He's nuking Mordor though, not the Ring. Mordor wouldn't survive, but Sauron probably would survive, since his fate is tied to the Ring, which hasn't been destroyed. So Pippin didn't really do anything other than kill some orcs and trolls.

So basically the fireworks scene again, but on a slightly grander scale?

It would would probably kick saurons time table a bit back

Eh, for an immortal Maia, any delay is but a minor annoyance.

I know it isn't like this in the books but if you killed every single orc and glassed Mordor, and Sauron doesn't have a body and can't retake one without the ring...what's he going to do? Turn his shitty eye and shoot bad vibes at your forever? Just don't live near him (you glassed it anyways ). Pretty funny to think of Sauron still alive but utterly impotent because all his servants are dead and he's still disembodied.

Yeah but I am talking about nuking the ring itself. Like you mentioned Sauron is tied to the ring, and destroying the ring will kill him. Would a nuke take out the ring?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I was working from your premise that the Ring could survive a nuke. If it can't, then Sauron is dies too.

I guess it depends on how the Ring can be destroyed. Is it purely a matter of temperature, or does Mount Doom have some extra special magic?

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

My guess is there is some magic involved, but that is pure speculation on my part. Could just be temperature.
