Sauron would be able to do that and the eagle would have been toasted in seconds.

On the contrary, I think it's lovely and well executed. Also, did you consider the 1978 context of this film when bitching about the character design? Fantasy art was not as varied in '78 as it is now, encompassing so many cultures and ideals. Frank Frazetta's work was no doubt inspiration for at least some of the designs in the film. YES Aragorn looks like a native American!!! Who cares, it's actually kind of cool...and Galadriel is a FOX in Bakshi's version!!!
