Why didn't the Groke just sit on Thingumy and Bob?

His was a peaceful science and rationalism based society, harnessing geothermal power to build an industrial revolution and help drag the primitive people of Middle Earth out of their warlike and superstitious existence. How was he to know that some magic loving hippy terrorists would wander in and try and fuck that all up because they would rather live in rural squalor and ignorance.

something like this, he didn't even think the good guys could try to destroy the ring

Sauron didn't think that anyone could actually destroy the ring and that they would always get corrupted.

He was fucking right. It's only due to divine intervention that the ring got destroyed.

He was too proud

Very "clever" reddit-tier "analysis" there buddy but Sauron wouldn't have been undone by "magic loving hippy terrorists" had he not made his super weapon with magic himself.

His 'super weapon'? You mean a small ring that drives hobbits mad? Perhaps if his equipment wasn't stolen by a bunch of retards that didn't understand it they wouldn't have fucked themselves over so hard. I'm sure if a bunch of tribal hunters stole your phone and then tried to destroy it because of your bohemian rhapsody ringtone freaked them out you'd be pretty pissed too.

The fuck you're on? Hobbits are nigh immune to the ring, save Frodo because he was stabbed with a magic blade, and then poisoned by the deadliest spider in all middle earth

>>8769094
are you telling me that the deadliest spider in middle earth is a joke compared to the tamest spider in australia?

i'm getting a little sick of tolkiens shit.

>>8768908
It's mentioned a few times throughout the books that he doesn't even consider that someone would want to destroy the ring, only use it. That's why when they catch frodo in mordor they don't go on high alert or even consider that he might have the ring, they just assume he's a spy.

"The Ring remains hidden, and that we should seek to destroy it has not yet entered their darkest dreams."
Any other dumb questions?

She's a slow-moving fat-ass, so she had to put up with the court case and trade the King's Ruby for the Hobgoblin's Hat. Plus, you don't want to get your tongue stuck to the Groke's grove.
