Able to be corrupted is just one part of the problem. This isn't capeshit, the eagles aren't tireless, it would exhaust them to have to fly all the way to Mordor. And even if they could, they would be spotted miles before they reached the borders and attacked by the Nazgul and other creatures. Orcs guarding the forge would rain arrows on the eagles and block their entrance.
>it would exhaust them to have to fly all the way to Mordor
they mostly glide. stop and rest for a fricking hour. bring some hobbits as a snack. >attacked by the Nazgul
there aren't that many nazgul just bring more eagles >Orcs guarding the forge would rain arrows
just fly higher >block their entrance
drop it into the volcano from the top
>This isn't capeshit, the eagles aren't tireless, it would exhaust them to have to fly all the way to Mordor.
Just have a series of eagles like the flight paths in WoW.
eagles have amazing vision they could make it out from the bulge in the envelope or maybe the sunlight would shine through it a little or the ring would whisper to them
Because at that point, they wanted to be as clandestine as possible, but after frodo reached Rivendell and everyone being aware that the nine were out there, there was no point in that, so they went with dragnos n shiet.
Nazgul and Sauron would probably spot them and find a way to btfo them.
You could say that about the Hobbits too frankly, Sauron should have probably guarded his volcano better.
Why didn't frodo stick the ring up his butt? They woulda had to buttfrick a halfling to get it. Pure evil doesn't exist in middle earth, homosexuality doesn't exist as a concept in arda because it is pure evil
Because based eagles didnt give a SHIT about gondorpoors and their homosexual wars. >hurrr but if Sauron got strong eventually the eagles would get in trouble too!
Shut up nerd
They walked.
The magical giant eye sent his flying wraith friends at them anyway.
And because they walked they also had to deal with an insane army of orcs, trolls, evil humans, giant spiders, the balrog, swamps, cliffs, caves and fricking Gollum.
The eye was tricked because of the army at his gate. He thought they had the ring after the king showed himself.
The fellowship was small as to not attract attention in the first place.
It’s established very early on that Gandalf couldn’t carry it. He doesn’t touch or hold the ring a single time, closest he gets is when it’s on the floor in bilbos house.
>durrrrrr LotR is soooooooooo good >this argument comes up >moron mental gymnastics ensues
Face it, the entire story's forced. This argument's always been and always will be correct. They could have just wrapped the ring in fur or in a bag, or even an envelope, and just dropped it in.
>distract Sauron for 30 seconds >Gandalf and Frodo ride to the volcano with the ring covered entirely >"Drop it, manlet!" >Frodo gets a second of corruption >Gandalf smacks it out of his homosexual little hand >It drops in
It would be a shit story if they could just fly in with Gandalf without Sauron stopping them. Sauron would be either really weak or really lacking in perception.
This is the only correct answer, yeah. 100%. I agree with you. It would've been a shittier story. But anyone fighting the fact that it could've been solved quicker and easier is lying to themselves. The correct answer to that will always be, "True, but it would've been an awful story."
That’s not what he’s saying moron. He’s not saying it would have been an awful story so just go with the flawed logic. He’s saying the logic isn’t flawed, it would have been flawed to believe sauron wouldn’t see that coming and be able to stop it easily.
>That’s not what he’s saying moron
That's exactly what he said. He conceded the argument. Don't speak for him, loser.
No, I didn't "concede the argument", I'm saying that Sauron was powerful enough to see Gandalf riding an eagle towards him, carrying the ring. He was also powerful enough to stop this, which is why they formed a small fellowship in the first place, instead of breaching Mordor with force of arms.
Riding the eagles wouldn't have been stealthy at all and their ability to out-fight Sauron in Mordor would've been seriously in doubt. If they even got that far, that is.
I'm saying that Sauron in the story is not that weak. The good guys are constantly worried about spies.
Well he made his power dependent on a tiny piece of israeliteellery so that's a dumb mistake already. It's an eggs in one basket folly. He should be defeated for that error at the start of the second movie and they can focus on the less stupid Saruman for the rest of the movies.
In the books Saruman also created rings, and was wearing one when he revealed his betrayal. He called himself "Ring-maker". His plan was to work as an inside man in Sauron's counsel and further his own agenda and eventually betray him.
1. Gandalf could touch or carry the ring
2. The eagles are their own masters and don’t obey anyone
3. Sauron would have seen it and killed them with the fell beasts
Sauron was distracted by the war at his gate when Frodo carried the ring inside mt doom.
If the story had been Gandalf flying eagles to my doom, we would all complain that sauron wouldn’t just let this happen and would try to corrupt the eagles or kill them.
Why are people pissing their pants over this shitty AI image creator? Stable Diffusion was able to do this a year ago already, it did it better then and does it better now.
It's easier to use, it's normie friendly. With SD you need a bit more knowledge about computers (you have to know how to follow a few instructions on a website at the very least). With this new thingy you just write what you want, and a pic pops out, like magic.
>ib4 tolkiengays with their canned because the eagle are smart enough to get corrupted by the ring response
>Gandalf couldnt be trusted with it but some fricking giant eagles would be
Ok moron
Able to be corrupted is just one part of the problem. This isn't capeshit, the eagles aren't tireless, it would exhaust them to have to fly all the way to Mordor. And even if they could, they would be spotted miles before they reached the borders and attacked by the Nazgul and other creatures.

