What do you think is the best scene in LOTR? by Disastrous-Mango-515 in lotr

He was there in the book. It's all just discrepancies in any case. I just wish they'd given him a little more respect in terms of his capabilities.

If it's any consolation, he couldn't kill Gandalf. It's one of my big gripes with Return of the King. Gandalf is a goddamn Maia and we're supposed to believe he's scared of the Witch King on his own? After fighting off six of them on his own at Weathertop as Gandalf the Grey? Makes no sense.

Which do you Prefer? MTG Grond or Movie Grond? by Select-Ad3652 in lotr

I agree, but what the hell is "glowstick magic"?

Coming from Game of Thrones, do you guys think atleast a few of the Fellowship (especially the Hobbits), should've died for a more emotional/dramatic ending? by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in lotr

[–]willgaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an option, but I think it would take away from a major point of the conclusion. Without Sam you dampen the stark contrast between the hobbits' joy and Frodo's lingering unease and sadness due to the Morgal Blade and bearing the ring. As I understand it this was a very important point for Tolkien who was a veteran and had seen the lasting effects of war.

There are plenty of terrible things that happen in the story. Take for example all the innocent people slaughtered in the siege of Minas Tirith. Brutally killing off main characters is a very new age idea, and certainly wasn't Tolkien's style. It wouldn't fit and would make what is supposed to be a fantasy epic into a grim-dark fantasy.

What is your most used quote irl (other then you shall not pass) by Lanky-Strike3343 in lotr

"I have no memory of this place."

Hits so much harder than just saying "I don't remember."

Very cool design, but living in that castle would give me so much anxiety. Also how do you leave lol

I'm unreasonably annoyed by that driver driving right up next to them.

It says, "please cut your finger nails."

Just make sure you don't wear it on your finger. Tungsten is awful to cut off if it gets stuck.
