Why didn't Frodo use the eagles?

Why didn't Frodo use the eagles?

Cause only Gandalf can.

Cuz they, cuz they were too busy training dorky Mark Wahlberg to be...to be a runnin' back or sumpfin...

Read the books. The eagles only reluctantly help Gandalf a few times, and tell him to fuck off. Also Mordor is heavily guarded; it was very difficult for Frodo and Sam to sneak in. The only reason Mt. Doom wasn't swarming with orcs is because Aragorn's ancestors beat the crap out of Sauron multiple times, so when Aragorn shows up, he sends all his people to fight. Using the eagles was such a bad idea/impossibility, that no one even brings it up. And on top of all of the many explanations, it's just a story.

DIDJA WACH THE FILM THEOREE?? HE ECKSPLAINS IT!

The ring would have affected them. Same reason why no other character except Frodo can carry the ring.

...

why not trow in the ocean?

Because Tolkien was a wonderful, very imaginative, creative man who wrote stories that were filled with plot holes, multiple endings, incongruous Tom Bombadil asides, and other flaws and defects.

Sauron would survive and he could use captured lesser rings to increase his strength. Most of his energy was tied up in the one ring so with it destroyed he was reduced to a minute fraction of his former self.

>plot holes

Name one.

Eagles aren'tone because it wasn't nessecary. All it would have done is save time (not important) and have killed any chance the fellowship had at subterfuge (important).

Even Gandalf fucking said it
>"FLY, you fools!"

Why didn't Frogo just do the freaky flip on the ringy rang and bounce to Mordor ?

>try to aim for the lava Frodo!
I lost my shit

The ring coudn't simply be dropped in te caldera. Lava couldn't destroy the ring outside the forge. Only in the physical confines of the space it was created could the ring be destroyed. And good luck landing an eagle at the entrance into with an army encamped around it.

Classic

Why didn't Aragorn launch a counterattack immediately after the battle of pelennor fields? He had an invincible ghost army at his disposal

Why didn't the Elves just take the ring to their mystical lands?

Not in the book he didn't.

The gods wouldn't allow the ring to taint the undying lands and they sent the wizards from Valinor to solve the problem to begin with.

But they were invincible in the film's universe

Why didn't frodo fry the eagles?

Which was ostensibly following the book in which they never came to the battle of Pelennor Fields because, being ghosts, they were incoporeal and incapable of causing bodily harm to anyone.

This good shit must be like over 18 years old, now it can buy alcohol in my country.

Bc that woulda been illegal

Yeah. The film is inconsistent.

$800 dumb gaijin

They could have at least taken the eagles to the outskirts of Mordor.

Because it was the will of the force

that is so old but great

Reading the books answers this.

>it's old enough to post on this board

One does not simply fly into Mordor.
Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the great Eye is ever watchful.
The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand eagles could you do this. It is folly!"

Those classic gifs were great, I get a feeling of nostalgia from them. Can't believe the trilogy ended almost exactly 14 years ago.

Why should the eagles help? They don't care if Middle Earth gets destroyed.

For the same reason the orcs didn't wall up the entrance to mount doom or have anyone guarding it. Tolkien's life work is a joke.

I forgot, are the Eagles higher beings like those Maiar people, essentially Gods of some sort? Or just intelligent people who try to keep out of the world's business like Switzerland?

why didnt gandalf just cast a waterball on the giant eye?

What did the ghosts do in the book?


What was the biggest difference from the book to the film's?

Eagles aren't fucking taxis.

>What was the biggest difference from the book to the film's?
the biggest difference was that the book was lots of written words put together on paper and the films were sounds and moving images.
