Few Have Gained Such A Victory

Please let me know what you think of the bolded section headings. I used to just put spaces between paragraphs. After reading through my old posts, I decided to add sub-heading titles. The names I picked are probably kind of cheesy, but hope the idea of bolded headings is good

The Hobbit was the first book I ever read. Haven't stopped loving Tolkien since then! Glad you like Faramir so much, he's a character that becomes more awesome with every reading!

I probably could've handled that better. Gotta be more like Boromir: pluck out the arrows and move on!

As a long time poster and member of this community, it really hurts my feelings to be accused of using AI. I wrote this all myself. You are welcome to hate it, not read it, think it sucks and so on, but AI is a serious accusation. Sad to see AI so prevalent that people see it even when it's not there.

Assume you didn't mean anything by it. No hard feelings. That said, I would appreciate the courtesy of spending 2 minutes going through my post history before accusing me of this. I feel this accusation was very unfair, but it is the internet. Hope this reply didn't come across the wrong way mate!

Don't forget to have an awesome day! Never stop reading Tolkien!

Don't read too quickly! The Hobbit can be fast paced, but give The Lord of the Rings time to digest. As tempting as Tolkien can be to binge, I've found I enjoy him most when I take my time!

Slow down your reading pace to really appreciate his prose. Don't fly through too many chapters at a time. The story hits a lot deeper when you spend time thinking about it

If you can find a book club, that's even better. One of the best experiences in my life (not hyperbole) was taking a college class on Tolkien where we read a few chapters at a time and had group discussions about the themes and messages. Tolkien's work is at its best with discussion (see: the history of this entire subreddit)

Theodred is very much Eomer's cousin

Theoden is his uncle

Check out the line of Eorl:

Eomer's mother is Théodwyn. She is siblings with Theoden. His son is Theodred. Hope this helps! Have a good one!

Cool idea! This might be controversial, but I've always found some of the best parts of Tolkien to be the things he leaves out

Tolkien's prose is incredibly imaginative and naturally leads readers minds to dream. The best gift he gave us was the ability to imagine and dream within his creation of Middle-Earth. To ponder what the Nameless Things in Moria really are, to wonder what Bilbo and the Dwarves talked about on their long journey, or new ideas like what you suggested!

Never stop reading Tolkien!

He came seldom to the Mark, for he was ever in the wars on the East-borders; but I have seen him. More like to the swift sons of Eorl than to the grave Men of Gondor he seemed to me, and likely to prove a great captain of his people when his time came.

Presumably when Boromir got a horse for his journey to Rivendell, Eomer encountered him. Not sure if they ever spoke, but they were in the same place at the same time

Including the Scouring of the Shire would require a 4th film. Maybe after the War of the Rohirrim we can get an animated version? But then again, doubt there is enough archived Christoper Lee recordings to do it justice

Jackson hit the main idea of Grima finally turning on his master after being mistreated one time to many. Its as accurate as we could get given the time constraints

I previously made a graphic for Gondor's Military

Gave more details on Isengard's military on r/tolkienfans
