How LOTR should have ended...

PMSL...you gotta wonder how many hours those guys spent practicing that to perfect it...also have to wonder who they came up with the idea in the first place...lol

Thanks AM.

Especially liked the LOTR.

Now why didn't Tolkien think of that?

Actually, he did in the book. I forget exactly how it went, but the Eagles refused to get involved at the beginning. They wouldn't go anywhere near Mordor.

There are no shortcuts along the pilgrim's progress to Heaven. :)

It's also clear in the books that the Ring is powerful enough to prevent it from happening. There's a bit of "wheel of fire" business and interaction between Frodo, the Ring, and Gollum in the book that is often overlooked (Tolkien isn't one for characterization, but the Ring has as much personality as any character in the books, at least). Even Frodo, see, had zero chance to throw the Ring into Mount Doom; he gets there and the Ring simply possesses him and drives him mad. The Eagle drop would have been a disaster.

The Ring destroys itself. There's a pivotal moment when Gollum attacks Frodo for the Ring. The Ring is sick and tired of Gollum, is convinced that it can handle the pathetic Frodo person, so it speaks aloud (the one time it does in the entire story) and curses Gollum that if he ever touched the Ring again, Gollum would be hurled himself into the fires of Doom. Well, Gollum manages to take the Ring, and the Ring's curse winds up destroying the Ring itself.

In fact, there's only one character who's will is greater than the Ring's, and that's Sam (Sam wears the Ring, in Mor-freakin'-dor, without consequence)--but that's another story. :D

Because the only person who wanted a piece of Frodo's ass more than the Ring was Sam, really...
