The ring cannot be destroyed by conventional means
Have you ever tried?
No
The ring cannot be destroyed by conventional means
gimli hit it with another axe
but did he try a second axe?
how do they know a second ace wouldn't destroy it unless they try.
Why didn’t they go to another volcano? One that was closer and in better neighbourhood.
Why don't they try having an eagle fly it very high up and drop it?
why didnt gandy try one of those lightning bolt things he hit the balrog with
If the ring adjusts in size to the user, as evident by both a hobbit and a man comfortably wearing it, would it become a big golden hoola hoop in the hands of a cave troll? That would look pretty SILLY!
What happens if you put it on your cock and fuck someone with it?
I always wondered what would happen legitimately if they threw it into the ocean and one of the deep dwellers got it.
Nooooo this fantasy isn’t Le heckin scientific and logical ahhhhhhhhhh
That’s the point retards
the ring would find its way back to sauron eventually i guess
People in a fantasy setting should still be able to use logic. Gimli was unironically the smartest of all of them for at least trying conventional means before sending two midgets on a suicide mission.
this mysterious ring closely resembles the single most important item in history of this world, a potential doomsday device that is a threat to life itself
but i cannot be sure, better leave it in the hands of a midget while i fuck off for a year to read ancient text written when I was already alive
You clearly haven’t read the books and fundamentally misunderstand Tolkien
sad! Many such cases
Then you get Lord of the Rings 2: Son of the Ring
spends years researching the ring
even has one magic ring himself
throws it into fire and it doesn't even heat
I think I would trust Gandalf on this.
Nah Gandalf says explicitly during the gathering for The Fellowship that there are things far older than Sauron in The Deep.
It's the kind of thing that gives infinite answers without providing any detail.
It already got lost in a river and then it just got found again, I guess throwing it into an ocean would end the same
Why didn't they just dip the ring in AIDS juice and give it back to Sauron?
Doesn't work, the ring cures AIDS
Why didn't Gandalf take it underground to where he fought the balrog and throw it into a lava stream which would eventually flow upwards to Mt Doom?
Dropping it into a small pond gave them like a thousand years of peace, id say its a pretty reasonable solution.
He was busy.
There was peace because sauron had respawn timer.
The necromancer was back and had 60 years to build to army
But then you know it will just inevitably come back anyway. Maybe in a thousand years, maybe just a hundred, or ten. And it might not be in good hands then. It could literally lead to Sauron winning.
Getting rid of the ring once and for all is the safest solution reallym
that wasn't the issue at all.
the issue was that there were giant monsters in the ocean.
like how there use to be tree sized dogs and mountain sized spiders.
lol
no he said far older then orcs
Eagles are greedy cunts and they'd immediately drop them off a cliff and steal the ring. Gandalf basically saved them from being wiped out and they best they could offer was a quick pickup whikw they were in the area and going that way anyway
Why didnt they just give the ring to volcano expert Chris Watts who would be visiting one later that week?
non manlet Boromir hits ring with axe
ring shatters
Mordor has AA guns
yeah I have an army of giant eagles who help me out whenever I want
I'm also good friends with the ancient tree people who can easily solo armies of orcs
and of course there's always the invincible ghost army we can call on
but you normal mortal men are gonna have to do the bulk of the fighting and dying, ok?
what the fuck was gandalf's problem?
"Doh!" - warmongermir
this. even if the lava wouldn't destroy it, who the fuck would be able to retrieve the ring?
Don't be too harsh on him, he was a pothead at that time.
There wasn't really anything he could do about it, given that there was no one else to entrust it to. He also needed to talk to the other powerful rulers of Middle Earth, and was restricted in his actions by Saruman, who was the leader of the wizards.
That said, he didn't tell Saruman about the ring while investigating it, though Saruman did tell him that it had likely been washed into the sea and would remain there until the end of the world. That's one of the reasons he wasn't yet convinced that it was the One.
Wizards who are inherently supernatural beings should be classed as a separate entity from wizards who are mortals who have learned magic. That's my opinion.
No... Sauronman my trusted friend told me it was impossible and that you have to literally march right into the middle of Sauron's home in order to destroy it.
