    Anybody else excited for the Punisher on Netflix?

    Yesssssss!
    ...especially after the letdown of "Iron Fist", but I had to watch that to prep for "The Defenders". "The Punisher" will hopefully bridge the gap until premier of "Daredevil" season 3.

    Hey, I overheard this discussion at another table (not the cool people like us obviously) and they were talking about this app that tracks your walking in terms of walking to Mordor:

    why didn't they just fly the eagles to mordor?

    Because the Eagles didn't want to do it.

    Also:
    No one at the Council of Elrond suggested riding Eagles because (a) Eagles don’t take orders and (b) it would have drawn the attention of The Eye and insured disaster.

    Always an interesting question. The Eagles were under no obligation to do so, and they aren't beholden to Gandalf as if they were his personal army. It may just be they simply did not want to do so.

    Also they would of been spotted by Sauron's spies and attacked.

    According toThe Silmarillion, Eagles are Maiar (lesser gods or angels) incarnated as large birds. (This goes against the canonically established fact that Eagles have offspring, but whatever.)

    No matter what Eagles are, all sources agree they are servants of Manwë Súlimo, King of the Valar (greater gods or archangels), making them quite literally deus ex machina. The Eagles provide help when Manwë wishes them to do so, and only then.
