LOTR Fan Discusses the Distance Between Barad Dur to Mount Doom, Receives Amused Responses in Lord of the Rings Thread

Calling all Dwarves, Elves, Men, Wizards, Orcs…

Has your week been going by at the pace of a turtle? For me it has. I get up, eat breakfast (kidding, who even does that), drink coffee (there, much more believable), go to work, watch the clock, drive home, watch LOTR, go to sleep. Rinse, repeat. Lord of the Rings has been my favorite trilogy for quite some time now. The allure of Middle Earth, a realm where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, isn't just a story… it's a journey into the depths of Tolkien's enchanting world. His meticulous attention to detail, from the sprawling landscapes to the intricate cultures of Elves, Dwarves, and Men, is outstanding.

My love for LOTR stems from its ability to transport me to a world where words are more than just symbols on a page; they're windows into a realm of wonder and magic, where anything is possible. Basically, I wish I were living in Middle Earth.

Alright, let's get down to business. One LOTR fan asked Reddit if they noticed that Barad Dur in The Two Towers seems to be quite far from Mount Doom, while in Return of the King, they seem to almost be standing next to each other. The responses were absolutely hilarious. Check it out, and then, check out this Dungeons and Dragons player who wasn't happy with the DM's campaign due to her character's performance in combat.
