CUNK: Are you sure about that though? Because my mate Paul ate some bath salts once then lifted a Fiat 500 that was parked outside Basingstoke train station

ELROND: That's not the kind of strength I'm talking about...

CUNK: So what you're saying is, Elves can carry even more? Like a Golf or a Toyota Corolla or something?

ELROND: No. That's not what I'm say-

CUNK: Do Elves take performance enhancing drugs?

ELROND: Yes, but that is not important right now.

CUNK: Do you also have any recreational ones or just for work?

Cunk on Tolkien when??

Orodruin gives us a perfect glimpse at life in the Mordor empire. Everything was covered with dust.

I like the implication that he's Gandalf the Grey purely because his clothes are dirty

Cunk: Most people would think an older religious man's relationship with a teenage boy would be inappropriate. How would you put their fears to rest?

Gandalf: I would send him on a great adventure.

Cunk: Perhaps a journey of self discovery? 🤔

Gandalf: 🤨

What teenager? Frodo is 50 when he leaves Hobbiton.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's human years, in hobbit years he's 18.

Loli girls are still weird even if they're technically 500 yrs old.

Baby Yoda still a baby even though he's 500 yrs old.

If 50 is equivalent to 18 why does Bilbo look 111 when he's 111 shouldnt he only look like 50 or 60?

The loli thing is a fair point

Also Grogu is 50 not 500

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was always under the impression of the rings corrupting influence, kinda like the dark side.

Ya my bad on the grogu thing.

[–] Glytch@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The only issue with that is that Gandalf comments that Bilbo hasn't aged a day when he arrives for the party. Plus Bilbo ages more rapidly during the 12 years he's in Rivendell

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well ya l, but withdrawals are a bitch.

[–] Glytch@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah they really muddy the waters as far as hobbit aging goes
