I can't remember what the original thread was about for all these, something like "Ruin the plot of a movie by being logical." Just a taste of Cinemaphile from 12 years ago.

This shit makes me so fricking angry. I see this idea shared constantly and you know it's something that some moron though of and then a bunch of other morons heard it, didn't think about it much, and then just started aping it. The movies and especially the books explain exactly why the eagles couldn't be used to just fly into mordor. In fact, it is literally the entire point of the story.

Yeah I mean there isn't a scene where the tape pauses and Gandalf walks out super imposed over the movie saying "well here's the reason we couldn't take the eagles..." but I figure that to anyone who isn't a brainlet it was pretty obvious that a small team that was put together because stealth was absolutely required, that broke down to allow for even more stealth, and that only succeeded because of the overwhelming level of stealth versus the multiple ploys to distract the enemy, and that enemy by the way not only was shown to have an incredibly powerful aerial fighting force but also aerial scouting units, couldn't just fly straight in front of the enemy and make it in.

Nobody expressly expains why they can't all hop in an M1 Abrams and ride on in so I guess that's another massive plothole.

because they have to SNEAK in
flying on a bunch of giant eagles, in the air, where you can be easily seen, would be the antithesis of sneaking in
no one expressly explains that because it's obvious

Why couldn't Legolas just tie the ring to one of his arrows and shoot it into the volcano?

Not him, but the only reason I recall for sneaking was to avoid the big fricking army that the eagles could just fly over, as they do in the ending sequence to lift Frodo out. The entire plan of sneaking was centered around ground travel, to which eagles are a solution.

The point of sneaking in was to avoid Sauron knowing that the ring was being moved into Mordor
He was under the impression for most of the war that Aragorn was in possession of the ring and planned to use it as a weapon
Sauron's mistake was that it was inconceivable to him that anybody would actively seek to destroy the ring, instead of just using it
Getting on the eagles and flying right for his big glowing weak spot would have alerted him that they intended to destroy it, at which point he would have fortified the entrance to Mt Doom to the point that it would not have been possible.
And he had lots of air forces, did you forget the fricking Nazgul?
And the furnace of mt doom isn't just some open caldera you can drop the ring into from the sky. You have to get down there, on foot, and go inside. >as they do in the ending sequence
Yes after Sauron is dead and his forces scattered and fleeing while the fricking mountain is erupting
Wouldn't have worked before, and would have defeated the entire point of the Fellowship's operation

The whole fricking point is that it was a stealth mission and that they did not want Sauron to know they were taking the ring to Mount Doom, dumbfricks

He had to have already known because Sauronman knew about it.

That was something added to the movie. Also, Sauronman wanted the ring for himself, he wanted to eventually overthrow Sauron Sith-style

the Eagles were extremely prideful magical beings and largely detached from the concerns of humanity
They would have been corrupted by the Ring just like anything else
and flying directly into Mordor would have alerted Sauron that their plan was to reach Mt. Doom at which point he puts 2 and 2 together and the entrance becomes the most heavily guarded place in Mordor
It wouldn't have worked

Why didn't Sauron take back the ring himself?

He was trying to do exactly that during the entire story
But something people also miss, is that he didn't really NEED the ring to conquer Middle Earth. He was already well on his way to just steamrolling everyone with conventional military power. He would have had all the time in the world to find the ring after his victory.
That's why they dismiss the idea of just hiding it somewhere.

Yeah, the Ring was really just his phylactery. It contained a piece of his soul and (originally) made him undefeatable on the battlefield. He wants his ring back for the same reason you'd want the key to your house back if it got stolen.
Reminder that in reality Spartan babies weren't killed for being mongoloids and that Ephialtes wasn't jilted, he just betrayed the Spartans in hope for reward.
He wasn't even a freak.
It's really demoralizing how at least half of the greek nobility/generals who fought in the war ended up betraying over to the persians anyways. Fricking mind boggling really.
would your country's army let you join if you mention "yeah just let me be a fricking waste of supplies and food on the field and do absolutely nothing except for when the enemy is already fleeing then i'll help chase them"
this completely falls apart when you see this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeK-d553Mjk
leonidas just fricks off and does his own thing. what happened to protecting the guy beside you?
>what happened to protecting the guy beside you?
Doesn't work for kinography. That's what 300 Spartans is for, not 300.
well yeah but then theres zero reason ephialtes coudnt fight with them. just put him off to the side
He wasn't aesthetic enough
Finally, a reason to post this ancient meme from 2012. I knew saving it would be worthwhile!
Frick it, I'm dumping all of them.

they clearly show him being in formation till the enemies front was broken,
So let ephialtes join in when the enemy line breaks?
in honor of these digits, Ephialtes may fight with the Spartans
>MOTHER

>YOU WERE WRONG!

The fundamental nature of man never changes.
Nice get. How would the battle have changed if they had 300,000 Spartans?
he was already offered a perfectly respectably job of bring water to the front liners
digits confirm Leonidas was moronic
would your country's army let you join if you mention "yeah just let me be a fricking waste of supplies and food on the field and do absolutely nothing except for when the enemy is already fleeing then i'll help chase them"
achievable natty?
>CAM ON ACHAEMENID EMPIRE
spartans were right, deformed and low iq babies kids should be culled.
but that would be racist
