>this ring which grants the user the ability to turn invisible but still be seen and instantly spotted by Sauron will allow us to defeat Sauron

>>211537404 (OP)
did you miss the part where they say if you destroy the ring you destroy sauron and 6 million orcs?

If you just ignore the shitty world building and only enjoy the Fellowship movie, it becomes much, much better.

>>211537463
6 million? Are you sure it’s 6 million?

HIS NAME MEANS WAND ELF REEEEEEEE

lotr should have been musical

Oh, shit, is that the magical ring that repsresents all evil fused into a single superweapon?
Look, that human king guy is keeping it.
Now he's writing down his observations about the ring.
Now he's dead.
I guess I'll sit around for 400 years.
That's odd, my little traveling companion picked up a magic ring in dubious circumstances.
I guess I'll sit around for 80 years.
Well, now my little hobbit friend is retiring and he's giving that ring to his nephew.
I guess I'll sit around for 40 years.
Maybe I should go read what the king guy wrote down about his ring 600 years ago?
HOLY FUCK! This is now an emergency!

>hell yes Im dismantling this fantasy movie with facts and logic checkmate
Dont care, will keep watching it at least once a year and tell everyone theyre my favourite movies

>>211537463
More like a couple of hundred thousand orcs as a result of isolated massacres and disease and starvation

>>211537751
There's lots of magic rings

>>211538389
This - you think in the SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS sauron was with the elves in Eregion as Annatar they only made 20 rings? They made a shit ton of rings as essays and treatises of ring-lore.

>>211537507
cool it with the antisemitic remarks

All explained in the books. There were many magic rings around, and invisibility powers weren't unique either. The fact that it prolonged the wearer's life is exactly what first made Gandalf suspicious, and even then it wasn't a sure thing.

>>211539796
The troubleshooting was to just throw it into the fire, which isn't hard to do. Gandalf is just a stoned retard.

I don't really see the bad guys as bad guys just people trying to have free will. That's the entire thing that starts it all.
I would have revolted I want free will.

He didn't know about the fire thing until he read Isildur's scroll, after which he ran to warn Frodo straight away.

also - a huge amount of time during that period he was out wandering the wilds with Aragorn searching for Gollum. After like, 15-20 years of that was when he went off to Minas Tirith to do research while Aragorn kept hunting.

>>211540026
Why didn't he just ask google? Gandalf is so dumb haha

>>211537404 (OP)
does the ring do that in the book too or is that just the movies vague interpretation of the rings powers?
they say stuff about how the ring can control other peoples minds and i know make them live unnaturally long like gollum or something

That's literally how languages form and change over time. Every word you use was once slightly different and evem more different as you go back in time

>>211543108
i wasn't aware that chinese and english had a common root

>>211537751
Gandalf didn't know about any of that while it was happening, he was busy getting groomed by Nienussy

>>211538389
Yeah and ALL of them were created by Sauron. There is NO scenario where Bilbo finds ANY magic ring and Gandalf is justified in doing nothing for 80+ years

>>211546026
Sauronman and elves made magic rings.

>>211546026
Gandalf literally confronts Bilbo as soon as he sees that Bilbo has a ring, tells him it shouldn't be used lightly and he's had it long enough.

Why exactly didn't Candorff put Fredo on an eagle. Seems like a big plothole imo

why didnt they just send Bombardilo Tomcrodillo

>>211548645
isn't gamdulf like an immortal timeless wizard or something?
he would totally just be fucking around right?
like this whole saga is just another dnd campaign to him

>>211546026
No they absolutely weren't, wtf are you on about? It is clearly stated that the Eregion Elves were practicing their ring making for quite some time before they made the big 9+7+3. So there can be like 50 lesser rings laying about in random dark caves or old tombs and some of them can very well have invisibility powers. Honestly the entire reason why The One seems o be so simple in its power might be targeted deception created by The Ring itself in order to pass itself off as a mostly harmless trinket of no great power.

Why did Legolas not know the answer to the riddle was to speak friend in Elvish?
