Why didn't frodo just refluctuate the underlying particlulate neuronicle overversi to correspond with the quantum DNA...

This is what a Trump presidency will look like.

Captain. I recommend a full spread of torpedoes!

Because he lived in a council estate

Because that's a bad plan.
>2 Eagles
>Vs 9 ring wraiths, Sauron's siege defenses, and whatever tricks Sauron himself can devise against such an attack

Why didn't Frodo just eat the ring?

haha oh I get it, I get memes!

it would just come back out of his shitter

If the ring was so dangerous, and couldn't be destroyed by any means they had, why didn't those masterful Elven smiths forge some kind of casing over the ring so that the fellowship couldn't be tempted to put it on, it wouldn't be in direct contact with anyone, and it would be disguised? A metal orb, an egg shape, a broach or amulet, even a weapon of some kind. You could still cast it into the fires of Mordor at the end, because the covering would be simple metal or some other ordinary material. With the plan they had being one of subterfuge, and the Elrond and Gandalf's knowledge of the one Ring's properties, it's weird that they took no precaution similar to this.

Why didn't Gandalf just create a V2 rocket to fly to mount doom?
Nothing suggests that rocketry is impossible in Middle Earth

I want to see Tolkien's face when he reads this

He hasn't got much of a face anymore

Why didn't tolkien and lewis both just fuck off?

Prove it

>Implying the rings effects werent based on proximity and "ownership," directed by the rings own will to return to its master, or anyone strong enough to claim it.

Because V2 rockets were highly unreliable

You don't need to put on the ring to be corrupted, even carrying it on your body can cause side effects.

Covered in the books and movie. Sauron didn't need the ring to win. They needed to destroy it as their only hope of victory. If the battleat lorien and the lonely mountain hadn't happened then they would have destroyed the ring to find out the entire west had been burnt to the ground.

I should probably investigate this personally Data, broccoli might be up to something. Computer run simulation on holodeck 2, disengage safety protocols.

I think the idea is that the ring wants to be found, so taking precautions like that don't make a difference - it would always end up being a battle of willpower vs temptation
With this as a given, they Elrond and Gandalf were probably thinking why make the ring more cumbersome?

Frodo would've died since he wouldn't have got the chance to use the invisibility to save his life those few times.

It seems to make it worse though, and the fact that Frodo kept the Ring on his chest, and touched it, and gazed at it all the time. There's a limit to how close you can be to the object itself if it's completely encased. Given Boromir was corrupted to a degree just being in proximity, it wouldn't be 100%, but it would be a damn good precaution.

>Jordie

NORMIE LEAVE

Are you kidding? It caused problems more often than it solved them, because of the ring's effect, and because of the Nazgul's attunement to it.

I assume they would just become obsessed with getting the ring free

the eagles feel the need to mate with their riders so it is only a last resort

Just off the top of my mind Frodo would've been killed by the spider.

why didn't Frodo just swim to the volcano?

why didnt fredo just use the stealthcloak that he used to search for books in the forbidden part of the libary?

Yeah, but I mean literally forge metal around it. The ring won't be melted when you forge this, because no means of man or elves can even damage the ring, but if it's covered in another material, it's not easily accessible, and you wouldn't really want it to be, seeing as Sauron perceives the location of the ring-bearer when they put it on, and the entire mission relied on secrecy.

You mean Bilbo would have been killed by the spiders in the Hobbit. Frodo doesn't use the ring in Shelob's lair, he uses the phial of Galadriel, and if he had used the ring, Sauron would have known they were sneaking into Mordor, Ruining everything. It was Sam that Saved Frodo from the spider, and later the orcs, not the ring.

I'm princess leia? Fuck yeah! ! ! ! Woohoo!!!!!

>tolkien fanbois unironically believe there is an excuse for the eagles to not just fly them safely to Gondor where they could walk into Mordor from there, saving weeks of traveling and dangers.

here's a (you) for doing something different with this stale mem

Ring corrupts everything. You don't want a Boromir situation where Boromir is an eagle and you're flying above a mountain range.

