Nobody is saying Lord of the Rings would be a better story if the eagles just flew Frodo to Mordor. We’ve been saying it would have made for better storytelling if one of the characters briefly explained why that seemingly obvious solution wasn’t an option.
I mean, the eagles don’t care enough about Middle Earth to make one air delivery in order to save it yet they care about shit like dwarves stranded in trees and who gets to keep the dragon gold? C’mon.
