Might recall wrong but Frodo did not destroy the One Ring, didn't he? He tried to protect it and use it but tripped on a meat-hungry Gollum at the last second.

Yes, I think the most accurate version is Gollum accidentally destroyed it while stealing it from Frodo.

"Accidentally"

It's "war story", not "war facts"!

He got it closer than most ever could. Give him some credit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Fair point, he literally got it at just a finger's length to destruction.

Frodo could carry the ring and remain undetected.

Sam could carry Frodo and remain uncorrupted.

Sam took the ring bearer to Mt. Doom where the ring destroyed itself.

That's a great take. I never considered that the ring's machinations essentially led to its own destruction.
