I don't understand, he is a freaking wizard.

I like cheese more than you
Except Blue Stilton. That stuff is nasty. As is any cheese that contains stuff other than cheese

Because of reasons

In all honestly, that would make a pretty boring story

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

Teleportation isn't part of Lord of the Rings magic.
And the Eagles couldn't get into Mordor until the Nazgul and fell beasts were dead.

Then they could have just made him a wiseful old dude who wasn't a wizard, right?

Because Gandalf can't teleport?

Didn't the eagles kill/fight them when they attacked Mordor in the last big fight scene....

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.
Hidden in the shadows, Clothed in camo, Armed to the teeth. Hunting.

Gandalf's powers do not include teleporting. Even if he could they would probably be part of the powers he isn't allowed to use.

Gandalf isn't really much of a wizard in the first place! He uses his sword like 99% of the time. Still...favorite movies ever.

Haha, yes. The eagles really have some idea that helping contribute to changing the world in some crazy way is not their job, and they wouldn't interfere with it. I don't really remember the whole history though.

Yes, but they only entered Mordor itself until after Sauron was dead and his armies scattered or killed. Trying to fly into Mordor with Sauron still alive would be too risky, practically a suicide mission.

They call me graland.

1. Gandalf can't teleport.
2. If they tried flying in on eagles, they'd get spotted miles away and killed long before they made it near Mordor.

Hello.

You don't simply teleport into Mordor.
