minus-square@MoodyRaincloud@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglish3•9 months agoGuys. This fellow here is missing a Lord of the Rings reference! Did you know that trilogy is 20 years ago now? Feeling old yet?
minus-square@Buffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-29 months agoLord of the Rings is from 1968, and I read it in the 80’s, and have seen the movies. I don’t see how that was a reference to either.
minus-squareBigmouselinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-29 months agoIt’s a movie reference. Specifically it references “The Lord of the Rings: The return of the King” at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith. It is said by Gimli, as a response to Legolas slaying a Mumak (giant war elephant). I’m sorry i don’t have a timestamp. Edit: It’s 2:50:49ish in the extended edition
minus-square@Buffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoOK I looked it up, and that is indeed a LOTR reference. I just don’t get why people would make a reference out of anything as generic as that?
