The How it Should Have Ended folks are back on top by making a video that actually shows an alternate ending to a movie! Wow! It’s not just a bunch of jokes about the film itself. This video actually shows how The Hobbit should have ended! Magnificent. Though they also can’t resist making the same tired “Why don’t we take the eagles everywhere?” joke.

The answer is simple, people! In the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship went on foot in order to avoid detection! If they flew on the eagles, Sauron and Sarumon would see them coming from miles away! By going on foot, they remained undetected. Frodo and Sam made it all the way to Mount Doom without armies of orcs being sent after them, right? It’s the same reason Bartleby and Loki walked from Wisconsin to New Jersey in Dogma. 

A flock of giant eagles kind of stands out.
