>>347277 GANDALF CAN’T JUST ASK THE EAGLES FOR HELP ALL THE TIME
As one of the Istari (powerful wizarding servants of the Valar), Gandalf had an understanding with the Eagles, also sent from Valinor, that they were all on the same side. Both Gandalf and Gwaihir, descendant of the greatest Eagle to ever live, were delivered to the lands of Middle Earth, but neither were greater or more kingly than the other. This presents a gaping hole in the argument that Gandalf could’ve simply asked the Eagles to carry the One Ring to Mordor, as the Eagles are not under Gandalf’s umbrella, nor are they a taxi service to the Istari.
GWAIHIR PHYSICALLY CANNOT DROP THE ONE RING INTO THE FIRES HIMSELF
The Eagles of the Valar are huge, and that’s an understatement. Not only would their flight above Mount Doom cause a stir in Sauron’s forces, but there is no physical way for Gwaihir to drop the One Ring precisely into the Cracks of Doom. Not just into the fires of Mount Doom, you see, but in the exact spot in the mountain where the One Ring was forged. Someone must enter the mountain itself, approach this exact volcanic fissure, and throw the ring into the fires there.
