23 years later, Lord of the Rings fans think they've spotted a big Return of the King plot hole
Fans are discussing a potential plot hole in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King concerning Frodo's Mithril shirt and Shelob's stinger. While the movie depicts Shelob stabbing Frodo through the stomach, bypassing the armor, the book details the encounter differently. Theories suggest it was a filming oversight or that Shelob's unique nature allowed her stinger to penetrate the Mithril.