Isildur, hurry you must destroy the ring now! It's an emergency we must act right this second! Or else three thousand years from now Sauron might come back and start causing trouble again! There's no time to lose!
Ringlore is obscure and it wasn't something Gandalf knew much about. All he knew about the One Ring is that it was incredibly powerful. The funny invisibility ring looked far too lame and weak for him to assume it was the One.
Why didn't Gandalf just learn to forge and make an even stronger ring?
He would've wound up just chucking it in an oil tank
It wasn't a year it was 28 years
zoomies unironically, no joke, can not in any way comprehend life without google. They can't envision not having any answer to any question immediately at their fingertips. It is unfathomable to them to have to travel weeks/months to go to a specific place/person to obtain knowledge since it's not just freely available in their pocket.
piss off gramps
orcs damn near destroyed everything without Sauron and the Ring anyway. It needed to go, to end his power.
Can't blame them too much, they know of nothing else. Anyone born after the internet refuses to believe that technology can simply be lost, after all, there's a copy of it on the internet!
>The ring cannot be destroyed by conventional means
>Have you ever tried?
>No
Hobbit was the superior trilogy
Yeah Tolkien was an idiot
What is this Google thing?
So the main problem was that nobody could actually overcome the ring's domination and throw it into Mount Doom willingly. Even the most resistant beings would fail once they were inside Mount Doom, where the ring was at its most powerful.
So why not stand outside Mount Doom, tie the ring to an arrow, and fire it from hundreds of meters away where it was still possible to resist it? Legolas could make that shot.
Legolas wouldn't make it to Mount Doom, retard. He would get easily spotted and killed by the tens of thousands of guards and Sauron himself. Only the two tiny hobbits could make it all the way to the volcano.
Why didn't he just read "The Lord of the Rings?" Was he fuckin stupid or somethin?
What if Legolas crouch-walked?
Couldn't they just dig really far down and throw the ring in the mantle of the Earth? Or is Tolkien a flat Earther?
wtf are deep dwellers
Logic doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean. It's LOGICAL that the thingy made by the most powerful evil being in Middle-Earth is indestructible, as a fellow maiar Gandalf knows full well how powerful Sauron's abilities are.
the single most important item in history of this world, a potential doomsday device that is a threat to life itself
It's not a Silmaril
The setting was literally a flat earth with the olympus like part of the world where the demigods all live as an island. Humans decided to sail to it and God got so mad he made the world a sphere. So it's possible that even though the magma in the earth is the same on Earth, it would be different somehow there because of magic, or other special rules about the world that only come up when Tolkien reveals them.
Saruman was the only person alive who was an expert in ring-lore. In fact he became corrupted studying Sauron's ring making and trying to recreate the one ring himself. In the book he's much more overtly out to stab Sauron in the back and take the ring for himself so that he can rule Middle Earth alone.
As Gandalf said, there were many magic rings and from his POV it was some wacky party trick one that turned you invisible until he discovered that it was really the one ring.
Some kind of evil sea monster. There are a couple references to ancient evil creatures or "nameless things" that predate Sauron and are unaligned
Why rings? Why not pants?
makes his own ring
it's shit
Both the Balrog and Gandalf ran like hell to avoid dealing with them when their fight led them deep underground.
The only real smart, and non-meme (aka Eagles) thing to do is to take the Ring to the Undying Lands.
It's literally filled with beings like Sauron (Maiar) and higher - the actual fucking gods.
What the fuck would a bunch of shitter orcs do? And it's not like a single Maiar like Sauron could do shit against hundreds/thousands.
Sauron could win without the ring, the fellowship could only win by destroying it.
The dude had to read the historical equivalent of sumerian cuneiform to understand what the ring was. Give him a break
though Saruman did tell him that it had likely been washed into the sea and would remain there until the end of the world.
So...it sounds an awful lot like the sea would be a safe place to dispose of it. Get some eagles to fly it 20 miles out to sea and drop it and it's lost until the end of the world?
Schizoanon, I realize that you've spent a lot of time putting together your list of nonsense but you need to realize that no one is going to waste their time on fucking 20+ links. If you want to convince people then you need to be CONCISE. You're a crazy weirdo and the absolute best you can hope from strangers who see your post is 5-10 seconds of attention. If you can't hook them in the first 10 seconds then they're never going to get to fucking video #14.
