I love the movies. Read the Hobbit and started reading Lord of the Rings books. Some questions for those who have read into them.
1: why didn't Frodo just fly on an eagle all the way to Mount Doom and destroy the ring in like 3 hours?
2: on Weather top Aragorn before he has developed properly is able to fight off 5 or 6 of the Ring Wraiths; one of whom is the Witch king of Angmar yet in Return of the King the Ring wraiths and particularly The Witchking are near invincible. How did they get dicked on so easily by Aragorn and a bunch of Hobbits?
3: if Saruman had sided with the forces of good from the start it would have been a squash match. Why did he think they were doomed when even without him and his 10,000 Urukai they were able to win?
4: why did the dwarves not come to fight in the LOTR trilogy? Were they all dead? Seems if the fate of Middle Earth was at stake they should have formed some sort of army even 5000 or so to help at Helms Deep or Minas Tirith.
5: this one really bugs me. in the extended version of return of the King Gandalf is confronted by the Witch King at Minas Tirith and shits himself. The Witch King breaks his staff and is about to kill him before being distracted. Problem I have is Gandalf is meant to be the strongest character in Tolkiens universe (nearly) and almost on God status. Why on earth did they put that in the movie? Gandalf would have smashed the Witch King with ease.
Help me.
