>one chance to destroy ring forever >lets some dipshit with a shit eating evil grin on his face walk off with it >same idiot dies shortly after, ring vanishes >elrond never bothers to look for it >sauron gets strong again >elrond suddenly remembers exactly what happened and that oh yeah the ring is actually super important even though he had 3k years to follow up on it
not ironic eagleposting. what the fuck is is this?
That's a Jackson moment. In reality there is not confrontation on Mount Doom, in fact, they don't really have much idea about the ring or what to do with it.

Tolkien goes into almost no detail about the fight with Sauron other than who lives and dies. it's not made clear how Gandalf suddenly knows everything about the ring IIRC (the scene where he goes to Minas Tirith and reads scrolls is itself also Jackson insert).
Nathan Peterson
It's just added to the movie for dramatic tension and foreshadowing Frodo going up there. Isildur just finds the ring after his fight with Sauron outside Barad-dur and the armies go back home.
Gavin Perez
He was too worried about paying the inheritance taxes following the death of gil galad to search for the ring. Duh.
>(the scene where he goes to Minas Tirith and reads scrolls is itself also Jackson insert).
Gandalf describes reading various scrolls in Minas Tirith during the council of Elrond in the book

Dylan Green
he secretly craved the power of the ring himself so he let it survive due to an unconscious desire to possibly obtain it later. no one has the will to destroy it
Gavin Brooks
At that time Elrond did not know the significance of the ring for bringing sauron back just that it was magic. So he shrugged his shoulders and went him.
I mean the ring did literally nothing in all those 3000 years
Isaac Nguyen
Would the ring turn someone invisible if they swallowed it or does it have to be worn on a finger?
Christian Fisher
Finger. NOT, worn around the neck nor swallowed nor put on your FUCKN DICK YOU DEGENERATE FUCK!
It´s a RING, it´s MAGIC, it´s built to work on FINGERS ONLY!
Jayden Gutierrez
Why didn't they just chop the ringer bearer's fingers off
>chop some slave's finger off so the ring has somewhere to sit >lose your invisible finger taking a shit one day >sauron magic ain't gotta explain sheeeeit and animals move the ring to mordor after generations
Noah Diaz
But a chopped off finger wearing the ring wouldn't be invisible
John Gutierrez
I mean why didn't the just chop someone's finger off and let him becoming the ring bearer so he would never be corrupted
Samuel Cox
It honestly makes sense to me but the problem would probably be something like the fact that he still wouldn't be willing to give it up at Mount Doom or some writing deus ex about the ring betraying him like Isildur
Christopher Gray
>it's not made clear how Gandalf suddenly knows everything about the ring IIRC
What do you think Gandalf was doing during the time between leaving Frodo with the ring and coming back to tell him what it is? Oh yeah, he straight up tells us in the book what he was doing.

Liv should be conventionally attractive, but she looks to much like her dad and it makes it weird. Like my dick will start moving and then I see Screamin' Steven in my head and it goes back to being full flaccid.
It's not a deux ex. It's a characteristic of the ring from the beginning. No mortal can destroy it. That's why Gandalf says numerous times that their journey is a "fool's hope"
Hudson Brown
>dipshit Isildur was the toughest Man in Middle Earth and had just kicked Saurons ass while he was still wearing the Ring. Elrond would have got his shit pushed in if he'd tried to take it by force.
Brayden Lee
isildur was a pussy bitch who stole credit from elendil and gil-gachad
Angel Brooks
if Elrond destroyed the Ring that would also destroy Gondor's economy sending the world into a great depression
Austin Martinez
Shut your Middle man mouth, you undeserving rat, you've no pedigree or right to speak of a Numenorean.
Henry Reyes
Then just push him in
Sebastian Butler
Isildur didn't even kill Sauron, he just cut the finger from his fucked up body. The REAL chads of Middle Earth did the heavy lifting.
Lincoln Morgan
Elrond even had his own Ring and didnt do a thing with it. Damn hippy.
Aiden Rodriguez
the people of eorl are the only whites in middle earth
prove me wrong
Noah Perez
>it makes sense to me Why, what's different between a rotten finger and some elvish mythril. It's not like that shit was conducting demon magic into his skin or something, the weight of the ring is nonphysical
what if you chopped the finger off and then sewn it on somebody else? would they become invisible or have an invisible finger attached? what would the tax be like? would they get handicap tax deductions?
Adrian Hernandez
what if you put the ring inside your ass so when you shit the shit goes through the ring would your shit be invisible?
Cameron Williams
Have you tried remembering something for 3000 years? No? Then shut the fuck up.
Tyler Brown
Because he didn't want the elves to go to war with men right after beating up Sauron. Also because Isildur's death is one of the best scenes in the trilogy and Elrond wanted to make kino happen.
Christopher Anderson
Gandalf goes and studies in Minas Tirith once he starts to put things together.
