a story for another time 🙂
Sauron knew nobody could resist the ring. But he didn’t know about hobbits. But he did know about Gollum. So maybe he should have known
Even so you don’t want an open door for people to walk through there willy nilly as they please, just because the thing they want isn’t specifically inside there. That’s just moronic. Just because you don’t have bank details on your phone doesn’t mean you don’t put a password on it. Just because your house has nothing to steal doesn’t mean you don’t close the door at night.
Yet another lotr thread where the OP pretends to be moronic. It's all so tiresome. Post OC homosexuals.

Seriously tho why do so many nazis flock to lotr when tolkein despised nazis and thought hitler was under demonic influence?
It's Americans mainly they lack a Medieval history for their country so have to pretend lord of the rings is folklore because other than that the closest they have to a patron saint is ronald mcdonald
Nazis have always been larpers that are bad at research
They’re just modern twitter “nazis”, aka children’s tv obsessed manchildren who don’t like the bipoc queers on their star wars shows so herald lotr as the saviour of the white race because aragorn just happens to not be a Black person
Did you even read your own picture? He never said any of what you claim.
>none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani

I'm getting mixed signals here
Putting the cart before the horse no? Part of what makes Indians sound funny to us is they're educated in an archaic form of english
I almost closed the image when I read that because I assumed it was a meme
Nobody was talking about nazis until you brought it up for no reason but to troll.
Seriously tho why do so many troons flock to Cinemaphile to spout off about 'nazis' on every thread?
They lust after pure aryan wiener and are trying to cope with their shame and self-loathing
it's not a plot hole, you're just a massive spastic
why were the gates even open? why not seal it shut in some way so that it is only accessed by sauron?
He was too arrogant to do that
How about a door? With a lock maybe? Too expensive for the Dark Lord of Mordor I suppose
THE ENTIRETY OF FRICKING MORDOR WAS A GIANT DOOR. THE WHOLE THING WAS SURROUNDED BY IMPENETRABLE MOUNTAINS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ORCS GUARDING THE MT. DOOM. THE ONLY SECRET WAY IN WAS GUARDED BY A GIANT ANCIENT SPIDER. THE SPIDER DID CAPTURE THEM, THEY DEFEATED IT. THE ORC GUARDS FRICKING CAPTURE THEM, THEY GOT AWAY. WHAT THE FRICK DO YOU THINK TWO ADDITIONAL GUARDS STANDING BY THE FINAL ENTRANCE WOULD DO?
>THE FRICK DO YOU THINK TWO ADDITIONAL GUARDS STANDING BY THE FINAL ENTRANCE WOULD DO
Save Sauron and usher in the Age of the Orc?
bro imagine being those orcs. They'd be set for life. Meat would be on the menu every day for the rest of their life and they'd be getting the sexiest orc-pussy around.
>tfw only the finest meats are on the menu now
>Frodo goes up to the door
>"Melon"
>Door opens
whoops hehe looks like I just defeated your little door, sorry kid!
Are the Nazis in the room with us right now?
>land is called More Door
>has no door at all
Bravo, Gurm
He did, but then he moronly told them to zerg rush the front gate.
He could but then they would have just climbed to the summit to throw it in. It wouldn't have changed a thing.
Yes it would have, they can’t climb a sheer face that steep. At that point the only way to get over it is if you bothered beinging the eagles
It wasn't very steep nor tall. They climbed both steeper and taller mountains getting into Mordor.

I see many very legitimate questions here in this thread. I have good news. All your questions will be answered in the second season of the hit Amazon original series, 'Rings of Power', premiering later this year! Stay tuned!
Okay I guess I'm going to have to explain the obvious once again:
There was literally nothing of monetary or strategic value in the mount Doom forge. It wasn't something that was intended for day-to-day use. You don't forge shit it mount Doom on a regular basis, it was a special location that Sauron probably hadn't even used since he forged the one ring. We see Sam and Frodo inside of it and there's literally nothing there except a stone walkway leading to a lava pit. That's not something you need to guard.
The one and only potential issue with it was that it was the means of destroying the ring but as is established repeatedly, that was almost impossible and was the last thing in the world he was worried about. Even if the person who bore the ring went on a suicide run to Mordor for some reason and managed to make it to Mount Doom the temptation of the ring would be too great and they'd refuse to destroy it. Isidlur and Frodo both have their chance and can't do it, and even when it is destroyed it's only by accident. No one would ever willingly choose to destroy it and if they marched into mount doom before declaring themselves the master of the ring like Frodo did they actually would have been doing Sauron a huge favor because they would have brought the ring right to him.
We gotta remember that even though it all worked out in the end the quest was *thsiclose* to being a complete and utter disaster that doomed middle-earth forever. If Frodo walks out of the forge with he ring on (which he was five seconds away form doing) the nazgul swoop him up, the last Kings of Gondor and Edoras die and Sauron rules the world for fricking ever. Gandalf bet it ALL on Frodo. It was kind of insane. The point is, guarding the door was pointless. If anything, leaving it open was a deliberate invitation. "Yeah, go ahead. Bring the ring here and see what happens. Even Isildur couldn't do it and you ain't him"
Sam and Elrond both willingly chose to destroy it. Just because 1 single human being in history was too tempted to throw it doesn't mean you don't put a goddamned door on your biggest weakspot assuming every human and every species on earth is also too tempted.
And also an eagle could've flown over and dropped it in.
Tolkien was a fricking hack.
>Sam and Elrond both willingly chose to destroy it
Sam and Elrond weren't in possession of the thing when the time came to actually do it and if they were it would have corrupted them exactly the same way. Frodo was no less moral and decent than Sam and the thing just took hold of him by the end anyway. Why do you think Gandalf refuses to even touch the thing and Galadriel sends it away instead of taking even though he tries to give it to her. Even the most powerful beings in Middle-earth wanted nothing to do with it because it was too toxic of an influence so good luck hoping some human overcomes its malign effects through sheer willpower.
And as for the Eagles thing, either it corrupts the eagles themsevles or it's just another variant of the exact same scenario I just outlined
>ride the eagle to mount doom
>get to the edge of the volcano
>try to throw it in
>realize you don't want to
>claim the ring and declare yourself lord of middle-earth instead
>oh hey it's all nine nazgul descending upon me all at once
>Sauron takes the ring from your corpse
It's been so long since Ive read it. Is the scene at mt doom described as having the neat doorway and bridge from the movie? As a kid I pictured a more organic interior like death mountain in zelda
