The real reason is because Tolkien didn't think there will be a bunch of internet nerds who will nitpick every little detail in his books. People didn't care as much about plot holes back then and want to just make entertaining stories.

Why they didnt seal the entrance to Mount Doom?
Why didn't they just throw the ring to the depths of the ocean where it won't ever be found
It's about the journey, not the destination.
Tolkienfags quite honeslty never recovered from this.
Access for maintenance
because the ring calls for its master and has a will of its own, you fucking jag off
Because its a children book
I don't understand why nerds think this is a plot hole. Sauron is constantly watching mordor, you think he's not going to notice some huge fuck off eagle carrying hobbits?
And where are they going to find tape?
That's fucking retarded. It represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work.
What if the mouse escapes? Use a turtle instead.
this is the third or fourth day in a row you made this thread
What's it gonna do, hijack a passing fish to get back to the surface?
So put it in the center of a solid lead cube. Now it's safe from marine life.
Why lead? Low melting point, dense, and poisonous.
So launch a diversionary attack on Mordor at the same time. Like what they ended up doing anyways.
Sam carried the ring the whole time Frodo was getting buttfucked in the orc tower and was perfectly fine.
Fly to Gondor, walk to Mordor, solved.
This, not guarding the entrance to the volcano and Eagles are the biggest plot holes in cinema. Literally shredded all the entire story and tainted LOTR forever
Fly to Gondor, catapult to Mordor.
Sauron tempts the mouse to break loose and infect the fellowship with the bubonic plague in exchange for a lifetime of cheese
just speedrun to the final boss bro
Actually the truth is, had Sam been the one to carry the ring from the start, it would have been fine. He wore the Ring in Mordor and shrugged it off like it was nothing. He even had the strength of will to give it back to Frodo without issue. He would have tossed it into the volcano right away. This isn't a plothole, just hindsight of course.
Why does nobody remember The Ring when Elrond was there the whole fucking time. How could he possibly forget about it?
Mouse immediately falls for the rings temptation
Scrapes the tape off by rubbing against the box they have it in or whatever
Puts the ring on over its head and tells the wraiths and sauron where it is
Total mouse destruction
Nah, Sam would have been corrupted over time if he'd carried it from the start. Same as Frodo.
Sam should have been the one to destroy the ring right at the end though. Frodo was too far gone to do it after carrying it for so long. But Sam was fresh and uncorrupted.
Sam hesitated for a moment before giving it back to Frodo. He hadn’t been corrupted enough yet to insist on keeping it but the influence was starting to creep in.
The eagles can't fly over because they know they would eat shit if the evil dragon things saw them. Once they all start dying from the ring being destroyed the coast was clear
They could have, but nobody in-universe knew that. It's like saying they could have built a rocketship and blasted the ring into the sun.
That's what the diversion is for.
Nope. Sam was immune. Cope and dialite
There's more evil dragons in mordor than what is shown in the movie
this anon gets it.

Even if he was immune, Sam wouldn't have agreed to go on the journey on his own. His whole arc ended with him having the balls to ask out Rosie.
say no more sam
Maybe in the moobies. Sam was depicted as a bit of an incorruptible superman.
The books go into it more. There is a whole chapter between Frodo's fakeout death and when Sam hands the ring back over. It was clear he was on the edge of being fully corrupted. Marching around Morder and having visions of leading armies and planting vast gardens. He only got pulled back when he realized how stupid the idea of being some sort of warlord gardener is, and that he never had much ambition for that sort of thing in the first place. He just wanted a simple life.
In the end, Sam was able to resist the temptation of power not because he was particularly noble or virtuous. But because he was just too much of a GOOD OLD, SALT-OF-THE-EARTH, TRUE BRI'ISH TOMMY. And that was clearly Tolkien pushing his own sensibilities and worldview into the story.
This.......
The eagles would get shot down
Lololol
no one knew where it was and sauron had gone into hiding for thousands of years
Why didnt they just feed the ring to a troll then have him turn to stone at daylight?
There would still be the biggest challenge, throwing it in ,and the Eagles may have wanted to stay away from the ring , or felt is was not their job
SO SIMPLE , unless you are STUPID
If they carried the mouse it may still affect them since the mouse cannot be tempted by it. Maybe the ring had to stay focussed on the ring bearer Frodo.I a mouse had the ring , the ring might focus on the nearest being with moral agency , who it could affect.
SEE HOEW EASY THAT IS ?
For Me
did Tolkien ever get a letter asking him that?
How do people move on after just a few thousand years ?
Beats me
Falls into - out of sight out of mind. Elrond - its been a thousand years, I feel safe now.
Puts it out of his mind
By the way, don't feel too bad about being stupid. Genius is a lonely road
