>Gandalf imprisoned by Saruman on July 20, 3018
>Merry and Pippin escape Uruk-Hai on Feb. 29, 3019
So the Uruk-hai were alive for about 7 months by then. Why were menus something they learned about so early on in their lives given the haste of their task?

Because Middle Earth was actually hell
>>66795919
They ate at the Orthanc bistro during basic.
Lord of the Rings takes place in the future?
>>66796269
Yeah, they're in futuristic New Zealand most of the time.

Reminder that you could see a car moving in the background of a shot of FOTR if you saw it originally in the cinema
>>66795919
Why does Middle Earth follow the Gregorian calendar?
>>66795919
If I remember rightly, the novel is presented as if it were a modern English translation of a real ancient manuscript. The same conceit can easily be extended to the movie. The use of modern coloquialisms like "back on the menu" don't need to be interpreted literally, but merely as easily-understandable alternatives to whatever expression would have conveyed an equivalent concept in Third Age Orcish.
>>66795919MENU?

And with Roman month names.

The story( from the books) is supossed to be told as if Tolkien read the book that Bilbo/Frodo wrote and made a version of his own. He is simply retelling a story he's read.
>>66795919
Sarumans forges were actually for cutlery
>>66795919
Did you not see the store room of the cafeteria that Merry and Pippin were in in The Two Towers?
>>66797842
it doesn't use roman names you nigger
educate yourself cuck

Sauron was a big guy
>>66799041
Well, apparently the Haradrim are not as good at building tall shit as Sauron, since they fucked it up by 300 feet
>>66799041
Reminder that Sauron had a physical body in the tower and personally interrogated Gollum
>>66795919
They learnt it from a famous Dwarf slogan: "Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-menu"
>>66795919
This is a movie.
>>66797553
"Back on the menu" is not in the book
>>66800109
I read the book yesterday and it was in there
>>66796269
Yes, what you're looking at is a post-Caliphate Europe.
>>66797952
lazy...

How could he do that when "he can not yet take physical form yet but his spirit has lost none of its potency"?
>>66801414
Hey! Don't post mai waifu outside of /a/ dammit.
>>66801524
too fat
>>66801414
Movie change
Gollum in the book recalls being interrogated by Sauron (in the movie it was just Orcs) and mentions the missing Ring finger
because they are fat little hobbit's but they thought they were men, looks like meat's back on the men you boys
>>66802081
it all makes sense now