The eagles carried bilbo when he had the ring and everything was all good.

...

And the ring wasn't as active back then. Or Bilbo would have been corrupted as fast as Frodo. The dwarves would also have been corrupted. Plus, nobody knew the ring was even there, other than Bilbo, who didn't know what it was.

>and because of the Nazgul's attunement to it.

How would encasing the ring prevent this? You don't have to put it on for them to find you.

>implying the ring would let you do that

Every time Frodo put on the ring, Sauron immediately became aware of it, and so did the Nazgul.

the point is that at some point one of the fellows would kill the other and try to melt the casing to get to the ring, or take the ring with the casing to gondor or whatever.

>large walls and orc archers utilized against something that could fly over all of it
If trying to imply one would use a trebuchet against a flying antagonist
>slow to reposition
>can take 2 - 5 shots just to sight in on a stationary target alone
>single projectile, that follows a relatively low velocity, high-arching trajectory that does not tend to deviate
>against something that can fly higher and fly away from the path which the slow rock is following
>9 ring wraiths with fellbeast
Eagles would have a higher absolute ceiling compared to fellbeast given that eagles are warm blooded and have insulating feathers. While fellbeast is reptilian in nature, cold blooded animals do not enjoy the cold.
Eagles also have a higher level of speed, stick Legolas on one of them and a flying lizard with a guy wielding a sword perched on its back likely won't fair well against the strafing.

Why didn't Gandalf just fly to the atmosphere with his broom and toss it into space?

>they dont use the eagles to fly over moria
dropped

shit fantasy films with vanilla direction

Why didn't frodo just stop doing meth?

the ring is nationalism, entente powers had multiple lesser versions of German nationalism

>Frodo not swallowing the ring, defecating into Sam's mouth then having Sam do the same and repeating the cycle daily until they reach Mt. Doom

why didn't they just throw the ring into a sleeping volcano so that nobody could ever have it?

The reason is mostly that the Fell Beasts could've found them really fast with the help of the eye, and that situation would've been fairly dangerous and the result couldn't be predicted
>inb4 ayy the eagles kicked their ass
You sure they knew this would happen?

Why didnt they get a specialist gondor soldier to sneak into mt doom using stealth, get a small cup of mt doom magma, send it through courier to rivendale via gandalf ftl horse then reheat the magma with elf forges
And drop the ring into the reheated mt doom magma, while everyone eats elven bread.

You're forgetting that Legolas one shots a Fellbeast at the end of the first book.

A single arrow takes them down

Sam did use the ring to sneak into Mordor though.

They explicitly say why they can't go to Gondor with the ring. Denethor would imprison the Fellowship til they hand it over (or just kill them because of Aragorn)

But he couldn't automatically find you. The Eye of Sauron isn't a literal giant floating eye, he can use the Palantir and you are visible to him while wearing it, but it's not like the films where it's like a giant homing beacon for a big flaming eye

That's a good question. I didn't know if forges could even melt rock into magma but it turns out most rocks have a melting point lower than steel, and obviously they can melt steel in Middle-Earth.
Checkmate Tolkien. Or should I say, TOLDkien.

Tolkien BTFO

The person forging the ring blocker would either take the ring for himself, kill himself before he could finish, or the ring would just change size so as not to fit.

>Cover it with titanium
>It doesn't melt when thrown into Mt. Doom
>But now it's stuck there and nobody can get to it
Sauron couldn't have thought of a better way to protect it if he tried.

It's not to do with temperature. The ring can only be unmade in the forge of Sammath Naur, inside Mount Doom (the Valar or Feanor could do it but they aren't around). Gandalf goes through this in the Shire.

>His face when everyone got duped

Technically speaking he stopped at the threshold of mordor and commented on what a bad idea it would be to step foot in sauron's land wearing the ring. Despite the ring encoraging him to do just that.

I know, Gandalf says even Ancalagon's fire couldn't have melted it. But if it was encased in something, it wouldn't be in contact with the lava. I think that would save it.

thats retarded

>People who don't believe in life beyond death
Lol ok, have a nice time not meeting based Tolkien in the afterlife
