Why didn't he just shoot an arrow into Isildorf's back?

>shooting fish in a barrel

i bet you think genders are equal to each other too.
god u fags are insufferable

Because that's kinslaying and it has never ended well for Elves

>>82954711
Because people have emotions and they were friends

Because the ring would make Isildur snatch the arrow out the arrow and then disintegrate Elrond with laser eye beams. Or it would just make him invisible and killable by Orcs. Some ring of power that was.

isnt destroying the ring more important than kinslaying?

No

How is he going to explain the murder to Isildurs massive army. Best case scenario, Elrond is exiled or executed. More likely is a war between Numenoreans and Elves.

Can regular stuff hurt you with the ring on? They never really specify. Isildur died when the ring fell off, but we've never seen if someone gets hurt while wearing it.

Maybe thats why Frodo had to be wearing the ring for the Wraith King to stab him

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

guess you missed the end of the series when golem bites his finger off while invisible

>kills Isildur
>takes ring
>become corrupt by its power

Also, I think in the book the significance of the ring was not known and they never got that close to destroy it.

Why couldn't he just say that he went mad and jumped in after the ring

why didn't Elron tell anyone about the ring since it ultra dangerous or some shit?
