So Frodo just enters without any guards there?

And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dûr was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare. Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung.

>It is the only place where the ring can be ”un-made”? The only way Sauron dies?

In Tolkien's world, evil is undone by itself. It is related to the way that Eru Iluvatar reconciles evil back into harmony with the good of creation. Sauron's hubris didn't allow him to conceive of the idea that someone would actually try to destroy the ring. He is actually correct, because Frodo finally decides to keep the ring. But then an incident of eucatastrophe occurs. An unexpected, really good event. Gollum, who is still alive because Frodo was merciful earlier, steals the ring back and then falls in.

they just kind of forgot about the volcano

>Somehow I don’t think what defeated Sauron was his arrogance kek and Tolkien would never write something so cheesy

There are other examples of it too. The Witch King is undone because in his hubris he believes that a prophecy foretells his invincibility, when in fact he is killed by a member of the weaker sex and a lowly hobbit. Saruman isn't killed by the hobbit rebellion during the scouring of the shire. Wormtongue has had enough of taking Saruman's shit and Wormtongue slits Saruman's throat.

a crummy bucket of water? you should have brought pokemon creatures

mount doom is considered federal property in mordor. How was he supposed to know that Frodo would commit a felony and trespass without a permit?

as opposed to trespassing WITH a permit?

Idiot.

entering mount doom requires a minerals permit since he is physically going into the earth. So that's two different permits

It was a Ring-free zone.

Based.

you will probably spend your life being confused about why nobody recognizes your 'intelligence'

Yeah, it was a team effort.

Lava is a hot commodity in Middle Earth

I told you I'm just here for my eagle license, I won't even be touching the ground.

Sauron (rightly) believed that no one could willingly destroy the ring, as other anons have said. Also, Aragorn fucked with Sauron on the palantir and decided to focus all his energy on killing Isildur's heir before he could unite an army. If he was successful doing that he wouldn't even need the ring

Why didn’t Sauron just make another ring that’s more powerful?

Why didn't Led Zeppelin ever make a Stairway To Heaven 2?

That was all the gold he had at the time since the dwarves were hoarding it all in their man pussy metaphors. He also felt that his artistic permissions didn't allow him to try to one up himself. That wouldn't make any sense on any earth, inside, outside, or middle.

>Pippin for touching that fucking arrow in Moria and saving middle earth
Could you elaborate? How did Pippin saved Middle Earth by touching the arrow?

yeah, why?

Because the first one was so over played no one wants to hear a sequel.

Because Stairway to heaven isn't even that good.

Gandalf fought the Balrog, disappeared, and returned as Gandalf the White, immensely more powerful than his Grey form.
