It was the scene where he kicked the orc helmet and yelled. That wasn't just an acted yell of frustration.

yes, that fact is repeated every single time, without fail, that both the movie and trilogy come up, it's become a meme

Ah, I wasn't sure whether you were being sarcastic or not. I haven't seen it mentioned very often.

No amount of Photoshop is going to convince me that "New Zealand" exists

It’s like they’ll go to any length just to convince us of a myth. Sad really.

I only trust world maps that do not have this New Zealand on them.

Amazing photo. So cool to see. When I see things like this I wonder what flat earthers say when there are literally thousands of photos like this. Do they think there are people just a bunch of people creating fake photos?

It’s funny how people who consider themselves “skeptics” regarding basic scientific knowledge suddenly become all ears when the subject is a vast complex global conspiracy that’s managed to stay completely secret to everybody except the most “investigative” bloggers and YouTubers.

Looks like a cool open world game map. I wonder why it isn't a popular destination for games.

Ackshually, Zealand isn't really Old Zealand because New Zealand is named after Zeeland, only the spelling has changed over time.

Relation to New Zealand The island nation of New Zealand has no etymological relations to Zealand. New Zealand is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland, which is sometimes referred to as and/or anglicized to Zealand, but is not to be confused with the Danish island.
