Why didn't they just drop the ring in the bottom of a deep cave or into a river lmao. There's no way anyone would be able to find it again.

Nice try, Gollumn
They kind of covered that.
Fish monsters would get it
Lock it in an iron chest and dump it in the middle of the ocean. Boom problem solved
did you even watch the movie? Sauron is strong enough to locate the ring anywhere in the world while it still exists.
Why didn't some of Gandalf's eagles fly them to Mordor?
In the book the eagle says "I can't go too far Gandalf, where do I drop you off?"
In the books the eagles fly to mordor anyway.
but without "cargo"
Eagles use less fuel the higher they fly.
Taxis won't protect you from Nazgul.
The eagles are described as being very proud, which means they are vulnerable to the ring's influence. Imagine the Boromir scene but he's a bird the size of an SUV.
The eagles are one of the original beings of that world, though a bit less powerful than Gandalf but paired with their pride, they're very weak against the ring's influence and very powerful with it. It would be too dangerous to let them near the ring for too long.
1) The eagles owe Gandalf a favor, they're not his pets
2) The eagles aren't dumb beasts, they're intelligent and would want an explanation for why they're supposed to carry a bunch of people into Mordor
3) The eagles are susceptible to the ring's corruption
4) The whole point of the mission was to do it in secret and flying eagles into Mordor would be a dead giveaway as to what they were doing
5) Sauron has flying servants of his own and they would just get taken down
The ring has power which can encourage events to get back to Sauron.
If you dropped it in the ocean the currents would somehow carry it onwards.
If you dropped it in a cave a creature would find it.
The point of them destroying it is that you can never truly hide it forever.
Yeah dude the ring is totally going to make ocean currents move an iron safe at the bottom of the ocean. Are you insane? The ring can do shit like change its size and influence those around it, it's not fricking omnipotent.
>the ring would be found because...it just would be, ok????
frick off
Why didn't Tolkien throw some sea monsters into the saga?
>can't throw it into the sea
>kraken retrieves it
Isn't Erä flat? What about dropping it from the edge of the world?
>Isn't Erä flat?
from a certain point of view
not after those Numenorians ruined the party for everyone else
They had to destroy the ring to destroy Sauron. Otherwise he would just keep coming back and eventually win
If the ring was lost then Sauron would be free to roll over Middle-Earth with his colossal war machine.
>with his colossal war machine
what a weird name for a penis
It's not that weird
Yeah, just drop it into the bottom of a river. It would totally be lost forever if you just threw it in a river. As we know, absolutely nothing would be able to find the one ring at the bottom of a river.
even if you ignore the ring having a mind of its own, they need to destroy the ring since it woudl cripple Sauron who was starting to take over
>Cum on the ring
>None of the bad guys can pick it up because then they're gay
Literally this easy
What about a catapult?
>main bad guy is named sauron
>his 2nd in command is named sauron's man
bravo, hackson
