My SO just embarked on a long rant about the physics involved in the flight mechanisms of Ancalgon the Great. The conversation included such gems as:
“HE IS BASICALLY A HUMMINGBIRD.”
“What the hell would they even feed him?!” “Maybe he eats rock?” “NO. WHAT IF HE WAS POWERED BY A NUCLEAR GENERATOR. No wonder all of Morgoth’s lands are blasted and desolated, they’ve been exposed to long term radiation!”
“He wouldn’t be able to fly more than walking speed! And the wind sheer alone, the friction involved in powered flight would mean he was an ambulatory fireball causing devastation to everything around!”
“HE WOULD BE A BLIMP. A BIG zeppelin the size of a mountain! With hummingbird wings! That’s what it would take for powered flight!”
“No wonder it took a spaceship to kill him!”
