Why didn't they just fly the eagles to Mordor?

>>84592511
Because they couldn't ride the eagles until they'd taken out the generators to prevent anti-air fire.

Because the point is the journey.

Gondor had very strict tariffs placed on the transportation of foreign air cargo following the implementation of Denethor's disastrous tax policy

this is a legitimately good question

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

Why didn't Sauron just collapse the entrance to Mt Doom? Or at the very least leave behind some orcs to guard it?

why didn't gandalf use his powers to teleport the ring to mordor?

Gandalf never uses any powers of teleportation because he doesn't have them. I don't think any magical being in any of the Tolkien stories had that ability.

Because of the eagle tax

why didnt they just throw the ring into the ocean?

What was Aragorn's tax policy?

Did he have a standing army?

what about that scene where Saruman had him floating a foot off the ground and rotating? if Saruman could do that to him you'd think Gandalf could do it to himself.

Why was sauron killed when a ring he made was destroyed?

the fellbeasts would fuck them up

>>84593771
That part always makes me laugh.

The eagles literally fucked the fellbeasts up at the end of the third movie iirc

Sauron was expecting them to use his ring against him, not for two gay hobbits to walk in his domain to destroy the ring.

Sauron would stay alive, breeding orcs and shit.

>>84593899
He concentrated all his assets into one portfolio instead of diversifying.

No, they were summoned to Barad-Dur when Frodo put the ring on his finger.

That one ringwraith that gets knocked off his mount when the Eagles attack always makes me laugh
