Why didn't those eagles just drop the ring in the volcano in the first place?
I forget what their classification is but they're basically like gods and not meant to interfere in the affairs of mortals for the most part. But they supposedly can offer help only in extreme circumstances.

Plus if there's an eagle squadron flying toward Mordor then Sauron's whispering eye would just chuck a load of archers all over Mount Doom and they could shoot the cnuts down.

Whatever hope the Fellowship had of sneaking in the back door of Mordor (and its only by insane luck they manage it) having the Giant Eagles fly to Mordor would have been a bit obvious. Every Orc archer in Mordor would have had a field day not to mention the Nazguls capability to fly would have meant there was a very high chance of that plan not succeeding.

Plus the Eagles were all noble and didnt want to be involved (the one that rescues Gandalf from Isenguard doesn't even want to bring him very far-which is why he ends up in Rohan instead of Gondor).

Why is it that characters with the name Simon are always either homosexual or straight up duds?
