Frodo the Hero
Posted by Artanis on 03-26-04
I just thought I would throw my two cents in on the Frodo as hero discussion. I don't think Frodo was any more a hero then the rest of the...

While I agree that Sam is very heroic, I also have noticed tons of posts that say he is a bigger hero than Sam. In my opinion, Sam gets lots of...
More Frodo
Posted by kat on 03-26-04
Sam definatly is one of the hero's of LotR. Frodo couldn't get to Mount Doom without him, however he didn't carry the burden of the ring. This...

Of Course It Took the Entire Fellowship
Posted by Danny on 03-28-04
I never was trying to say anything to the effect that any efforts other than Frodo's weren't heroic nor praiseworthy. Of course it took the entire...

To Elendur: Idea for R

R could be Ring's Destruction! i, myself, wasn't too bothered by it, but hey, it's an idea! ...or, if you (SOMEHOW) didn't like Rivendell, you...
Frodo and R

Hey all, it's been awhile, but I have some time to spare now. Frodo is definitely the hero of LOTR, but I have to agree that he could not have done...

Frodo the Hero

Hi Been an age since I posted here. Account got screwed up & every attampt to reset it failed until just now. Good subject on the Hobbit.
Re: Hobbit Interpetations
Posted by Danny on 04-02-04
The Ring did have some small effects on Bilbo in my mind. Recall that he later felt it silly to tell a different story to his finding the Ring. It...

Good Part

Coronation Song

Hey all. I don't know if you know this, but that song is actually in the book. Aragorn just doesn't sing it.

Hello all, I can confirm that Annatar was right in the lyrics of the song, or at least those were the lyrics used in the movie. Namarie,...

Son of Gondor
Posted by Strider on 04-07-04
I wonder if im the first one to think about this, but does anyone think that Boromir doesn't get the amount of regognition he deserves?
Re:son of Gondor
Posted by Danny on 04-08-04
Yeah I think Frodo's situation is an interesting one to consider. I would like to think that his end was a noble sacrifice, and that he was a hero.
Re: Son of Gondor
Posted by Sirindu on 04-08-04
I completely agree with Strider. I have watched The Fellowship of the Ring with many people, fellow Tolkien fans included, and most of the time a...