there aren't that many nazgul just bring more eagles
>Orcs guarding the forge would rain arrows
just fly higher
>block their entrance
drop it into the volcano from the top
>just fight a big battle bro
This is exactly what they tricked sauron into thinking they were doing, and they were fricking losing. Badly.
they won that battle moron
They were going to die until the ring was destroyed.
but they didn't, the entire enemy army was destroyed. they won.
>This isn't capeshit, the eagles aren't tireless, it would exhaust them to have to fly all the way to Mordor.

The Eagles are smart enough to get corrupted by the ring
Don't you mean dumb enough? If you were smart you wouldn't fall for it
soulful AI
YER A MAIAR HARRY
EAT LEAD YOU SLYTHERIN FRICKING SHITS he said calmly
The Eagles were smart enough that they’d be corrupted by the ring
How would they know there was a ring inside the envelope?
eagles have amazing vision they could make it out from the bulge in the envelope or maybe the sunlight would shine through it a little or the ring would whisper to them
The eagles only arrived at the volcano like four hours later
Yeah but he waited around for months
Four hours *after the ring was thrown in.
He could have arrived sooner if he was flying on an eagle the whole time
slow and steady wins the race
Okay? It would have still taken him four fricking hours to cross mordor
Ringwraiths can fly.
Okay? So bring like 20 eagles
They didn't have that ability yet in Fellowship
Because at that point, they wanted to be as clandestine as possible, but after frodo reached Rivendell and everyone being aware that the nine were out there, there was no point in that, so they went with dragnos n shiet.
They can walk too or fly while you walk.
Load a bunch of eagles with elven archers, dead so they're immune to that gay ass screeching.
Nazgul and Sauron would probably spot them and find a way to btfo them.
You could say that about the Hobbits too frankly, Sauron should have probably guarded his volcano better.
Brain rot from being blazed out of his mind on pipe weed all the time
Only answer that makes sense. Saruman actually accuses him as such, so there is evidence for this theory.
Saruman mocking Gandalf about the pipe addiction is like some random "dude weed lmao" calling you a degenerate stoner.
t. Sauronman
Why didn't a wizard as powerful as Gandalf just teleport himself or Frodo to the vulcano?
gandalf's biggest spell was literally a flashlight
That must have been a deadly flashlight considering what he did to the balrog.
the bridge cracked from its weight, it was just some shitty thin piece of rock
All of his magic is fake
Smoke and mirrors
"Not my problem" -an eagle
Why didn't frodo stick the ring up his butt? They woulda had to buttfrick a halfling to get it. Pure evil doesn't exist in middle earth, homosexuality doesn't exist as a concept in arda because it is pure evil
Because based eagles didnt give a SHIT about gondorpoors and their homosexual wars.
>hurrr but if Sauron got strong eventually the eagles would get in trouble too!
Shut up nerd
Yeah but wasn't Gandalf friends with the eagles? I'm sure he had some amount of pull.
Would you go risk your neck for some midgets you don't know, just because your weird friend is fricking them?
yea didnt think so
>hey giant eye, we are flying in the thing you want, please ignore us and don't send your flying wraiths at us ha ha
They walked.
The magical giant eye sent his flying wraith friends at them anyway.
And because they walked they also had to deal with an insane army of orcs, trolls, evil humans, giant spiders, the balrog, swamps, cliffs, caves and fricking Gollum.

Why doesn't Ukraine just send planes to Moscow?
Because we live in the era of drones? What a moronic question...
why havent they destroyed the kremlin yet?
What would that accomplish exactly? Putin isn't even there.
they could have made the map a bit bigger and label the churkas as harad.
what AI are u using for this? im trying to get some dreams to life with this stuff.

why didn't frodo just stretch his arms all the way from the shire to mordor and just drop the ring into mt. doom?
He did not know the way.
It’s established very early on that Gandalf couldn’t carry it. He doesn’t touch or hold the ring a single time, closest he gets is when it’s on the floor in bilbos house.

The ring still corrupted bilbo from his pocket

It comes up with images closer to what most people are expecting with their prompts. Less fiddling.

Ok that makes sense.
they're eagles not stealth bombers, they would be spotted and killed
these are the same eagles that avoid human settlements in fear of being shot at by regular ass bows
Why didn't Gandalf just fly like a witch using his staff to the mountain and throw the ring from there?
>Ian McKellen and his latest boytoy
Those postage fees are enormous, and we all know how cheap old people are
Eagles wanted way more gold than Gandalf could pay for
So the eagles are secretly israelites?
