    I know this is just a funny meme, but if anyone was still wondering:

    In the Silmarillion, the War of Wrath was the first time the Valar intervened in the conflict for middle earth, against the then villain Morgoth (Sauron’s boss). The intervention destroyed middle earth and its many magical kingdoms, even sinking an entire continent. After this the Valar decided they should be careful with middle earth, as intervention also means a great escalation of destructive power.

    In LOTR Manwë only sent the eagles after the ring is destroyed because he was staying out of the conflict until then. His intervention wasn’t to help the war, but simply to return Frodo home after it was done.

      Somehow expected you to explain the meme with the fact that Middle-Earth is both round and flat at the same time.

      The Valar had fought a much earlier, much more cataclysmic war with Melkor in Middle-earth called the First War with Melkor, and there was also the War of the Powers during the Years of the Trees.

      And the Eagles joined the Battle of the Black Gate before the Ring was destroyed. It was only a matter of minutes, but it still happened earlier.

    Holds up a piece of paper

    A wormhole

    grabs a pencil

    folds paper

    shoves pencil up my ass

    If you’re going to fold the paper, at least have the decency of pushing a pen through. The way Hollywood intended.

    Wait…

    Crap they could, couldn’t they?

    Why don’t I fly unarmoured unarmed aircraft through a radar system with anti air weapons?

      Gotta overwhelm with numbers. A swarm of sparrows charmed by Radagast should do it.

    I would think it was pretty obvious… THEY’RE JERKS.

    But what can you expect from a species that’s always looking down on others?

    Thank you, i will see myself out.
