  1. Wasn't it like they didn't want to intervene because whatever and they only helped Gandalf because they liked him and then saved Frodo and Sam and the soldiers because mortals already won? They are OP in LOTR lore and could get Frodo to Mount Doom easy. Carrying a ringbearer should not influence them as it did not influence Sam when he carried Frodo to Mount Doom – mind you, he got a little possessed when he carried the ring but no problem when he carried Frodo carrying the ring.

  2. Wasn’t Peter Jackson forbidden from covering anything not explicitly mentioned in the Hobbit and LotR? As in, not able to mention Silmarillion material. That’s the impression I was under. That’s why the Hobbit could only scrape the bottom of its own barrel.

  3. You forgot Rataghast the Brown, the two other Blue wizards, and in terms of Valar, what of Tomb Bombadil? When the ents first arrived into being, they even said they saw him there. When the elves arrived, they found him there! Hell, he is even called the “Eldest” in the elven tongues, as his wisdom and age surpasses even that of Lady Galadriel.

  4. The ring didn't exactly turn Hobbits invisible because they were a low powered race, but rather because the ring of might amplifies the very being of the wearer.
    It literally states in the scene called "concerning hobbits" that they were "content to […] be ignored" and that they were "neither renowned as great warriors, nor counted among the very wise".
    As this description there's no physical prowess or magical affinity that could possible be enhanced, thus their ability to go unnoticed by everybody else is what is enhanced by the ring. The ring would have a very different effect for everybody. It seems weird that Isildur turned invisible in the opening scene, which however was never stated in the books to occur.

  5. It's so nice to see someone FINALLY disproving the Eagle Theory. The Eagle Theory is stupid and the Eagles don't even like us anyway, it's right there in the Hobbit (the book)

  6. This came out at a very interesting moment. I am currently writing my senior thesis for college on the lord of the rings and I remember I was talking to some friends about this same thing when figuring out what to write about.

  7. The eagles didn't take down a giant dragon, ëarendil in his magic flying ship did. Also there is but one god, eru, the one. He created the godlike Valar. Also he mentioned just 3 while there were like 14. Eagles were on the same level as ents.

  8. YES! This is it! The fourth aspect of the theorist wheel we've all been waiting for!
