Why are there so many bullshit and arbitrary limitations when it comes to Iluvatar’s power Gandalf’s magic?

because the War of the Ring was a trial for the Men of the West, not the Elves or the Valar. Men needed to defeat Sauron because they were to inherit the Earth.

Wouldn't that make it so Sauron was effectively invincible since his weakness is the destruction of the ring he put his life force into? Isn't this the horcrux problem but in reverse?

God likes a good story pleb

yes, they also discuss throwing it in to the ocean (at least in the book), but decide that would only delay the inevitable. Saurons forces were too much for the West to hold out against, ring or no ring, so he still would have conquered Middle Earth. And he eventually would have found the Ring too, even if it took a thousand years that would be fine to an immortal spirit like Sauron

I think he should have just swallowed it.

What if king ghidora got hold of it?

But it's the Hobbits, not man who took the mantle.

It would have just ended up in Upper Earth.

Hobbits are men, just short ones.

That worked well with the locknar.

Elves fly their magic boats through space, no joke

Because Darth Vader would find it

kek

you niggers are so stupid it never ceases to amaze me
any scheme you come up with to get rid of the ring requires someone to give it up willingly at some point
THIS CANNOT BE DONE YOU RETARDED SHITS

Yes. At the end of the Second Age, the Valar pulled Valinor from the Earth and wrapped the rest of the land back around itself. Now all roads are bent.

>THIS CANNOT BE DONE
Unless you're Bilbo

manlets are people too

They should of just turned it into an online banking security token. They never get lost but as soon as you forget the password they never, ever get used.

space is incredibly expensive to get to you wouldn't be able to have a space program without an established tax policy and we all know tolkein didn't have the muster to do that much worldbuilding

I doubt they could give it enough ΔV to leave the solar system so it would most likely end up combining with the sun and then he'd be able to see anything the sun touches

Or Faramir
