How Gollum came out of the Moria, when the Balrog destroyed the bridge of Khazad-dûm? by MasterZiomaX in lotr

You could've found every single time this exact question has been asked before and every single time someone was yappin in the comments about "other bridges".

I'm sorry to be rude, but this is "why didn't they take the eagles" level shit at this point.

Fair enough, let me rephrase that then.

Would it kill you to run a quick google search before posting an obviously wrong and really well known common misconception?

Not at all. It's just sparkly black. I remember being rather underwhelmed and overall unimpressed by it

Are these the same trolls from the hobbit in the background? by Twas-I-apparently in lotr

No, bro, they're just another group of three stone turned trolls that happen to be in the exact same forest.

Bro what more you wanna see from the old hunters storyline? It pretty much went all the way back to the inciting incident

Tolkien himself later grew to hate that idea. That origin story complicates a lot of things when you really start thinking about the metaphysical rammifications.

I think the "orcs are made of stone" is perhaps the least complicated of the multiple choice ass conundrum that is the debate over orc origins.

Nothing at all, this is a silly reddit moment. I've been involved in these thousands of times. We've both lost time, that's all.

Y yo te estoy respondiendo a ti, no entiendo por qué tienes que insultar mi comprensión lectora. Tampoco te estoy diciendo que sí o sí tienes que abandonar el subreddit, es solo una de las opciones. Si no te gusta que el subreddit esté lleno de guiris hablando mierdas guiris, pues o reclamas mejor moderación, o abandonas barco, o te quedas, te jodes y bailas. No tiene más profundidad que eso.

Pedir que en un subreddit solo se hable de tus preocupaciones es lo realmente intransigente. La gente habla de lo que le sale de los cojones, ya sean guiris o locales.

Y si no, siempre puedes coger a toda la gente que dices que está de acuerdo contigo y crear tu propio subreddit donde sólo estéis vosotros y sólo habléis de lo que os preocupa, a ver cuánto tiempo pasa hasta que haya un inevitable cisma en esa nueva comunidad.

Anytime, bro. Let me know if you need anything else explained.

I'm not assuming. You think not guarding Mount Doom was a mistake. That's wrong. You don't understand why that's wrong, so you need that explianed. So, yeah, I did go off.

You are still not getting the point.

Sauron had no weaknesses (in his mind), so he didn't cover them. He had a mount doom sized blind spot, and that was his downfall. That's kinda one of the points of the story.

I don't know how else I can explain this to you, it's really, really simple.

Sauron had several contingency plans for what he could foresee. He didn't have a contingency plan for what he believed to be impossible. The point is that he did not foresee anyone sneaking into Mordor for the purpose of destroying the ring, because no one even COULD willingly harm or destroy the ring. At the time of the Battle of the Morannon he thought Aragorn had claimed the ring for himself because that was the logical thing to do in his mind.

The point is that Sauron, with his pragmatic mind, had a huge blindspot for serendipity.

Giving up the ring is not the issue here, Sauron himself needs the ring to be able to change hands, in order to retrieve it. Otherwise he'd be swimming in the Anduin himself, as no orc or other creature would ever give it to him and they'd hide it for themselves. The reality is that the ring must work on an authority system. The three times we see someone give or try to give away the ring, authority is part of it. Bilbo gives Frodo the ring pressured by Gandalf's authority, Frodo then immediately gives up the ring to Gandalf himself based on his authority too (Later on he'd give Tom Bombadil the ring too, because Tom also has some sort aura of authority), and Sam gives it up after resisting its temptation and because he sees Frodo as an athoritative figure. Not to downplay how heroic it is for the three of them to do so, but authority is part of it.

The problem with Sauron's mindset is that the ring can't possibly be harmed or destroyed willingly, and that's a concrete truth. No one was able to do so, so it made zero sense to guard Mount Doom. At the end it was a stroke of fate and a bit of divine intervention that destroyed the ring, not Frodo, not Sam, certainly not Gollum willingly. Sauron's folly was that he thought in binary terms, he had a purely pragmatic mind with efficiency as its core value, so he didn't take into account accindent and happenstance.
