LEGO Walk into Mordor

[@Oscar_Lasco]

Moreover, LOTR made clear the threat don't always come from trolls and orcs but also from our own "weakness". Eagles are powerful beings and powerful beings are easier to corrupt for the Ring. The One Ring may not be able to fit an eagle claw (though it used to change size according to his owner's finger) but it can spread doubt in their mind and convince them to keep the ring "safe" in their home, rather than fighting the fell beasts. Even if fell beasts are no match for eagles, a spirit corrupted by the ring won't think rationally. Meanwhile Sauron's army will take over Middle-Earth and the ring will "leave" the eagles the same way it left Gollum. Then it will go from bearer to bearer until it finds his way to Sauron's finger.

[@TheBlackfall234]

why would you put the ring unto the claw of the eagle anyway

[@chaoticxie1425]

@@TheBlackfall234 maybe he was saying if the ring manipulated the eagle to take the ring it would change size to fit it's claw

[@MoonThuli]

I love the idea of an eagle becoming corrupted by sauron and hoarding the ring on the top of a mountain like a magpie. I guess they maybe could wear it too given that in the Hobbit it's said that Gwahir was given a crown by the dwarves of erebor.

[@handlesucks111]

Cause sure eagle would fly low enough to get hit by arrows... Or better, from all the places they had to fly over black gate. Fact stands that eagles would solve everything.

[@burfdawg]

Check out the Film Theorists video about this

[@republicempire446]

Tolkien didn’t want to use the eagles as he considers them as a dangerous plot devices and kept them at Deus ex Machina when the narrative demands it. There was original 1958 script that had heroes using the Eagles early which Tolkien hated it.

There he stood with his black horse, the Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dur, the Mouth of Sauron, savoring the peppermint lollipop that was the token of the favour of the Dark Lord, when lo! horns were sounded, orc soldiers were mustered at the cry, "Eagle alert! Eagle alert!." In the madness that ensued, he was toppled over by the scampering orcs, his lollipop lay at his side cloven in half. "Somebody will pay for this, the full price." He gnashed his teeth.

[@1oace768]

Also in the books there's a part where Gandalf asks the eagle how far they can take him and they're straight up like Bruh I'll get tired soon.

[@KinstarStudios]

The Eagle theory isn't possible anyway because in the book this is considered but then then I think its Gandalf that says the eagles would just point blank refuse to go to such a place

[@kitvos2615]

Also, in The Hobbit, to back up your statement, the Eagles didn't want to fly over the lands inhabited by humans.

[@Apollo1989V]

In the rescue of Gandalf, the eagle said he couldn't take Gandalf to the ends of the earth. eagles are spies, not taxi drivers. Only a few times do eagles give rides, and most of them are for short distances. Only Beorn in the Hobbit got a long ride.

[@KinstarStudios]

exactly :)

[@therandompandaman4521]

Or you know, just go most of the way and walk the rest.

[@nikusson]

And the poisonous air of Mordor would kill the eagles

[@MasterKeyShow]

Why flying higher wouldn't work: 1: Altitude comes with air limitations, as well as weight limitations. With people riding on their back, the Eagles wouldn't have been able to fly higher than that. 2: Did everybody just FORGET that Ring Wraiths have Dragon-like creatures? All it takes is one to get at Frodo and rip him off. Then they're done. Game over. 3: Their enemy is a giant all-seeing eye. You would figure that the smart people of the internet would value stealth. Half of the reason they walked across the country was /because/ Sauron was ALWAYS watching, through his giant eye, spies, or otherwise. Eagles tend to be more conspicuous.

[@SwordsmanAndy]

The point is to go in secret to Mordor, people ignore the fact that in the book, Sauron has a Palantir and would be able to spot the eagles. A great video that demonstrates why flying the eagles to Mordor is folly.

[@movietheme]

[@KATTALNUVA3]

Not only is tempting the Eagles with the Ring about as bad as just giving it to Sauron, but flying to Mordor has all the subtlety of the freaking plague. Sometimes the easiest ways aren’t the best ways.

This is a nice comeback to the HISHE running gag. But to be fair, the Eagles could have taken them 3/4th of the way and then they could have walked from there, saving almost a year of travel time and thousands of lives in battles that never would have happened.

[@snaxandsoda]

[@codymartinson9518]

Right over the black gate? So funny. I laughed hard at this video.

[@Routakorpi]

Gandalf was planning to travel with eagles: when he escaped orthanc, he went to the eagles and made agreement that they will carry him, frodo and sam. He kept it secret, because surprise would be the best advantage. Suddendly the party was 9 persons, but gandalf thought there could be plenty of eagles. Eagles live in east from misty mountains. Gandalf planned the way over the mountains, but saruman ruined it... they had to take through moria. There would be so many orcs, that could report to saruman or sauron, so Gandalf's plan was in danger. When gandalf is holding on from the edge of khazar dum, he yells, hoping that at least one of the remaining companion would understand "fly you fools!"

[@Adrischa]

Sorry to tell you, but this theory is absolute bullshit. You haven't read the books I guess and just saw some internettheory. If you wish I can tell you why, but I don't have the time right now.

M Frostwood The Great Eagles are a sentient race,which is scarce in number, why the fuck would they endanger themselves in a fruitless effort to destroy the ring? The Nazgul would destroy them, not to mention all the Orcs and other foul things Sauron could just throw at them endlessly, if they were to execute such a retarded plan. Why do people think this a solid theory? It's stupid, nonsense. >:(

[@hunterolaughlin]

I remember the Veggietales parody of the Lord of the Rings film and they also had their own jab of the eagles not being modes of transportation with the eagle being annoyed that Fellowship tried to ride him like a taxi or an airplane. Does anyone else remember that?

[@michaelbourret339]

I do!

[@Dimension3500]

People seem to forget that even though Sauron possessed no physical form he still had some of his powers. If he ever caught of glimpse of the Great Eagles flying there, which I'm sure he would, then the Fellowship would be done. This video represents it very well with the frying thing, even if humorously. The whole point was to SNEAK the One Ring into Mordor, because even then The White Council was AFRAID of Sauron, rightfully so (every single person throughout Middle Earth's history who underestimated Morgoth's greatest servant suffered for it) The only reason he couldn't do anything to stop Frodo in Return of the King was because Sauron thought Aragorn had the One Ring, and everything that followed happened extremely fast: Frodo puts One Ring>Sauron notices it>Gollum bites his finger off>The Nazgul move to intercept>Frodo fights for the One Ring> Gollum falls.
