the movie balrog

[Eressië Ailin]

Ai! Ai! A Balrog wing discussion is come!

LOL! Indeed it has, Saucepan man.

and they should NOT have made it with wings.

i agree that they should not have given it wings

as you guys probably know there's not deliberate mention of wings in the book.

It probably shouldn't have had wings though

I am amazed at the number of people who thought that Balrogs didn't have wings. We know that the Moria Balrog had wings, but we have no such information on other Balrogs.

The fire in it seemed to die, but the darkness grew. It stepped forward slowly on to the bridge, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall
