I know I'll sound like a faggot for asking this but...

Who is tom Bombidill?
Why didn't the eagles take the ring to mordor?

>> No.2047984

Because eagles just don't give a fuck

>> No.2047985

1. some guy who lived in the forest and he was god or something idk. he was gay and sang songs, it gave me a headache so I just skipped those chapters.
2. the birds weren't friends with gandalf and they only became friends later on, you can't ask strangers for favours like that

>> No.2047988

>Who is Tom Bombadil?
A mystical force all his own, Tolkien conceived of Bombadil before he did LOTR, etc

>Why didn't they fly in on the eagles?
Fear of Ring Wraiths and Sauron's eye nigguh. Remember, the eagles only flew in after Sauron was defeated.

1. God
2. They had to keep their eggs warm

Why were they so scared of sauron? And how could he kill the eagles?

>> No.2048029

bombadill was a magical character that was apparently put in the beginning of the journey for tolkiens kids

The Eye or any other power from mordor would have raped them it wasn't even funny.
