Why didn't they just smash the ring with a big axe or something?

Nice try memeing, now go back.

why didn't they just throw it in another volcano? Or is Mt Doom the only fucking volcano in the Tolkien Universe?

It’s because Mt Doom is where is was made you mongrel

aaand?

>Mt Doom the only fucking volcano in the Tolkien Universe
yes

it is said the only place that the ring could be undone is the mt doom

Nigger they tried that, did you even watch the movie

Fire ain't hot enough only Doom burns that hot. It's not just fire or lava but actual magic in Doom that lets the ring be undone. It's not a normal volcano.

By whom? How would they know?

How the fuck is Sauron or fucking anyone gonna grab the fucking ring if it's covered in lava at the bottom of a volcano fucktard? Even if it is only meltable in Mt Doom what the fuck is Sauron gonna do if it's another Volcano

magic it out genius

Why didn't they just keep the ring safe in the hobbit village, go to the mountain without everyone chasing after them, bring some of the lava back to the village in a thermos and then pour it on the ring?

how is Sauron gonna magic it out if he needs the fucking ring to attain physical form in the first place? If he just sends a minion to magic it out then the minion gets to have the ring defeating the entire fucking purpose

why didn't he magic it out while frodo was carrying it

THAT was actually tried

I'm not sure if you're memeing or serious, but the answer is that if the ring would not be brought to the place where it was forged - being the only place where it could be destroyed - Sauron would eventually, in time, conquer all od middle-earth

Amortize the ring

forgot pic

how did they know it could be destroyed only in mordor

they didn't even try hitting it with two axes at once

Why didn't they make an axe made of rings and destroy it with that?

Reddit

Why didn't they just make 100 million identical rings and distribute them around Middle Earth so Sauron would never find out which one was the real one because it would take too long to test them all?

what would happen if someone just swallowed the ring?

Even without the ring Sauron is still a major threat.

He would be cut open by a angry nazgul

Why didn't they steal some of Mt Doom's lava, bring it back to Rivendell, then melt the ring there?

If it can change size why didn't the ring just grow to 20 stories tall and be found immediately?

It would get (painfully) pooped out. This happened to me when my dog swallowed my moms wedding ring.

fucking this. They could have magiced out some Mt. Doom lava and used it as a contingency plan. Why the fuck didn't Elrond think of that when Isildur got ring cucked?

...

why wouldn't they just ride an eagle straight to mt doom and throw it in the lava? it would have taken like a couple hours.

why didn't they just use magic to throw it towards the sun, since gravity would eventually pull it into a super hot fireball in space

why didn't they just find a whale and feed the ring to it then made a spell that kills the wale randomly while it's out in the deep ocean fucking Suaron would be spending billions of hours trying to find a tiny ring in the middle of the ocean

the dog swallowed the ring and you pooped it?

why didn't they fly millions of eagles to Mt. Doom so they'd be confused as and couldn't find the one with the ring while Frodo secretly went on foot with the real ring?

Strange are the wizard's ways

Yeah but he only got like one good whack in.

why didnt they try a bigger axe then

they could have just had Frodo Tied to the biggest eagle with Gandalf making an arrow defence spell and have them suicide dive into Mt.Doom for the good of the Middle Earth

...

why didnt Frodo just buy an Eagle? He was the richest Hobbit in the Shire for fucks sake, Eagles cant be that expensive.

why didn't they dig up a silmaril and give it to sauron to make the edgy elves from valinor come and fight him?

Shit attempt. The eagle one is actually worth talking about, only because the movie doesn't really explain why they can't use the eagles

Why did Bree have such a shitty gate that you could just ride through it?

The point wasn't to play keep away with the ring, the point was to destroy it so sauron lost his power forever

ikr, they could have dressed one of the eagles as a nazgul and just wear like really dark robes

why didn't Frodo just give the ring to a gypsy? there's no way anyone's getting it back

Gandalf knew the eagles were weak. After a few miles the ring would call to them. Then they'd drop Frodo to his death and snatch. Can you imagine an invisible eagle? The ultimate stealth aircraft.

kek

why not just surgically implant the ring into gollum and push him into the lava. you could even first drill holes into his brain so he becomes retarded and can't run away.

Okay...i genuinely laughed at that. lol

then create a formation such that once one eagle is corrupted, frodo jumps to the next and ultimately to mordor?

Why didn't they just kill themselves to avoid the responsibility?

Why did they walk for so much of the journey. They could have at least rode horses jeez.

Genius. You should have been at the Council.

Maybe they were worried about the Ring corrupting the horses at night when everyone was asleep

Why didn't they just act like they were delivering the ring to Saroon then psych him out and run and throw it in the lava?

I'm no lava scientist but I'm pretty sure any lava collected would cool pretty quickly.

He was there. He was there when the strength of men failed

I'm pretty sure they would know the real one, according to Aragorn nazgul feel it.

I really like your eagle drawing

It wasn't their strength, it was their credit. Isildur tried to take out a loan against the Ring and was turned down.

Because middle Earth was doomed even if he didn't find the ring. That's the entire point of not hiding it

if collected lava cools pretty quickly how come there's still lava in volcanoes???

shut the fuck up

Why didn't they just surgically implant the ring in a horse

Just tie the ring to a balloon and float it into space

ok, this is good one.

...

And what exactly would that do??

Can horse be corrupted? Should've just let Sam's pony to carry that ring to the mordor.

Why didn't they just catapult the ring into space or the sun? They couldn't just drop it in the ocean because in a million years there might not be an ocean anymore, but Sauron would still be looking for it.

how would the horse know where to go

>what is a microwave

Why didn't they just put the ring in a jar of dirt?

Why didn't they just hide it and never spoke of it again?

Because YOU had his ax.

magic elvish thermos bro

Of course you would guide him, but you wouldn't have to share the load.

...

s-sharing the pony's load?

Why didn't Frodo just pretend to be Mr. Underhill for longer than 5 minutes? Sauron wouldn't have found him under a strong alias.

jesus christ im dying

Just make thousands of gold rings and put them all into a pile, it would take the Nazgul ages to sort through them all

Why didn't they put the ring in a sealed box, not tell anybody what was inside it. then send a troop deployment to mordor to throw it in?

>>>/reddit/

Tolkien confirmed hack

it would probably work, the axe only broke because of elvish trckery

Why dint they just wrap the ring in tin foil? That way it just looks like and ordiny ring and sauronman would never find it

for fucks sake why not just put Gimli in charge of the Dwarf construction crew to dig an extremely deep hole in the ground for the ring and pour lava over it and then layers of rocks and mithril and shit once they finish Gimli kills everyone who worked on it who is aware of the location and once he comes back to report to the council they kill him too so fucking nobody knows.

>WE MUST RETURN THE RING TO SAURON, IT IS HIS BY RIGHT

Just put the ring on your dick, the Nazgul won't take it because they don't want to look gay

Why not put the ring on a caterpillar who'd then become invisible and would never be found?

if the Ring can move on its own then why the fuck didnt it roll its way back to Mordor?

Why didn't they just dig into the earth from the opposite direction until they reached MtDoom?
Weren't the dwarves hyped up like they were the ultimate digging machines?

Why didnt they just pour concrete in the ring so that nobody could put it on???

If the Council of Elrond had half of the wits of the posters in this thread than these movies wouldn't have much to them

why didn't they use sauron's connection to the ring to cyberbully him into suicide?

Why didn't they just put the ring in Goldberrys cooch?

Even if Sauron did get all up in there, Tom Bombadil would be that pissed that he would slap Saurons shit all the way to Far Harad, ring or no ring.
