So why doesn't Sauron turn invisible when he's wearing the ring?

So why doesn't Sauron turn invisible when he's wearing the ring?

The invisibility tax is too high.

Cuz he actually knows how to use it.

Obamacare is repealed so Sauron will do just fine.

tell me more about Sauron's health care plan

So is this a comfy LOTR or taxposting thread?

both!

Can it not be both?

because sauron is actually hell

Why didn't they tax the owner of the ring?
That way, people would want to get rid off it faster

What's with the Hitler salute?

give me a quick rundown on this tax meme

>>tfw Sauron has less then 50 million orcs intentionally so that he doesn't have to give them 401ks or healthcare benefits

>it's not.your authority to deny.the tax return of the king!

Sauron, like Tom Bombadil, isn't a mortal, but a powerful spirit. It just doesn't have that effect on him. But someone wearing the ring long enough turns into a (weak) spirit who'll live in the "Void" under Sauron's eye eternally.

Rings only turn you invisible if you're a manlet, if you're a 6'8 metal man then it makes you even more metal

This has been established a thousand times already. The ring only enhances the natural powers of the wearer. Hobbits are good at sneaking and hiding, that's why they become invisible when they wear it. We only see hobbits in the movie wear the ring and they become invisible. This is where this misconception comes from. Galadriel and Boromir didn't want the ring to become invisible, but because they would have become insanely powerful. Read the goddamn books.

thanks for the explanation, but do hobbits have any kind of stealth ability?
if a dwarf was good at sneaking, would he become invisible too?

WRONG. Boromir, like Isildur, would have turned invisible too. Galadriel is and elf, and so a half-spirit like Gandalf, which is why they'd be different.

This. Can someone break down the list of abilities each race would have?
>Hobbit - invisibility
>Elves - strength beyond immortality
>Humans - ?
>Dwarves - ?
>Orcs - ?
>Wizards - ?

The explanation I gave is actually wrong. I wrote it so some Tolkien autist would get triggered and give the real answer. It had something to do with entering the spirit world when you put on the ring.

>(((Dwarves))) : media, economy, and politics manipulation powers

>Humans - taxonomy

So in LOTR universe they'll have the power of manipulation and wealth? Since pretty much The Hobbit is about the Dwarves kingdom and wealth.

>>Elves - video game acrobatics and bullshitery

Stop posting this dribble you dunce

can someone explain this a bit?
i see that you didn't watch the hobbit

Probably the most useless ring ability. The fuckers already do stupid acrobatics and already highly skilled at archery.
What skill/powers would they have to surpass that if they had the ring?

How come Gandalf, his whole job being to destroy sauron, didn't know how to recognise the ring

The real quesion is

you mean the roman salute

is he able to fuck me qts or not?

Yeah that's kinda dumb. Pipe weed lmao

they even have a jewish star in the throne
erebor is israel and smaug is palestine/islam who attacks the west/dale because we helped them

to stop being fags

because a galaxy far far away was actually 1930's germany

it's not touching his skin, it's on the outside of his armor glove

it's a big plan

what if you pick up the rings with your bare hands without putting it on your finger? it still touches your skin, shouldn't it make you invisible right away?

How many times do I have to correct you faggots on the Dwarvish Jewish comparison? The Dwarves are clearly the Swiss. They are incredibly insular and don't care about meddling in the affairs of others; they're content to just fuck off with the gold.

Why didn't sauron put a shield on his ring hand

We are wanderers and shiet we dont belong anywhere we need to retake our land from the evil and we like jewels
They even had a star of david ln the throne of Erebor m8

It's extremely expensive

Am I the only that thought he was some kind of reptiianoid or a dinosaur because of the name?

Why didn't Sauron make a newer, better ring?

The numenorean flag had stars on it doesn't mean they were Jews who lost the homeland and came to middle earth to subvert the goyim.

Wow, it's that one guy who thinks he is 100% correct about something that he misheard from somewhere and believes it with arrogant conviction. Kys

SEVER THE TAIL TO WEAKEN THE BEAST !

if the ring changes size when you put it on, why didn't they just put it on a flea's leg? or even a virus' wiggly arm.

>it's that one guy who thinks he is 100% correct about something that he misheard from somewhere and believes it with arrogant conviction

Ought to fit right in.

That's literally not true you literal homofag. We literally see Isildur literally be invisible when wearing the ring. Please literally go kill your literal self

It was a nondescript gold ring among thousands. And there are other harmless magic rings, not just the rings of power

To be perfectly candid, user, I never personally felt that way but there's that about the lucid straightforwardness of your idea which completely disarms scorn.

>>Humans - strength and agility
>>Dwarves - money lending and endurance/constitution
>>Orcs - strength/agility
>>Wizards - UNLIMITED POWER

Why didn't they put the ring on a balrog just for the lulz?

...

