'They could have superglued the Ring on top of a missile': Lord of the Rings Fans Debunk the Goofiest Alternatives to Save Frodo the Hassle of Journeying to Mordor on Foot

Frodo and Sam's descent into the pits of Mordor is probably one of the most harrowing tales of heroics ever told. While their death-defying journey is marked by perilous foes and bewildering evils, these two tiny Hobbits defy all odds and destroy the Ring of Power, thus vanquishing the most evil Maiar ever to exist in Middle Earth.
