It looks more like you want him to ride a dick.
>>
>>36670373
Dick, eagle, whatever- point is, you don't need to send an army of midgets and retards to do this thing when you've got a biological fucking air force ready-to-go. Literally no need.

Because had Sauron realised their real plans, to destroy the ring, instead of using it, there would have been absolutely no hope for the forces of good. To the very end, Sauron was utterly convinced that Aragorn, having come to the gates of Mordor, was bearing the ring and was seeking to usurp its power to himself. Had Gandalf flown the eagles to Mordor, he would either have been tossed off by one of the eagles, seeking to take the ring for itself, been taken by Sauron and his forces, forfeiting the ring for good, or simply have been killed along the way.
The only reason Frodo and Samvais, even with their magic elven cloaks and tiny fucking Hobbit bodies and their natural stealth could get to Mount Doom was because Sauron thought Aragorn had the ring and was utterly fixated on him.

The Nazgul and their flying Fell Beasts would've attacked him if he tried to fly in on an eagle.

Reminder that Sauron did nothing wrong and that orcs were marginalized elves.

Orcs were like robots, think of it. They were created that way by abuse from elves.

And because it would have made a pretty boring story

Why did sarong think aargon had it if frodo used the ring multiple times?
>>
>>36671209
He could sense when the ring was being used and more or less where but he didn't know who used it at the time. Also Aragon tricked him into believing he was the bearer when he used that christal ball thingy if i remember correctly.
>>
>>36670356
Its speculated that they were on their eay to go do that, but, yunno that pesky balrog had to be a dick, which is why theres a whole debate on wether its 'run u fools' or 'fly you fools', i think i saw it was 'fly' in the books and subtitles, gandalfs last indication that thats where they were secretly going, and he couldnt telk anyone bc it was dangerous or some shit

Because Aragorn visited the ring conference thing, became king, defeated Sauron's armies and marched onto the black gate, personally calling Sauron out. It's absolutely what most people would have done and had done before. Sauron couldn't even understand that someone would NOT want power, like the hobbits did. It was utterly incomprehensible for him to even assume they would try to destroy the ring, forsake everything that Sauron and Melkor had held dear.
It's the main motif in the series, power, how it and striving for it corrupts everyone and everything.

>>36671329
>Its speculated that they were on their eay to go do that
And that speculation makes no real sense. Trying to fly into Mordor is a fool's errand and "fly" is used figuratively, not literally.

>>36670697
then who are the Chads?

>>36671430
How is it a fools errand? Its to fucking save middle earth?

And openly and brashly flying through the sky straight into Mordor, landing at Mount Doom and trying to rush inside with the ring is a plan that's never, ever going to succeed. Throwing away your only chance at defeating Melkor's legacy for good is foolish.

>>36671474
Elves and normal men. The orcs and trolls (fat robots basically) started a real beta uprising with their supreme gentleman Sauron.
I am not sure where dwarves fit into all of this.

>>36671520
You honestly dont think they could make it?

Failed normies that isolate themselves as a response

Of course they couldn't. Gandalf himself states in the books that the only hope they have is for Sauron to believe that Aragorn has the ring and is rising up to challenge Sauron's and the Ring's power. If Sauron knew about the hobbits sneaking in, as he would know about a bunch of giant magic eagles flying into his realm, they'd all be fucked six ways to sunday.
>>
>>36671576
Dwarves aren't failed at all though. They were created special by Aule or whatever the fuck his name was, because he wanted to create a bunch of living, breathing craftsmen in his own image, like !God had created the Elves and Man.
