LOTR: Why Didn’t The Eagles Take Frodo To Mordor?

Over the years, there have been quite a few pieces of Lord of the Rings trivia or lore that have become infamous within the fandom, as well as outside of it with the general population. There are memes that are widely shared (such as the classic “One does not simply walk into Mordor” one), as well as trivia that basically becomes an inside joke for fans as they’re watching (such as the fact that Viggo Mortenson broke his toe while filming one scene and that specific take made the final cut, which is a fact that fans love to regale their less-knowledgeable friends with). These memes and questions often end up becoming just as iconic as the main events of the story itself.
