That's a Wrap for Balrogs
Elumakil

I believe we're getting somewhere with this winged not winged discussion. Lately, the opinions tend to get a more passive look and also a truer look. Ok, so if you wanna believe balrogs have wings or that they dont and no statment will make you change your mind then go on and stick to what you believe. Anyway, Annatar said something very logical, the balrogs could have avoived a lot of bad situations for their image (and health) if they used the wings they had. Still, they probably have wings... but wings of shadow that can only scare and make fear grow on the hearts of those who see them. I think the balrog from the movie is quite well done and anyone would agree that the wings he extends to he's sides definitly look like wings but probably wouldn't get him to fly... i mean, they're made of shadow right?... See you...
