Fire bad

Because the Eagles don't care and are selfish pussies who only want to stay out harm's way, except when they are total badasses who do care and selflessly fight (and completely fuck up) those exact same foes.

God, Tolkien was a hack.

because they are of divine nature not uber cars you can call for a ride.
they only appear if shit hits the fan intenselly.

why bring back gandalf then instead of sending the divine eagles from the get-go

Same reason you don't carry your wife's son to school on your back everyday.

>Eagles were put on earth to help the forces of good, by the guy who was second only to God himself
>last great dragon appears, the sole survivor of the first Dark Lord's most lethal forces
>literal angel sent by the same #2 divine dude in charge, with the mission to stop the second Dark Lord
>the guy is afraid that if the Dark Lord recruits said dragon, he is going to be invincible
>this apparently doesn't qualify as "shit hitting the fan intensely"

The eagles of LOTR/Hobbit are little pansy shits compared to their ancestors.

Eru is hands off because he knows shit is going to work out in the end, with the exception of reshaping the world that one time, bringing Gandalf back and making Gollum lose his balance he doesn't do shit really.

Tolkien is a hack and only dicklet virgins think otherwise

The Eagles are on the same level as the Valar in that they already put in work and don't need to do more.

>that one time the KING OF ALL EAGLES, an eagle the size of the largest jumbojets around today, teamed up with an elf sailing a magic flying boat blessed with pure light from the Goddess of Light, a silent enchant of guaranteed victory from Eru and a FUCKING SILMARIL on his forehead, and both of them fighting against a Dragon so big (capital D big) that it's wings blotted out the sun and it's eventual fall when it died took out three mountain peaks.

>that it's wings blotted out the sun

Then we will fight in the dark

Pathetic.

Well it wasn't really dark because the fucking thing was spewing hot ass fire from it's mouth.

This is the nigga that gets namedropped by Gandalf in the movies when he says not even the fire of Ancalagan the Black could melt the one ring.

It was always surrounded by like a thousand other flying dragons that would probably kick Smaugs ass too. I think the eagles are right not to give a shit about one lonely ass midget dragon after dealing with this shit.

why didn't they just dig a tunnel?

Why didn't those giant worm guys just dig straight into the keep?
