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?

Just don’t miss, that would be bad
Not worse that any other plan, where you have to drag The Ring to Barad-dur.
Well I just paid!
No you haven’t
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.
Origins of Quidditch revealed.
I’d like to hear both sides of the full argument please of that’s a real offer. I don’t think he was useless, but I do think there must have been better choices for the task
Not meant to have been a real offer, but sure.
I’ve come across a few comments (back on Reddit) where people argued that Sam would’ve been a better pick for the role as he does more in the movies, and yeah in the movies Frodo is a little more fragile, but in the books he does do more.
I suppose the main drive of the meme is that some downplay Frodo’s role, whereas I think he is a good character and has his moments.

Yeah, the ring definitely still tried to fuck with Sam. At one point he held the ring for a couple of days and it started tempting with visions of a HUGE garden in the shire all to himself. All in all, he and Bilbo were the only 2 people in history to willingly give up the ring, but I think if he was exposed as long as Frodo, the outcome would be very much the same.
And you have to wonder, if Sam had been the ringbearer…would Frodo have been such a selfless wingman?
