    I refuse to believe the eagles didn’t know what was going down and could intervene at any time. When they showed up they weren’t like “bruh why didn’t you call us sooner”

      The point is still that the rings whereabouts was best left unknown to as many people as possible. Just flying into Mordor on an eagle would have essentially just delivered the ring to Sauron for free. The eagles could have been involved elsewhere, sure, but the story is the story.

        I need you to fly these hobbits to mount doom.

        why … oh.

        no further questions.

        No, fuck this shit, you’re on your own old man.
