NO TIME

Enough with this meme
There's a hundred different reasons why they couldn't just ride into Mordor

The eagles represent America, and America isn't going to do shit for you unless there's something in it for us.

Such as?

Nah it means they come to the rescue when the war is already won

fuck you

>Implying the eagles were somehow obligated to do whatever the Fellowship wanted
Honestly, the more surprising thing is that the eagles rescued the hobbits at all. Those eagles didn't have to do shit.

because the eagles were on a stag do

Neither did the hobbits or the elves and dwarves but just because no one is forcing you prevent the end of the world doesn't mean you shouldn't help out.

they were recording "Hotel California" until the end of the film

I love that literally NO ONE and I mean NO ONE, not even the most hardcore fans can debunk this massive plothole

geek and sundry has a good article for that.

Indeed, they could've flown close to Mordor, but what then? Flying into Mordor would've alerted Sauron and he would've bolstered the defences around Mt. Doom.
Let's face it though, even if they had supposedly gotten in Mt. Doom with the help of the eagles, what then? No one was strong enough to resist the charm of the ring inside the place it was forged in. The ring got destroyed because of the charm, they fought over it and only because of that did they succeed.
Eagles = No Smeagol

The entire point of The Lord of the Rings is a small group taking the ring to Mt. Doom so Sauron and his armies don't see them.

Nicholas Cage didn't steal the Declaration of Independence by riding his moteybike through the front doors of the National Archives.

What benefits would flying the ring to Mordor have other than saving time? Time was never a factor. If the fellowship had been running against the clock they wouldn't have dragged their feet leaving Rivendell, or have taken a month's vacation in Lothlorien.

Time wasn't an issue. What really mattered was that Sauron be given absolutely no indication of his enemies' true purpose. If he even considered that possibility he would have taken the relatively simple step of sealing the entrance to the forge.

The ring couldn't simply be dropped into the caldera, mind you. It had to be unmade in the forge.

the eagles were tired

why the wizard didn't shoot magic shit at the dragons?

>Time wasn't an issue.
The more time they hold the ring the more crazy you get, also the evil army winning from all sides

like what?

why would he fight a hobbit before throwing him in a volcano?