Did u not see the fucking movie?

the idea of the thing having confidence in what it imagines to be its stealth while its great stomping feet generate as much noise as ever and sparks/embers become visible as they fall off its body raises a dry smile

does it still work if you wear it on your cock?

Why did Sauron even make the One Ring? He just put all his power into it, it was basically a phylactery, no? But why would a Maiar (sic?) need one if they are immortal? Was it a way to power himself up, which he could only accomplish through making a ring? Then why didn't he just make a better ring after he lost the One?

He created the One ring to subdue, corrupt and control the wearers of the others rings

Sauron is basically the textbook definition of a control freak who valued order (by his hand) above everything else. The One Ring was a way for him to establish dominance over the powerful bearers of the lesser rings that he gave away. It worked on the Human and Dwarf kings.

>It worked on the Human and Dwarf kings

It didn't go according to plan with the dwarves though but the effects were disastrous none the less.

also Sauren is defined as being different from Melkor because he desires to dominate life where Melkor desired to just be recognized as lord of the earth itself

>But why would a Maiar (sic?) need one if they are immortal?
They're immortal but not invincible. If I recall correctly they could still die, but when they did, they would basically become ghosts that couldn't interact with the world. Like a breeze. That was ultimately Saurons fate after the rings destruction.

Sauron was a spirit. When spirits create things, they pour some of their essence into material world. It was one of they causes of downfall of his former master, Morgoth poured so much of his essence into Arda thatvit weakened him. So Sauron just put his essence into the ring, thanks to that he did not needed to pour his essence into Arda to influence it
Second reason was because lesser Rings were bound to the One, he designed itbthat way, and wanted to use Ones influence toit control other bearers and rule other races by this proxy, by elves saw through that

>elves saw through that
And secreted the rings away. Dwarves greed was increased 100X and they sealed themselves away looking for treasure, while the humans became the nine.

He was also affiliated with the god of crafting in the beginning so making rings and shit was like, totally his thing.

So why Lois doesn't turn invisible in this moment?

Stop this at once.

Why didn't Sauron send 5,000 Corsairs along the coast of the Western Sea to attack the Shire in secret after learning of the One Ring being found there? He could have wiped them all out and probably killed the last of the Dunedain all at once. Then sent up the Ringwraiths to collect the Ring in case the Corsairs tried to fuck him?

Shire isn't close enough to sea.

>land ship on shore
>march to Shire

???

>get into full scale war with elves from Rivendell and Dunadain
>hobbits escape, good luck ever finding the one faggot who had the ring now

how come the ringwraith couldn't detect the ring when it was literally four feet under his nose?

if it has to be worn to be detected then just burying it in a deep hole would be a perfectly adequate way of getting rid of it.

Sauron would win even without the ring

For you

>responding to pasta

but aragorn had an army of invincible super ghosts

>Without the army of super ghost Middle Earth is fucked
How do you think they will do without super ghost?

They woyldnt be able to defeat him and were bound to fight only one fight, theyd fuck off after the first battle and sauron had many armies. And even if theyd defeated him somehow, it would only delay Sauron, as long as ring existed he would came back

Why did Sauron want to rule Middle Earth anyway?

So ok, he is in charge now, what is he gonna do? Watch orcs around for the rest of eternity? Do nothing?

>Believed this for years but everyone saying it's wrong
ruh roh

He was basically an autist, he wanted to arrange everything into an order because he thought creation was too chaotic, and the only way he could do it was to became a master or all beings. But eventually he lost his way because thats what the ring does to you and ruling became an end in itself for him

because he exists in both planes
the ring just sends you into the other

kill yourself their language is even semitic

It's common knowledge dwarves were at the very least partially inspired by the yids

He also wanted to be or play at being a creator god, and needed to accumulate such great might (ie unify middle earth as he basically had the north, east and south) so the Valar wouldn't dare attack him of fear of destroying the elves and man.

The ring picks your best trait and buffs it by 200%.

So hobbits turn invisible, wizards become elder god tier powerful, etc.

>Why didn't Sauron make a newer, better ring?

He put all of his magical power into the ring so if he was destroyed somehow he could keep coming back.

Isuldur was a coward, that's why he turned invisible.

M O N G

Why didn't aragorn get half the ghosts to save gondor, and half to fight at the black gate

thats literally just wrong you dumb faggot

>He also wanted to be or play at being a creator god
That was Morgoth

How bad does is suck to be respawned as a fucking building.

this
I hate plebs talking about tolkien - so many meme interpretations

Because they had all sworn the same oath back when they were alive and that was not "We'll attack the black gate mate"

Was there an army of super ghosts in the books? I totally forget.

It's the biggest ongoing meme in every comfy LotR thread. Every god damn thread some retard throws it out there

Yes. Aragorn uses them to kill the corsairs so that he can lead the forces of southern Gondor to Minas Tirith up the Anduin

he's a poor limited creature who imagines ruling a landmass probably smaller than the united states will make him a big man. big maia.
