because smaug eat them before lotr

You literally just copied a post from the last thread. A real question would be, if the ring can change sizes, why didn't it just get slightly smaller when someone wore it so that they can't take it off so the nazgul find them easier?

why didn't aragorm and arwen fuck in those dreams tho

Those are just dreams son. You gotta do it physically for it to count.

The ring was lost and before it was found the dwarves died out for digging too deep

But who would pay the bill?

Why didn't they build a time machine and send a Terminator back to kill Sauron before he invented Skynet?

Because then the lava would flood the hole.

You sound like you never played Minecraft.

OR why wouldn't it get so large that they physically couldn't move it? Nazgul would have had an easier time if it was house sized.

Why didn't they carve another mountain, fill it with lava, call it mt Doom 2 and drop the ring there?

Because Sauron has a copyright on the name Mt. Doom

why didn't the orcs just dig a hole to breach into helm's deep?

One cannot simply dig into Mordor.

But he was basically dead for a few thousand years, surely it would have become public domain by then?

Because its foundation is the white mountains themselves. Its part of the reason it was such a tough nutto crack, theres only one way in and one way out, and the fortified the fuck out of it.
Plus this was the first time saruman was moving his forces openly so they would have had to waste time digging out a tunnel while Gandalf and Eomer would turn up and ride into them while everyone in helms deep comes out to help.
The name of the game was speed. The only one with time on their side was sauron.

>Implying the patent office isn't in mordor

Why do the corpses in Moria look as if they had been dead for decades?

Why didn't they just have Legolas snipe the Nazgul from far away?
Why didn't any warriors get a sex change to kill the head Nazgul?
Why didn't they just extinguish Sauron's eye with some rain?
Why didn't Frodo disguise himself as an Orc from the get go?

>Why do the corpses in Moria look as if they had been dead for decades?
They've been dead, in many cases, for centuries. The actual release of the Balrog is like a millenia before fellowship of the ring. The thing in the hobbit movie where the dwarves try to go back and get killed by Azog is like 250 years prior. The remains of Balin's group, that they find on their way out, have been dead about 20 years.

Oh, thank you for that answer! I never fully understood why.

I guess from watching The Fellowship and hearing Gimli speak fondly of Moria, I thought he had known someone who lived inside recently.

>I thought he had known someone who lived inside recently.
He did. Balin and a few of the other dwarves from the hobit were granted a charter to try and recolonize moria. Initial reports were positive but then they lost contact. They set out after they reclaimed the lonely mountain.
Gimli is distraught because he was holding out hope that they were all still alive. His father, gloin was one of the dwarves that were with thorin, so they're practically family at this point.

well, balin was his father's cousin, and gloin was his uncle, they were literally family.

Why didn't Gandalf use his direct line to Manwe and ask him to call in big guy Eru to either destroy Sauron outright or teleport Frodo to the edge of Doom so he can chuck the ring in and be back in The Shire before second breakfast?

meant oin actually

>before second breakfast
>doing anything
Get a load of this Man.
