    How does Gollum differ throughout the films?

    I think he did it smart on that one. In the book Gollum is depicted as dark. But realistically if you were in a cave with no sunlight, being pale is most likely to be a thing. But in Fellowship of the Ring movie, Gollum is depicted as dark looking in that one. And then Two Towers is when you...

    Does anyone else think Gollum/Sméagol is cute?

    The eyes are sooo big...

    Gollum's debate with himself

    Hey. I am rereading the Lord of the Rings (this time in English not in Polish). I am on Book 4. There is one thing that seems weird to me. Sam overhears the conversation that Gollum has with Smeagol that he wants 'her' to kill them. And yet he suspects nothing when he leads them to Shelob. Did...

    Crafting scenes from the lord of the ring

    Hello everyone, I would like to share with you my passion / hobbie / I don't know what to do on sunday. I craft scenes from the lord of the ring out of foam, glue and clay. This is 5 minutes videos showing the different building stages. I hope you will enjoy it! Greetings Benjamin

    Why didn't Gollum simply steal back the ring?

    Here's a question I would like answered! Why didn't Gollum just 'take the ring' from Frodo as Frodo and Sam slept? I mean I know he was loyal (as Smeagol) to Frodo but Gollum was still active as a dark 'ring fueled' entity. Sam tried his best to stay awake to protect Frodo, but there were times...

    👁️Sauron and Gollum

    A pivotal event in the LotR story is when Sauron learnt of the finding of the Ring. This event triggered every important action from there: the requirement to the Dwarves for information on Bilbo Baggins, the initial attack of Osgiliath, the search quest of the Nazgûl, and what have you. I...

    Gollum actor Serkis to raise cash by reading entire Hobbit live online

    This might be very interesting. He was excellent as Gollum in the movies and it's not his fault for the disgraceful end product that PJ created. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52568497 ⛲

    Could the Ring have corrupted most Hobbits like it did Gollum?

    "I think it is a sad story," said the wizard, "and it might have happened to others, even some hobbits that I have known." - Gandalf in The Shadow of the Past. At first glance, Gollum seems prone to evil in that he seems to fall under the Ring's sway pretty quickly and be led to commit murder...

    The mystery of Gollum...

    Hi. Gollum comes to mind when you think of villains in LoTR. I always have niggling questions about him, and I bet you do too. I need answers!!!😡:) Here are some questions I have. Please answer if possible and give me more questions to ponder!😀 Gandalf says Gollum wasn’t to different from a...

    The Hunt for Gollum

    Stumbled upon the 40 min. long film "The Hunt for Gollum", a prequel to LOTR ... "Award winning unofficial prequel to The Lord Of The Rings dramatising Aragorn & Gandalf's long search for Gollum. This 40 minute film, made by fans for fans is based on the appendices of LOTR and was painstakingly...

    Was Smeagol truly evil to begin with?

    I know he killed his friend, but Gandalf says something about what happened to him being all too likely to have happened to quite a few Hobbits in the Shire had they been in his place. This seems odd, since the number of evil Hobbits that we know of in the Shire we can probably count on one...

    What if Gollum had survived the Ring's destruction?

    The thought crossed my mind just now and it would be interesting to see what would have happened to his personality had the dangerous influences of his "precious" been removed. Obviously, if, for instance, he'd been somewhere else in Mordor when the Ring went down (maybe a fight between Frodo...

    Funny Gollum & Smeagol being drunk - video

    I always enjoyed acting like Gollum & Smeagol. I really loved their conversations amongst themselves. So I tried to act like them and created this video (just for laughs). Curious what you guys think of it.

    How did Gollum know that Bilbo had NOT been caught by the 🧌goblins?

    Gollum even remarked that he feared that the goblins would capture Bilbo and end up getting the Ring. How did he ever figure out that Bilbo was not a prisoner of the goblins but was even alive? (Bilbo had plenty of places he could have died: Mirkwood, Smaug's lair, the Battle of Five...

    How did Gollum know that Frodo was a Baggins?

    Hail and well met! I'm brand new to this forum and this is my first post. I've been reading so many postings today - all very interesting and informative. I've read the LOTR many times and have listened to the audiobooks even more and I have yet to understand how Gollum knew that Frodo was a...

    Why did 👁️Sauron let Gollum live?

    Of all the mistakes Sauron made, letting Gollum go alive was probably his WORST, well, other than him agreeing to join Melkor and not seeking pardon after Melkor's fall. It was a HUGE risk to let Gollum go free after him being interrogated. What if someone was able to figure out where he'd...

    Why didn't the Ring try and get to Gollum sooner in 🌋Mordor?

    The Ring is treacherous to anybody (save Sauron) that wears it or gets it: 1.) It corrupted Isildur so that he spared it. It then moved off his finger so that he'd be spotted by orcs. (Luckily for Middle Earth, the Ring appears to have fallen into the water, rather than stay in his...

    Why didn't Gollum become a wraith from the Ring?

    He had the One Ring even longer than the Nazgul men had the Lesser Rings yet didn't become a Wraith. From what I'm reading, Gollum didn't wear it all the time (maybe he came to hate it) and had only had it on when he had lost it to Bilbo because it was ideal to wear the Ring when attacking...

    What Led Frodo to Trust Gollum Despite Everything?

    Good-den! So, at one point in The Two Towers, Gollum reveals smack dab to Frodo that he CAN'T be trusted. Gollum literally ASKS for the Ring! :eek: Right to Frodo's face! :eek::eek: And Frodo kept him and followed him straight into Mordor! :eek::eek::eek: WHY????? :eek::eek::eek::eek: Can...
