And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Zwan is the ultimate band where it was less than the sum of it's parts. Billy can be good. The other band members have all done great stuff. But together it was just... Zwan.

Paz went from A Perfect Circle to Zwan to Pixies

She did a brief tour with Papa M after Zwan broke up. Zwan was a bit of a disaster, but at least those two spun it into some prime gigs.

Paz was actually the reason I was interested in Zwan, even more than Billy, cause I became a huge mark for her on APCs first album. I even have her weirdo solo album she made between the two projects, Yellow mY sky Captain. I somehow missed she was now in the Pixies.

What are you talking about??? They could have flown all the way to the southern edge of the mountains that wall off Mordor or all the way to the north or completely circle around and come at Amon Amarth from the freaking rear totally spread out. Not all routes even in the sky require you to go through the Black Gate or even anything that's remotely populated. :cmon:

The ring took advantage of a person's pride to corrupt them and the eagles are a proud race, this is very simple.

1) the eagles were not under gandalfs command. they owed him reasonable favors

2) ring had to be cast into where it was forged, not just a general area of mt doom

3) hobbits were not powerful so it would take a long time for the ring to corrupt them. the eagles would have immediately gone full bugshit and went to dave and busters and spent their entire paycheck

to bring this back to wrestling, having the Eagles take the ring is like having someone unsigned appear on Dynamite. Sauron Vince will immediately see them and sign them. If you keep them on the indies only then the Nazgul William Regal and Road Dogg have to spend a lot of time looking for them

How LOW to the ground are these Eagles flying in your head????? And flying at night above the clouds isn't an option????

Being the main mode of transportation to get rid of the thing that almost caused the end of the world once is a pretty reasonable favor to ask.

You make it sound like you just drop the ring into an actively spewing volcano instead of just landing near the Crack of Doom, and going inside to drop it back into the lava isn't at all a reasonable option.

Why would the Eagles be more susceptible than Hobbits? Elves gifted a lot of animals consciousness hence the hierarchy of animals that exist on Middle-Earth. :psypop:

The real answer is Tolkien didn't think about it and if he did he knew there would be no loving plot. :laffo:

1) low enough that the eye of sauron would have a lear shot on them. he could also feel the presence so just it flying in the straight line would be like "drat must be flying lemme just send some winged monkeys in its general direction"

2) no thats actually like an unreasonable favor to ask. the eagles dont give a poo poo because it almost caused the end of man/elves/idiots and not the end of eagles. this is a people problem.

3) yeah they could walk it back in but it would leave them vulnerable

4) the more powerful and proud something is the quicker the ring would corrupt them. hobbits are literally the most innate good creature and it still almost got frodo

the real answer is you didnt think about any of this and youre just arguing to be a Contrarian, checkmate

Is arguing a point being willingly contrarian? Cause I do legit believe that Tolkien just memory holed the use of Eagles because he knew that was an easy answer to his whole story. WALTER on the other hand is the type to only be corrupted at the very very end, if only to give himself more strength to chop people's chests.
