Why didn't they just go to a random spot deep in the woods, dig a very small but deep hole, throw the ring in there, and then cover it up? Nobody would be able to find it.

But somebody would've found it

The ring was taken deep into the Misty Mountains for hundreds of years. Eventually the Ring would find a way.

Not if the hole was like 20 feet deep.

They still had oceans didn't they in this world?
Why didn't they take a boat way the fug out there somewhere and drop it in.
Would a fish be able to wear it? Didn't the ring power only apply to dwarvs human elf n hobbids?

First, there has to be someone powerful enough to give up the ring in the first place.
Second, even though it sounds like a cop out is that the ring will find a way to be found. It's not a normal ring, it's magical.

Why didn't they just hit it in a jewelry shop? There's so many rings in their already that Saurumon probably would have given up after looking at a few dozen of them.

Could an animal fall to the temptation of the ring?

you dont have to wear it to use its power, you can swallow it and use the ring, alternatively the ring can shrink and grow to any size. There are a multitude of sea monsters that would love to have the ring
yes, and it would be the most unstoppable animal in the universe and would destroy all life to satisfy its goals of eating, breeding, and shitting all over the place
why didnt frodo just shove the ring up his ass? Then Sauron would have to do the same but he wouldnt because thats pretty gay

Bilbo gave up the ring. What's the issue here?

Why didn't Gandalf place the ring on his cock? Surely he could have beat Sauron's ass if he did.

Very few can though, and assuming someone did you'd still face the issue of the ring being found eventually.

Evil doesn't know moderation. As seen in the Return of the King the forces of Mordor won against Gondor, if not for a last minute ghost asspull, and even then Mordor still would have won with superior numbers and force replenishment. Trying to nudge the problem down the road wouldn't work.

It was either lose eventually, or lose quickly with a very, very, very slim chance of success (but also they're the good guys with their God on their side, so that slim chance was still pretty good).

Sauron was winning. He didn't need to physically possess the ring to do that so hiding it away would just make him functionally immortal.

No

Because it would corrupt the jew who is running the shop, it would be golum 2.0 essentially

>take it to the blacksmith.
>have him seal it in a cannonball-esque type lump of iron
>take it and drop it out in the farthest reaches of the ocean
>problem solved

or conversely

>middle earth and surroundings continents are huge, mountainous
>there MUST be other active volcanoes besides Mt. Doom
>go & drop the ring in active lava pit
>ring not only is impossibly to reach...
>it gets sealed up when lava solidifies

the point isn't the ring or sauron, or mt. doom or orcs
the point is the inner struggle. Whether or not you can accept your lot in life and fulfill that role virtuously

Why didn't Frodo just keep it on his dick?

How do u assume everyone knows their "lots" in life instantly.
What if u dont have one.
What if your lot is shit because of context

>take the ring on a ship
> go far, far East...
>bury it on the creepy 'lands of the sun' ghost continent no-one ever goes to
>boom you're done

Why not give the ring to an eagle and fly it into the sun

>throw the ring into the ocean

Do you want to see what LOTR x Call of Cthuhlu looks like?

Does the same ass-pull happen in the books? I don't really remember but I would say no.

Why does Sauron want a ring that gives some faggy invisibility powers and why are the good guys so afraid of it? Literally just throw some paint on him so they can see him.

But now how do you beat Sauron?

because the sun is also eye of sauron (secret, shh)

Or just to make sue, hide it in the bottom of a random cave, or even sink it to the bottom of a lake or river

Hobbits dude

this dumb fucking bait shows up in every thread
there are sea monsters that would feel the power of the ring
Also the will always eventually be found, it has the power to influence the world around it to make it so
That’s why it was sitting at the bottom of the a random stream for ages before being found by a random hobbit by pure luck

The ring was at the bottom of some lake for 2500 years, waiting to be discovered. I'm sure it wouldn't have any issue with some 20 foot deep hole in the ground.

>Bilbo gave up the ring. What's the issue here?
Hobbits can give up the ring if they haven't used it enough because they aren't power hungry by nature. They mostly want to be left alone, so the only reason it was hard for them was time spent with the ring. The ring corrupts by using your own desire against you.

I think the idea is that the ring pulls its wearer partly into the shadow realm. Hence why Frodo can see the Nazgûl as ghost kings while wearing the ring.

Tie ring to arrow. Legolas rides eagle into Mordor. 360 no-scopes arrow into Mount Doom. Doesn't even have to get that close. Ring doesn't even know what's going on until it's already at the mercy of the laws of physics. Easy.

What was The watcher? Did he go for frodo because he felt he has the ring?

My son, Big Hoss, would wear it.

Yeah but the Eagles are obviously too busy flying around the Misty mountains to care about this

You all do realize that hiding the ring was a proposition at the council (at least in the book) but they decided to destroy it to get rid of the final piece of Saurons evil in Middle Earth

lmao its a popcorn flick about elves, dwarves, magicians and shit. its not some deep meaningful story.

Why didn't they just gather the greatest army every seen and march it directly to the lava pit? Sauron would never expect that. Imagine every elf, dwarf and the goodly kingdoms of men on a tireless journey to end a great evil. Much better than sending a few hobbits.

Sauron could spam infinite orcs. They'd lose.

dude, have you seen the movies?

Its explained in the movie. Noone who "could" dig a hole that deep would voluntarily give up the ring. And even if lets say a guy with the ring fell into a 20 foot deep sinkhole, eventually someone would stumble upon the ring, based on Sauron's magic subconsciously luring them near.

Which is the entire motif of hobbits being highly resistant to the ring, since they arent power hungry.

The Ring exists solely for the purpose of getting back to Sauron. It didn't matter where they took the Ring, it would inevitably come back to its master even if it took millennia. Destroying it was the only permanent solution.

The ring affects all creatures. The bugs in the dirt would dig it up and some woodsman would notice a glint of gold.
The only way to bury it is to invent concret, encase the ring in about a 10x10x10 cube of it.
Have that cube buried somewhere and then kill everyone with the knowledge of where it is.
Even then its still a delay tactic.
The cube would fall through the dirt into some Simarillion nerds wet dream of an underworld and break the cube out.

This sort of conventional logic literally doesn't apply to the ring, the movies and its appearance don't actually do justice to the fact it's a magical object crafted by a demi-god.

The ring can change size and shape, it grants nigh-immortality, corrupts the minds and wills of everyone around it, it's a sentient being and wants people to find it.

If you put it in a hole, someone will decide to dig there in short order, not knowing what they're looking for.

If it falls in the ocean, either a sea creature will bring it to the surface, or hell, it can sit at the bottom of a huge lake for 2500 years and still someone will just happen to dive at that exact spot and pick it up.

Plus it's completely impervious to damage, and Sauron was going to win even without it.
