This is a bait thread, like every other one you've made so far but for the sake of it I'll explain it again.

The Eagles are only in Middle Earth to act as the Wardens of the Elves, especially Elrond and Galadriel, on behalf of the Valar (Gods, essentially). They're not responsible for the fate of Middle Earth nor even the fate of the Elves. Their only task is to keep a check on them, without interfering too much, if at all.

Then why did they come to Gandalf's aid on those 2-3 occasions, you ask? Because the Eagle King owes the Grey Wizard a debt that cannot easily be repaid.

and of course that warrants playing taxi service when gandalf or a bunch of dwarves need a lift to steal some gold back, but not when the fate of the entire world depends on it
>>
>>85280197
I know this is a troll, but there are seriously people who have this line on thinking....

Because, as all good movies/books/etc., it's about the journey the characters take, it's about the changes they go through mentally, emotionally and physically. The ring is nothing more than a tool for the characters development.

That's why the stories don't matter as much, everyone goes through the same shit in their lives, the same shit happens to everyone; dealing with family and childhood, getting together and breaking up, cheating and being cheated on, finishing school, working, selfishness, jealousy, ego, having children, not having children, getting a job, losing a job having someone close die, etc.
The same shit, with some variances, happens to everyone, experiences and stories are not special, fascinating or interesting, it's how someone deals with them and how it changes them which is.
>>
>>85282443
The Eagle king owes the Grey Wizard a debt that cannot easily be repaid

so why can't gandalf just ask them for help to taxi the ring then you fuck

and whyd they come help at the end?

>>85282443

Notice that they only appear to save Gandalf or save someone on Gandalf's behalf.
>Saving Thorin, Gandalf, Bilbo + Company from the Warg riders
>Saving Gandalf from Saruman's captivity
>Saving Gandalf + everyone else at the Battle of the Black Gate
>Saving Frodo + Sam from the fires of Mount Doom

It's not about pride or any rules/codes etc. It's just not their responsibility to save Middle Earth or even help saving Middle Earth. Their King was only repaying the debt he owed to Gandalf.

That's it.

Literally because the author, J.R.R Tolkien didn't want them to.

>>85280403
Because they had the element of surprise. As soon as Sauron saw them (and he would), it would be all over. The only reason Frodo and Sam got as far as they did because Sauron didn't know they were coming.

They needed to go on the journey because in the end the most worthy candidate to drop the ring in is whoever can carry it all the way there and remain a sane person by the end of it. If you just drop whoever you think is the most qualified person off at the mountain, and they fail, you've just taxid the ring over to evil for nothing and fucked everything up. The journey is the proving ground. The Fellowship of the Ring was made up of various races for a reason. It turns out a little innocent Hobbit actually worked, but it couldn't just be a random Hobbit, Frodo wasn't prepared to do it at the start of the journey, it was only after he went through the journey that he was ready.

He wasn't though.

>>85282789
He was battered to hell but not really corrupted by evil to the core, someone truly corrupted would have been delighted to leave with it. Frodo held on until the end and didn't even make it back out of the mountain before he lost the ring and it got dropped. Compare his composure to the last person who refused to drop it in.

It's not a joke. It's pointing out how retarded the notion that literally anything is utterly corrupted the moment it comes into contact with the Ring. You may as well be arguing that Bilbo's pocket was corrupted to evil as well.

That's retarded. The ring corrupts. Magic, in general, can do and affect virtually anything. A magic that forces something to behave or move in a certain way is entirely different from a magic that corrupts a moral being and turns them to evil.

Not him but no, Middle Earth "blowing up" would not kill Gandalf. He would just be sent back to Valinor and have to explain why he and the other Istari failed their mission.

>>85280293
The Eagles would be corrupted and take the Ring for themselves - Frodo and crew become an in-flight snack before they they nuke Sauron. Then comes 10,000 years of darkness as every other race has to hide underground to escape the aerial terror on the surface world above. Everyone become dorf.
>>
While I appreciate the proud memeing heritage of this thread, the reason is simple enough.

Sauron would've seen that shit coming. The only reason he didn't notice Frodo and Sam in Mordor is because the heir of Elendil appeared at the head of a powerful host, with Gandalf the fucking Maiar at his side, and all that remained of Numenor's strength, which he once feared so greatly.
If the eagles just carried Frodo to Mordor, Sauron would've prepared a ton of defenses and had Mount Doom locked the fuck up tighter than a drum. His arrogance was his undoing, but even that wouldn't be enough if he wasn't incredibly distracted by Aragorn and Gandalf.

Because Manwe is fucking retarded.

