  • I have to disagree with that last point. Dinosaurs lasted a LONG time, and while.early dinosaurs certainly had little feather coverage, such as stegosaurus, later dinosaurs, such as yutyrannus and therozinosaurus, were absolutely covered.

    Now, there were not “feathers”, but feather like structures that eventually evolved into feathers in their descendants










  • I think it’s fun to remember the context in which Tolkien wanted the books to be read. These aren’t stories told in the moment, they are tales captured from ages ago and being retold via unreliable narrators and half truths. These make them subject to retcon, omission, and exaggeration. Approaching these stories as one would a cultural anthropologic expedition is exactly the point.
