Reply to comment by Chaladan in The LOTR The Return of the King is a great film but the confrontation with the Ghost Army has always puzzled me. by verc1ngetor1x

Additionally, the ring doesn't have the 'power of Invisibility'. The ring contains Sauron's power, which is of the unseen world. Creatures who do not exist in this realm, are pulled there, and appear to disappear from the physical world when wearing the ring. This 'world' is more like a spiritual layer on our world.

If a creature who exists in both the Seen and Unseen wears the ring, nothing remarkable would seem to happen. So I believe if Elves wear the one ring, they wouldn't turn invisible. Perhaps even the three rings they wear would turn a mortal invisible by placing them in the unseen world as the one ring does.

Sauron of course exists in both realms, so wearing the ring doesn't switch him from Seen to Unseen like it does a Hobbit. And then as you say Chaladan, he just doesn't have the strength to manifest a physical body without the ring any longer.

It’s a shame we’ll never know how much Dillashaw’s juicing changed their first fight. If Garbrandt wins their first meeting, I think his career goes very differently. Dude got KO’d a bunch after that loss, trying to get it back.

A lot of King's non horror stuff jacks with me. I jacked with Shawshank. I'd argue that The Stand isn't horror either and I really jacked with that one.
