get shot at by humans.

the latter part of that quote is that the eagles admit that normally the farmers would be entirely justified in shooting at them, because they do like to eat their cattle.

the eagles dont give a shit about rings or humans, they just want to fly around and eat some poor farmers sheep every now and then without a care.

THE RING WAS TO BIG JACKASS. And how would they fight on it?

Orcs wear armour and come in much bigger numbers than eagles user. Eagles can't wear armour and there are probably like 100 of them; and if an eagle carrying Frodo gets hit, game over.
Also remember that Smaug the Magnificent canonically died to a single arrow in his belly from an archer of Men. And Uruk-Hai archers (part Man) killed Boromir, an armoured prince of Gondor. And Orc archers with their shitty bows killed Isildur and changed the course of history.
Archers OP in the LOTR setting.

They should probably invest because they live in Middle-Earth and besides that they're fucking ainur anyway, what a bunch of niggers without any sense of responsibility or duty

And they fly higher than any arrow could ever reach them, it's a shit excuse dude
Smaug got hit because he was flying low above a town and was hit by an expert marksman

I genuinely don't see the problem with this. It's a street fight because anything goes within the fight itself. That doesn't mean that the fighters involved can't have training in disciplines that aren't based in on an anything goes philosophy.

>they fly higher than any arrow could ever reach them,
Obviously not high enough for it to no longer be a risk, according to the king of the eagles himself.
>He was discussing plans with the Great Eagle for carrying the dwarves and himself and Bilbo far away and setting them down well on their journey across the plains below.
>The Lord of the Eagles would not take them anywhere near where men lived. "They would shoot at us with their great bows of yew," he said, "for they would think we were after their sheep. And at other times they would be right. No! we are glad to cheat the goblins of their sport, and glad to repay our thanks to you, but we will not risk ourselves for dwarves in the southward plains."
That's with the other reasons aside.

Why the fuck is this dude allowed to use grenades in the World Warrior tournament? And a staff? How are weapons tournament-legal?

Cody literally brandishes a knife. How is he not banned from the tournament?

Why the hell does Rainbow Mika get to have a striker? How is that fair in a 1v1 tournament?

I present to you exhibit a

it's because of the nazgul you stupid autists

1: I mentioned the nazgul in my original post people are replying to you stupid autist
2: it wasn't because of the nazgul in The Hobbit, it was for other reasons (don't want to risk being shot at for something eagles don't care about), which still applies as of LOTR

>Tolkien
>Analogies
Improve your lies, user. A good joke need a portion of truth in order to be fun.
