"Destroy it!" "No." "Wasn't talking to you, I was talking about you. Now, ELVEN WARRIORS, destroy "it!"
eldonq
People forget Isildur was also Elrond's (many times removed cuz Elves) nephew, and the Valar tend to frown on Kinslaying.
xxMiTuxx
Can you imagine Sam kicking Frodo into fire and next just THE END
murderhobbit
Elrond doesn't have free will. He can't have killed or fought Isildur because that would have been an evil act, even if done for good
The701
This! Is! MORDOR!
bripi
Well, fair point. +1 elves then

Elrond: CAST IT INTO THE FIRE! Isildur: No. Elrond: *fucking drop-kicks Isildur into the volcano because he's got no immortal time for this*
SXNEXSX
Nobody in middle earth has the willpower needed to destroy the one ring willingly, even Sauron can't destroy it
MandalorianRalf8
Isildur was more powerfull and in posession of The one ring.
HardOnStrokeFoundation
I feel like Elrond kinda paid the price for it, by having to witness what happened due to his inaction for a good many years
bripi
"good many years"...he he he something like 3000. goddamn how that must have hurt....
Baelnorn
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing Elrond fighting Isildur would change is who left with the ring.
Crowlands
Or, Elrond just dies to Isildur, since he has the power of the ring and all.
bripi
Is it possible that Elrond defeats Isildur? Certainly! Did it happen? NO. So, we get the entire tale...and that's why we celebrate it!
xSocksMan
Men of the West on YT made a video about what if Elrond pushed Isildur into the fires of mount doom. TLDR: Bad stuff
xSocksMan
Men and elves would go to war, and Melkor would have won in creating even more chaos.

thats like saying its all her fault for not giving Fëanor one of her shining hairs.

I'm clearly not remembering something here...
TheRealGeorgeMcfly
That was kinda bitchy
FallingStar7669
Smash cut to a very aged Gimli arriving at Valinor with Legolas, and Fëanor is standing there, pouting.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
I feel like this was an important step in Legolas and Gimli's friendship. I know it wouldn't make sense to show in the movies but still...
Jonnythetrout
It's in the extended version. The only TRUE version!
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
It is? I don't remember that part. I know what I'm watching tonight.
Jonnythetrout
It's after they leave Lothloerien. They're riding in the boats and flashing back to what each of them was given.
anyoldmouse
Yeah she's definitely Elrond's mother in law
Tarlon
Here's the problem; NO ONE could resist the ring at Mount Doom. If Elrond slew Isildur and tried to destroy it, he would have fallen too.
Tarlon
(And there would have been a great and terrible war among Elves and Men that would surely have caused untold destruction to both sides.)
mooncactus
Should’ve just yeeted him over the edge with the ring (kinda like Frodo did with Gollum, even though it was somewhat unintentional)
theonetheycalldude
Only in the movie. In the book Gollum stumbles backwards and falls while Frodo is laying on the ground.

It’s called memevolving. Look it up.

I mean dont, I made it up

I mean an elven leader kicking the king of gondor down a volcano wouldnt have ended well either...
HelloToe
Worse than Sauron hanging around another 3000 years?
neoritter
Oh no he fell...
Quarantinous
Everyone in the comments seems to be underestimating the power of the ring. Especially considering that Elrond has one of the elven rings
leperoutcastunclean
Not at the time.
BabeAfett
Just made this exact argument last night. The earth was shaking, just say the king fell in a landslide and kick his ass over the ledge.
sevendragonsandababy
The earth was shaking, the world was quaking, my mind was aching... sorry that's something else.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
"THIS...IS...MIDDLE EARTH!"
cloudandtrains
highly suspicious. "never trust an elf"
beaubrent
Who would fuckin know?
DemonJr
Everybody, when Elrond comes back down Mount Doom alone lol. "I ain't do it, Isildur just thought it was a sauna."
McMasterx
"He tried to fight the temptation to cast it into the Fire, but was forced to throw himself in to end the Threat." -Elrond

It must be nice to have elrond on your side.

Oh I don't know, the entire army of elves and men waiting right outside seeing two walk in but only one come out, maybe?
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Armies: *crickets* Elrond: He fell

the ledge gaveway as he peered over the edge, there was nothing i could do

When men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two men enter; one man leaves!
DanSapSan
Mount Thunderdoom!
UnapologeticTeaEnjoyer
the fact is that they were friends. And Elrond couldn't make the hard choice. That's why the end of the saga of the ring is so integral.
SchrodingerMil
Friends, distance family relatives. Sounds to me like no one would believe he murdered him. Easy win.
eldonq
Not just friends, Isildur was a (many times removed, cuz Elvish immortality) nephew.
UnapologeticTeaEnjoyer
We open at the close
Armored0Titan0
Don’t you dare compare that Y-7 tripe to LoTR.
UnapologeticTeaEnjoyer
also note: Sauron lost his finger to Isildur. Frodo lost his finger to Gollum. Both Sam and Elrond said 'Destroy it' both were refused.
UnapologeticTeaEnjoyer
Sam, unlike Elrond, actually did something about it, and pulled his friend back, not letting him succumb to the madness of the ring.
