My thoughts on why the Eagles “couldn’t” take the OneRing to Mordor.
So apologies if this has already been suggested, which it most likely has. I’m not good with the search feature.
Also my apologies if I’m getting a bit of the film and books muddled up. I’ve not read them for a few years.
So, the Eagles didn’t approach Mount Doom to rescue Frodo and Sam until the One Ring was destroyed, which had a huge deal to do with Mt Doom.
Sauron was known for blotting out the skies with dark clouds etc.
What if the air around Mt Doom was just too shrouded and toxic for the Eagles to get anywhere near? And it wasn’t until Sauron’s defeat that this “cloud” was dispersed enough for the Eagles to endure?
Sure the Eagles could have dropped Frodo and Sam off close to Mordor, but that would have likely alerted Sauron to something or someone trying to break into his land. After all, a big part of the mission was its secrecy.

What changes in the films worked out better than the books- essentially, what did Peter Jackson do better than the books in describing/writing?
Basically, the title. Tolkien was a master at his craft, of course, that is not in dispute. However, when Peter Jackson made the LOTR trilogy, he made several changes to fit the Story on screen. What do you think are some of those best changes and ones that you wish were in the book?
