could at least send glorfindel with them imo

apparently in the first draft of fellowship he actually was part of the quest??? wtf tolkien

this has the same problem as sending an army, it's a big beacon to the bad guys flashing "hey something real interesting's going on over here"

isn't Glorfindel Calaquendi? sending one of the few remaining Noldor lords would be a big deal, Legolas is small fry by comparison. and yes a lot of them were planning to go to Minas Tirith rather than head toward Mordor with Frodo.

how is Gandalf not a failson he didn’t do anything of note for the first 20k+ years of Arda’s existence and almost got punked by Sauron on 1% battery

don't forget that he spent a great deal of that time couchsurfing
