Why didn't Sauron just ask nicely for the ring?

>>81862118
Dark lords don't have manners.

Why didn't Galadriel just riverdance to mordor with the ring?

If Gandalf is so good at magic why didn't he just make the Ring disappear behind Frodo's ear where no one could find it

>>81862118
He literally did, but the Elves didn't want to give the rings they had created with his help, his knowledge and his supervision.

>>81862118
He did.

>"Then about a year ago a messenger came to Dáin, but not from Moria - from Mordor: a horseman in the night, who called Dáin to his gate. The Lord Sauron the Great, so he said, wished for our friendship. Rings he would give for it, such as he gave of old. And he asked urgently concerning hobbits, of what kind they were, and where they dwelt. "For Sauron knows," said he, "that one of these was known to you on a time."

>'At this we were greatly troubled, and we gave no answer. And then his fell voice was lowered, and he would have sweetened it if he could. "As a small token only of your friendship Sauron asks this," he said: "that you should find this thief," such was his word, "and get from him, willing or no, a little ring, the least of rings, that once he stole. It is but a trifle that Sauron fancies, and an earnest of your good will. Find it, and three rings that the Dwarf sires possessed of old shall be returned to you, and the realm of Moria shall be yours for ever. Find only news of the thief, whether he still lives and where, and you shall have great reward and lasting friendship from the Lord. Refuse, and things will not seem so well. Do you refuse?"

why didnt Aragorn just killed Sauron with a sword?

Why didn't they just get the dwarves to make a big pile of replica rings and then throw the ring into the pile of rings thus concealing it forever.

why didn't Gimli just destroyed the ring with his axe??

>>81862276
Because hiding it wouldn't help them, a Ring-less Sauron was already fucking everyone's shit up.

>Elves were the real villains all along

To the surprise of no one. Genocide when?

>>81862365
My quote was him asking Dwarves, as should be obvious to since it says "a messenger came to Dain."

>>81862399
Quoted you by accident. My bad.

>>81862365

LEAVE MOMMY CATE ALONE !!!

why didn't Sauron just block off mt. doom? you think he would try to cover up his biggest weakness.

>>81862300
Underrated

>>81862236
Except of course this is a lie. He gave the knowledge of ring making as a gift (he fucking literally called himself Lord of Gifts). He only wanted them back because the Elves figured out his plan and weren't wearing them. And he didn't ask, he sacked Eregion.

>makes the ring
>lose it
>was still going to win even without it
>only ends up losing because of the ring

is the ring the most useless piece of equipment in any fantasy novel?

>>81862118

G-d didn't teach him manners in the timeless void

>>81862526
If the ring didn't exist he would have never been able to recover after the Second Age.

>I'm supposed to know who Dain is

>>81862614
The quote literally has the word "Dwarf" mentioned, and in any case Dain appeared in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Presented in HDR 3D by Peter Jackson.

>>81862508
That's just propaganda made by Galadriel and Gil-galad; the elves did to Sauron exactly what Morgoth had done to them: steal their jewelry.
