Elijah Wood is indeed a gem of an actor. I suggest watching him in Sin City. Frodo behaves a lot like an idiot in the books too. Gandalf wanted the ring to be kept by a Hobbit as he had noticed that they seemed somehow far more resistant against the influence of the ring than any other race. Still Frodo was rather chosen by Bilbo who took him in and made him his heir. After he inherited the ring Gandalf simply wanted the ring to stay with him as he fear if anybody else would take it, it would instantly corrupt the new bearer.

Well, he messed up with farmer Maggot long before he became the ring bearer. In may opinion he was kind of a spoiled brat. Also Sam took the ring in Minas Morgul and had no problem giving it back whatsoever, so he probably would have been the better ring bearer. Anyway Frodo did a good job dealing with his task. He showed some great wisdom and generosity, but he also had moments of foolish or selfish behavior and not all of those can be excused by him bearing the ring.
@Diogenes20772 жыл бұрын
I think your claim is not quite correct. Wtf? Bilbo carried and occasionally used the ring for a period of about 60 years. For Smeagol it is not completely clear how much he resisted the ring, but he owned the ring for centuries. Frodo had the ring for only about 18 years. Considering his reaction to Bilbo in Elrond's house, he was influenced quite a bit also.

@reedschadegg90232 жыл бұрын
On the reading thing, I think it's more books can have better more flushed out story's making them better then what you can get from a movie and this is mostly from just the amount of time. Generally a book is 20 plus hours of content (one normal paperback novel size) where a movie is 2-3 hours, shows are generally 10-12 hours over a season (plus with the added weirdness of needing beginning and endings for each episode). When you look at it that way it's makes it pretty amazing that people can make such great stories in movies that are so short. Books just have a massive advantage in the amount of content that is considered normal for the medium. Edit: basing the time for books on how long audio books for the book are as that translates a bit better to video medium, obviously how long it takes to read a book depends on the individual.

Frodo's strength lies in his tenacity and purity. He doesn't want the power that the ring offers, so he keeps himself from using it. Someone like Sam, that I think we can all respect, would want that power to perhaps defend Frodo. He'd use the ring and be corrupted by it. Ultimately, the Lord of the Rings is a story about the importance of having friends you can rely on when you're at your weakest.
@Triumph6332 жыл бұрын
The reason why Gandalf gave Frodo the ring is because Frodo was the only one not tempted by its power. The only one who didnt want the ring, he only used it when he was afraid, while Gandalf was tempted by it and so was Samwise. The reason Frodo left Samwise behind is this very reason. So Frodo always was the only choice and the right one :>

Neither Gandalf nor Elrond wanted the ring to go any place other than distruction. Frodo had the ring. It chose him. Not the other way around.

Considering a standard game it wouldn't be obvious or considered but scouting for a second racks in the main might trigger the protoss to assume 3 racks which requires a bigger commitment to units earlier and henceforth be more prepared for an attack. 3.
