Becus egals dont real

Why didn't the One Ring carry the Eagles and Mordor into Mount Doom and drop Frodo in the Ring?

>>633445
because the Ring doesn't have any wings to flap, therefore can't cause any life, and therefore can't fly, much less hold hold a giant eagle and a hobbit.

Got a better question for you; why could the One Ring only be destroyed by the fires of Mount Doom?

I fucking hate "magical macguffin is invincible except to X" shit, it's gay.

Why didn't J.R.R. Tolkien carry Harry and the Horn of Valere into the Ministry of Love and wake Cthulhu in Galt's Gulch?

>>633458
because those don't exist in the middle earth universe. Giant eagles that fly people around, however, do.

WHY DIDN'T MORGOTH JUST BREAK THE DOORS OF NIGHT AND SHIT ALL OVER EVERYONE ALREADY?

GOD.

>>633458
I lol'd so hard

Well would you enjoy the story if it was that easy? I rationalize it like this: Sauron has all his spies (crows, Who knows what else) which would see him in the sky and the Nazgul would have easily taken them out of the sky with their dragon dudes.

hide in the clouds, motherfucker

Gandalf shoots Gatsby

Why didn't George Bush just make up some bogus report about weapons of mass destruction in order to get the worlds approval before invading Iraq?

One does not simply fly into Mordor.

You're complaining about something magical in a fantasy setting?

Are you stupid or just an asshole?

''Hop on my back Frodo!'' shouted Don Henley, flapping his powerful wings, ''we're going to get you to Mount Doom in no time, so Take It Easy!''

Wouldn't the eye on the tower just shoot them down?

>>633455
I think bc it was forged in the fires of Orodruin, amiright?

oh lawd.

We are all participating in a troll thread. This is posted on a daily basis and while I'll be ignoring it from this point on I wanted to let you know. No input to this thread, myself included, is of any merit or worth.

>>633623
No. It would stare them down.

Hey look there's Pidgeot

You have just become the troll trolling the trolls trolling trolls. :/

Sauron is gonna have a Heartbreak Tonight

Because they would've been noticed.

And most importantly the eagles don't give a shit unless a boss like Gandalf or his friends are in danger of losing their lives.

No, it's just that MacGuffin's that are indestructible is a peev of mine. Especially annoys me when it's something they need to destroy, as it's OOOH INVULNERABLE EXCEPT TO X, which ticks me off because it's a poorly veiled and often unexplained reason to force a party of adventurers to go through a series of perils rather than just smash the damn thing between some rocks. If it was at least somehow justified I'd be somewhat pacified, but this "it was made there, so it must be destroyed there" doesn't make any fucking sense. How in the fuck is Mt Doom anything special aside from being the domain of Sauron? Is it an especially hot volcano? Is it MAGICAL? To me, it's a weak plot device, and it annoys me.

>>634323
It's the only active volcano within walking distance. Now fuck off.

>>634336
Thanks, glad to know you're all super tolerant of other people's opinions.

this guys got it. There's not reason why the Eagles wouldn't have done it. They flew the silly dwarves around in the Hobbit, they certainly would have helped out in this respect. you just have to justify it for yourself. Its fucking LOTR, who are we to question it? and for those of you who think LOTR is anything but infallible you have to go away.
