If you were Frodo how would you get the ring to Mt. Doom?
If you were Frodo how would you get the ring to Mt. Doom?
I'd just throw it in the ocean and call it a day, desu
A catapult
i was thinking i'd just bury it real deep. if it ever does get found, i'll be long dead
I would have flown on the eagles to Mordor. It just seems like the most efficient way to do it.
I would have said fuck that you keep the ring and went to sleep.
Me? I'd serve crab legs.
How does that kill Sauron though?
I'd try to sneak in under cover, either by myself or with just one trusty friend. And preferably with a guide who's done it before.
I don't know why nobody ever thought of doing it that way.
Do you happen to know any eagles?
if it really was so goddamn important one of the eagles could have soared right above the thing and just straight up dive bombed into the volcano. one eagle could have saved thousands of lives
He would drown
It doesn't.
It just stops him from getting the ring (at least for my lifetime), which will probably keep him out of my comfy Shire.
when they needed to transport the hope diamond to a new buyer they just sent it via the regular air mail a month before they announced the sale
Eyes don't have lungs tho
Good luck convincing an eagle to do that.
They are nature demigods, fiercely proud, and extremely egotistical.

If Harry Potter was asked to do this task, he'd just mind control an eagle and ride him to Mordor. Or just say "Accio Mount Doom" and throw the ring in it. Because he's an actual wizard unlike that squib Gandalf.
The salty water would sting
Gandalf is a god, m8e pot8e
Call him whatever you like, he's still a squib compared to a 17 year old Harry Potter.
Not at all. He's just gimped by Illuvatar, because the last time the gods were allowed to fight with their full strength they sank the world into the seas by accident.
Being a squib is better than being in the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
Nice excuse to not do anything other than light up your stick
Well, that's literally all Harry Potter does too, despite going to school to learn magic :^)
Oh, and expelliarmus. After three(?) years?
Well done, boy. Well done. 5000 points to hero house.
>this whole line of reasoning
It's not the eagles problem that men and elves didn't kill him when they had the chance. You reap what you sow.
Yeah nah you forgot all the teleporting and summoning stuff and covering his enemies with boils
I still say its a stupid idea.
Priority AM delivery to the cracks of doom. UPS delivers anywhere.
>teleporting
Not before he was 17, after years and years of school.
>summoning stuff
Yeah, I guess that's a nifty party-trick.
>covering his enemies with boils
What? I don't remember him ever doing that.
He gave malfie deep lacerations with a spell he stole from Snape, but that's it.
Also, despite not learning more htan 3-4 spells throughout all his time at Hogwarts, he does use one of the forbidden spells to torture someone. What a cunt.
I'd ask eagles for help.
>after years and years of school.
Because they don't allow it before, dingus.
>What? I don't remember him ever doing that.
I hate the movies so I don't remember if it was in them, but he used it several times on Malfoy and his friends. The movies generally omitted a lot of the magic usage and classes.
1. You don't know they exist
2. You don't know where to find them
3. You don't speak eagle
4. They'd peck you to death and eat you
Why is Atlas Shrugged in God-tier? Switch Ulysses and AS and you've got a real list.
Of course Frodo knows the eagles exist, Bilbo told him about them, even fucking Merry and Pippin knew about them
What if Treebeard wore the ring?
Nazgul have flying mounts brah
>hide ring inside anus
>dress as orc
>walk into morder
>INSPECTION!
>hope they don't inspect the anus area
>run up mount doom
>squat over the edge
>shit the ring out
>fly eagle back to the shire
He'd just use it as a fertilizing agent, to grow a bit faster.

>ANUS INSPECTION DAY, MAGGOTS
what do?
>be a manlet
>not allowed in their troops
>get used as the easterlings sex slave