Post ONE link with a CONCISE summary. If you can get people interested then they have plenty of time to do research and watch all your other shit but you can't lead off with a wall of links.
Given how deeply Tolkien was inspired by Norse mythology, they might have been based on Jörmungandr (in the sea) and Níðhöggr (below Moria). The latter is specifically referred to as gnawing on the roots of Yggdrasil from the edge of Hel, and Tolkien describes the tunnels below Moria as being "gnawed by nameless things", which are as old as the world. Tolkien also mentions the roots of the mountain, so I think at least Níðhöggr might have served as the inspiration for the creatures below Moria, given the description.
Depends. Saruman lied about it, knowing it wasn't in the sea. Also, given the ring's power, it would likely find a way to make it back to the surface. Like getting itself eaten by a fish, which would be caught by a fisher, who'd find the ring while gutting the fish.
Or maybe some ancient creature would be drawn to it and eat it.
a year
It was 17.
haha if you see that ring, like, I'd love to have it back you know hahaha
You’ve wasted your time typing out that whiny faggy cringe of a reply. Just bc your attention span has been dried up and withered away beyond use due to a lifetime of social media and instant porn addiction doesn’t mean everyone’s has. There are plenty anons here capable of saving a playlist and watching videos on topics that peek their interest in their own time. My posts are for those with eyes to see, not for those easily swayed by quick flashy catchphrases and slick marketing strategies. If 95% of anons take a look at that post and decide its not worth their time to look into, so be it, they can stay willfully ignorant and uninformed, like a I gaf.
btw, Those of you itt who don’t understand just how easy it is for corrupt governments and powerful institutions/entities to propagandize entire societies should watch this immediately:

…And thats just the tip of the ice(((berg))). If you approach the rabbithole with a mentality of genuine interest in learning the truth about this reality and your place in it, (you) will inevitably arrive at the topic of flat earth.
Protip: every single answer to literally any and all flat earth related questions you may have can be found in this pastebin:

for those itt who are unaware:
space is fake and gay, the magical spinning cartoon ball earth is fake and gay. we literally live in God's snow globe and every decision (you) make has immense meaning and significance. change your ways and start living correctly. dont fall for the nihilism meme and dont fall for any of the religion memes. you can look at life as either a test or a game but whatever you do, dont look at it as meaningless. BE A GOOD PERSON AND LIVE BY THE GOLDEN RULE ALWAYS! also stop jerking off you pathetic littel squirtboys; your life will drastically improve when abstaining from degeneracy.
I was with you til the last sentence.
three movies people walking to a fucking vulcano
sent from God with only one mission, Stop Sauron
doesn't memorize the Ring lore in the millennia he has available
shit wizard
From what I recall, he figured the ring was lost, and wanted to strike at Sauron before he started to rebuild his strength.
sauron would have just asked morgoth for help and he would have reached in from the beyond and plucked it out of the lava
this was already addressed by tolkein iirc in letter 132 to kurt godel
the One thing about the One Ring I always wondered is what Sauron is gonna do with it if he doesn't have a physical form?
Hey Frodo your uncle fucked off to god knows where and he’s never coming back, uhhh sorry
oh he left you that ring he was always obsessing over and always kept on his person for decades
might be a doomsday weapon that ends the world one day
it might just be a regular magic ring that turns you invisible, hey that’s pretty cool right?
anyway here you go, shove it in a closet and DON’T FUCKING TOUCH IT, LOOK AT IT, THINK ABOUT IT OR TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT
EVER
SERIOUSLY
I gotta go find out more, see you in like 15 years
Kek! Yea a lot of anons just nope the fuck out when they get to that stipulation. Squirtboys can’t even fathom the idea that refraining from touching their ween could be beneficial. Just speaking from my personal experience, cutting porn and masturbation out of my life has been one of the single most beneficial decisions I’ve made for my overall wellbeing and quality of life. Just watch some videos on what porn actually does to your brain. It’s fucking poison. Even mainstream scientific literature will tell you that ffs. There’s a reason hd open is free and so readily supplied and available for consumption - it’s bc (you) are the product.
you think axes grow on trees?
half of it does.
He does have a physical form, you dildo.
