Why do all the captures look like LOTR was a 90’s sitcom?
just4thelolz
Somehow Legolas and Gimli's story is the one I'm most interested in. I just love a good bromance. I'd watch a movie based on their antics.

When reading about Arwen dying of a broken heart in the Silmarillion, that got me....right in the feels. My eyes got awful sweaty.

A bad deal: She gave up eternal life and Valinor for a human!

After a year, Merry left the shire went on a trip.. ride an airplane and crashed in a mysterious island together with some strangers.

"Boromir... Was killed by Lurtz." ah ok so this is fake news
DukeDarkwood
Do you know the name of every orc that participated in killing Boromir? Can you say with absolute certainty that none are named 'Lurtz'?
HanSolo312
Decent point there, but a post like this "explaining the story" while mixing the movies and the books up is not a good sign.

The "forth" age, not to be confused with the "fourth".

The forth age was an age of piece

The fifth age was the age of drunks.

The fact that Sam and Frodo reunite is great.

I heard Gimli sells time-shares in Valinor.

Honestly Bombadil is my all-time favorite character in the series with Sam being a close second. I was pissed when he wasn't in the movies.

I was so happy he wasn't. The only section of the books I skip whenever I re-read.

3 weeks ago it started snowing heavily on a Friday so I decided to watch LotR ext version. Again. Today I started audio book at work. Again.
warriorofdiscord
And to think there's young adults today who've never seen/heard/read anything LOTR related besides watching the Hobbit movies. Shame :/
Strider117
I'm currently listening to the audio book. They're just about to enter moria.
VileCoyote
Where did you find the audiobook, and is it any good? Do they do voices? Who's reading it?
Strider117
I believe there was only one full unabridged version ever recorded! Its read by Rob Inglis and I found it on audible.
Strider117
I think the quality is decent enough.

the Hobbits (and Gandalf) come through Bree and they meet Bil. Can't remember if it joined the Hobbits for the Cleansing of the Shire, tho.

"Lurtz" was made up for the movie. In the book, Boromir was killed by an assload of orcs.
DukeDarkwood
We cannot prove beyond all doubt that none of them were named "Lurtz". Ugluk, Shagrat, Bolg, and others prove orcs HAVE names. Just saying.
Thekingofbeans
I mean... I'm pretty sure the book was made up too.
Doumdidoum
Ugluk claimed to have killed Boromir if I remember correctly.
ArgonSpark
An assload? Isn't this a kids book?
DukeDarkwood
The Hobbit was, in its original form. The Lord of the Rings was more general audiences.
NightDany
more like, it's for everyone

It's not a kids book. But, like, even if it was, I assure you, the word "assload" does not occur in it.

Piece? Thain?!
Rowee
Thain means leader I think
Mokelzwerg
Thain was a title as king/lord/prince of the hobbits.
AliBarber
Ah. I'm used to seeing it thane
LvAllen
More like commander-in-chief, and it was a hereditary title. The mayor held the real power - He presided over feasts.
Mokelzwerg
Commander-in-Chief? As in leader of the armed hobbit forces? Constitutional aristocracy fits probably more.
LvAllen
Wouldn't you need a constitution for that? The hobbits themselves created the title after the last King in the west died.
Mokelzwerg
Well then just hereditary lordship? But the Brandybocks are also kind of lords and the Baggins are at least gentry.
DukeDarkwood
Ehhh.... Thain was the hereditary title of the patriarch of the Took clan in the Great Smials. The Tooks were THE founding family of the

How did Sam follow if Frodo left on the last ship?
MsDifficulty
SAM NO! YOU CAN'T SWIM!!
Feanor94
Also Frodo, Bilbo and Gimli didnt reach Valinor as only Elves, Valar and Maiar can live in those lands, the same reason Eärendil becameastar
EchoOfSnac
I heard the theory somewhere that they went to Tol Eressëa, but it's uncertain if that would have made a difference. It's more likely that →
EchoOfSnac
they were exceptions to the rule as Eärendil was.

That's why its phrased "it is believed". The poor sod set out on a hopeless journey.

He gave the Red Book to his daughter, and went on a journey. Likely eaten by trolls. He made more'n a mouthful when he was skinned & boned.
DarthFutuza
Nasty fat hobbitses meets his scrumptious end.
YouCapturedMe
(it wasn't really the last ship) the last ship was technically Legolas and Gimli's ship that Legolas built for themselves. Best bromance!
BellCranel
If Bilbo, Frodo, and Gandalf left on the last ship to Valinor, how then did Sam get there? Did he swim?

But he also loved elves, and extended the hobbits land west beyond the shire towards the Havens were Cirdan dwelt.
Kyra1992
As Frodo’s loyal and devoted servant, he had suffered the journey to Mordor and Mount Doom He bore the One Ring “if only for a little while”

and withstood its temptation. So his painful journey and his love of Frodo earned him a place on a ship
