i actually love when ppl ask me "why couldn't the eagles just take the ring to mordor" because it means i get to lock them into an hour long conversation about the actual plot of lotr that slowly turns into explaining why my favorite character, pippin, played an extremely important role in the success of the destruction of the ring by acting as a hobbit decoy to distract sauron from frodo and sam because so much of the quest relied on sauron not knowing what they were rlly doing
