Why couldn't gandalf just get the huge bird to take frodo to drop the ring?

Nazgûl. Eagles can’t outfly the fell beasts, and Sauron would DEFINITELY spot eagles trying.

As far as i know, Sam and Bilbo was the only two "mortals" ever able to willing give away the ring after wearing it. And if we consider how other hobbits was both instantly subjugated (Smeargle), or slowly corrupted (Frodo), this is quite something.

But too be fair, Sam only had it for a short time. Also in the movies he also struggles to give it back to frodo (I can't remember the books). Watch it again and you can see him hesitating and only giving it back when frodo prompts him harsher. Though you could interpret it as him not being sure whether it is a good idea for frodo's health that frodo gets the ring back. Same with bilbo where Gandalf had to influence him quite a bit.

It's more of less the same in the books, with the ring promising him power and riches. He also actually appears as a terrible warrior to the orcs, not just because of a trick of the light.

The rat would turn feral super fast... I ain't holding it. Fucker might try to burrow through me to get away.

Can confirm. Had to wash a shit load of bubble soap off of my cat this evening (toddler) and she, being as sweet and domesticated as she is, became a feral rat real fuckin' quick.
