heroes

I'm currently writing an essay for school and I just need a couple more opinions on this topic...

SInce it's from EA, I'm sure it'll be full of in-game purchases and probably not that good but here's the gameplay.

gollum is the great hero of the works of tolkien because if it was not for him the entire world would have enslaved by sauron. does anyone else agree? no swearing or name calling please

People who watch the PJ LOTR trilogy often remark that Sam is more of a hero than Frodo. I don't think this is entirely due to PJ but rather modern values. For instance Frodo declaring "the Ring is mine" does not fit in with people exposed to superhero comics, James Bond films etc. This is Le...

Hello folks! I'm new to this forum, and to Tolkien in general. I read the three LOTR books and watched Peter Jackson's films this year. Needless to say, I have become a quick fan. While reading ROTK, I was stunned and dissapointed when I read the bit about Gollum ultimately causing the Ring...

From high kings and ruling queens to stewards, lords, chieftains, princes and princesses, most of the important figures in Tolkien's legendarium seems to have some sort of connection with royalty/nobility through lineage. So, let's make a list of complete commoners who achieved great things...

For a long time, I (and many others) believed that Gollum was the hero of LotR, because he destroyed the Ring. I've always been of the impression that some inner part of Smeagol that was still good and true fought over the evil for just a moment long enough to cast himself into the fire and end...

I have been thinking after the true villan and true hero of lord of lord of the rings, who is the true hero of the Sil. This is alot more complicated as it covers a longer period of history but here it goes.

The reason that this is the Forsaken Inn, is that threads like this tend to end up as "what's your favorite song by them?" in stuff and bother. I planned to make this as a discussion thread that may or may not open up new views for those people who have never heard of bands like Sonata Arctica...

Is anyone else creeped out by the way he died?

In "The Lost Road": Who are these heroes? Can real history parallel be found to them? And why are they called "corn and culture" ??? Please, help to understand! :rolleyes:

One of the things I loved about this film was the way that Samwise was held up as the hero. And rightly so. Two years ago I wasnt sure of Sean Astin's ability to play the role. But he made Sam grow, the way he did in the book. He brought to part the depth that was always there, but he let it...

Today's my first time on this forum since the release of FOTR about 2 years ago...what a surprise I got. Last time I was here, most people were praising PJ for what a magnificent job he’s done bringing an epic story to the big screen. Nowadays, most of you seemed to be crucifying PJ. What a 360...

Well, I just wanted to know if anyone while reading the book had a slightest idea that Gollum would save the world :D And if you had, what made you think that?

Well lets look at this, they only cam one at a time, i.e. Húrin on his own Beren on his own, Feanor on his own Fingolfin on his own e.t.c they were never together, but the question is, would if they were around at the final war of the ring have made a difference? from all acounts save Beren...

Who do you think, in the ways of the film, should be portrayed as the ultimate hero? There are so many heros in the film and the books that it would be hard to say, but I want to know everyone's opinion. - Ariana

I just want to know if you think that the movie will have Gollum destroying the Ring when Frodo can't or that Frodo will be all hero like and waltz into Mordor and drop the Ring into the Cracks of Doom without a care in the world. obviously I think Frodo shouldn't be heroish, JRRT had a reason...

I was just wondering who everyones favorite character was of the one's that didn't get much attention and/or credit to anything in the story, and please give a reason for why you choose the character. Mine, I think you can guess, is Glorfindel. He saves Frodo and helps the rest of them reach...

Feanor - Creates Silmarils, greatest craftsmen, vows to destroy Melkor, first one to name him Morgoth, slain by Gothmog... Fingolfin - After Feanor's death, is named High King of Noldor (even though he's half Vanyar), the only Elf to ever fight Morgoth himself and wound him, but is crushed in...
