Frodo should have just flown one of the eagles to mount doom. Oh I’m sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
I once argued that Gandalf, with his mastery of magical fireworks, should have worked with the dwarves and elves to make a single stage rocket launcher with the ring as a payload. The Soviets made single stage rocket launchers that could make it the roughly 300 miles from Rivendale to Mordor, so I figured with the craftsmanship of the dwarves, the light and strong materials of the elves, and Gandalf’s magical fireworks they could make something to go at least a hundred miles. Then he could get on Eagle back, her high enough up for a good trajectory and fire the ring straight into the lava before Sauron could even focus on the eagle popping up on the horizon
Just don’t miss, that would be bad
Not worse that any other plan, where you have to drag The Ring to Barad-dur.
The nazgul have flying mounts, and eagles would have been spotted immediately.
What followed would have been an aerial middle earth version of football.
Honestly, I'd still watch that movie.
