From the moment the giant eagles arrived to fly Frodo and Sam out of Mordor, fans and critics of The Lord of The Rings all asked the same question: why didn’t Gandalf the Grey just get the eagles to fly the ring into Mordor and destroy it the moment he found it? One fan theory claims that was Gandalf’s plan the entire time. But with Sauron’s spies lurking everywhere, he couldn’t share the plan until the Fellowship was in the clear, on the other side of the mountains where the evil wizard Saruman couldn’t stop them, or send word ahead to Mordor.
But when Gandalf ended up falling into the depths of Moria, he’d forgotten about it completely when he returned as Gandalf the White. Apparently, his last words to the Fellowship tried to clue them in: “Fly, you fools!”
Thank You!
