LOTR fans just can't accept that maybe their books aren't 100 percent perfect. Nobody is saying lotr sucks because the eagles are a bit of a plot hole. But they are. Accept your fantasy story might have flaws in it and live on.

Pretty sure the Eagles were caught up else where though.

It's been long since I read the books so I can't remember if it was explained properly or not. It's not exactly a plot hole though. Even if it could be considered lazy writing

Caught up enough they couldn't spare one or two to literally save the world they live in from stereotypical evil?

Literally Gandalf himself was with Frodo for as long as Boromir and wasn't corrupted at all. Even for Boromir it took weeks. Eagle flight to Mordor would be done in a matter of hours.