It took Morgoth killing pretty much everyone in Beleriand, destroying and/or enslaving pretty much every major kingdom and driving what was left of the Elves and Men on the continent to the sea for them to decide they should maybe intervene. And even then, it was only after Earendil sailed to Valinor on a fucking flying ship and begged them for help. Though given that that ended with Beleriand catastrophically sinking beneath the sea, that hesitance to intervene may be somewhat warranted.

The eagles are really only on Middle Earth in the first place to act as Manwe's eyes and ears. They're not there to intervene, that's what the Istari are there for, though some good that did.
>>
>>85280197
>>85280241
>>85280293
The eagles can't be contacted reliably and don't answer often at any rate. Furthermore, Sauron himself commanded the miasma of Mordor, which kept all flying things out. The Nazgul mounts were contingencies if anything.
>>85280330
She cared less than the eagles and did not trust her power against a trapped Sauron.

They do intervene though

>>
>>85287531
How does a contrivance mean he's shit at writing?

You morons act like the Eagles were passenger jets, and all Frodo and co. had to do was purchase a ticket at Rivendell and board their all-express flight to Mount Doom. The Eagles are sentient beings, and servants of Manwe. They don't answer to anyone in Middle-Earth.

Moreover, how the fuck would the Fellowship have asked the eagles for help in the first place? They live on top of a fucking mountain, the only way to get to their eyrie is flying.
>>
this is the extent to which the Nazgul "fought" the Eagles:

>Straight down upon the Nazgûl [the Eagles] bore, stooping suddenly out of the high airs....
>But the Nazgûl turned and fled, and vanished into Mordor's shadows, hearing a sudden terrible call out of the Dark Tower; and even at that moment all the hosts of Mordor trembled....
>>
>>85287747
You realize that every time they intervene, it's just to save Gandalf, right?
>And Melkor is literally the gods fault in the first place
Which is a recurring theme. Saruman was sent to Middle-Earth by the Valar, and he winds up joining forces with Morgoth. Which is exactly why they're hesitant to intervene at all.
>Tolkien just couldn't write
You just can't read.

Because God doesn't solve your problems for you, but will act as your shepard and shield you from destruction if you follow his heart in your pursuits.

At the end of RotK when they had put in 100% of their faith and will into the mission to defeat Sauron but it looked like they were going to lose anyway, God stepped in. He expects you to do everything on your own but if the "natural" state would be for you to fail even if you legit gave 100% of everything you had, he will make a path for you to succeed. Most of the ending of RotK is pulled almost directly from the Bible. The Battle at the Black Gate is a retelling of the story of Gideon btw.

1 Corinthians 10:13
>There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 John 4:4
>Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 5:4
>For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

People are going to poop on you in an effort to be edgy internet atheists, but this is probably the most insightful post in this thread. Thank you.

Thank you anon. For a long time I had trouble figuring out why The Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest selling books of all time. As a lot of people point out, Tolkien is not a "great writer" by the average Normie standard who thinks A Song of Ice and Fire is top notch writing, but is instead fairly straightforward in it's prose and presentation.

Why I think LOTR is so popular then is because Tolkien "got" mythology and was capable of pulling out the very, very powerful themes from ancient stories. As I'm pretty good at this myself and having read both LOTR and (have been working my way through) the Bible, I'm realizing that the LOTR is in largepart Christian stories and mythos repackaged in a cool pagan setting, which is what gives it such tremendous power and appeal.

I mean even if you just take it at a secular level the story of Genesis through Revelation is arguably the greatest piece of literature ever made, and Tolkien (whether consciously or not) just took that and condensed it down into a cool fantasy novel.

There is no god.
Christianity and the rest of your culture is going extinct in the next 100 years.

Lol

Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion in the world. You people don't breed, with atheism being almost guaranteed genetic death as you people live a life of mindless hedonism and die surrounded by pets and useless materialist garbage.

Demographically Christianity is doing fine. Western birthrates overall are low because retard atheists don't have children and once all of them die of the Amish, Mormons and fundamentalist Baptists are going to be having 5 kids each and ensure the future belongs to us.

I hope you live a long, loooonnnng life just so you can be ruled over by a bunch of puritanical Christians. Hope you're not gay! :^)

Mennonites and Amish have higher birthrates than Muslims in the west, and their birthrates aren't dependent on the existence of the (financially insolvent) welfare states they leach off of.

Enjoy seeing sodomite marriage repealed and pot re-criminalized faggot.

Never ever cuck. Your retarded ilk allowed this to happen in the first place because you simps can't even read your own book.

If you're a burger you're a lost cause already. Bunch of Marxism infected mongrels.
