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.

those were all terrible and you should be ashamed you saved them

I do not know this movie

Oh I actually have seen that but it was the literal day it released. Guess I'm due a rewatch

Correct.

Ashita no Joe

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.

>characters state multiple times that they need to sneak in
That's literally explaining it Black person monkey

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.

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

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

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

Why didn't Sauron take back the ring himself?

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.
