What if Boromir.....

[LordOfMoria]

What do you guys think if Boromir had not died in the trilogy, movies or books. I was watching TTT EE yesterday and i came acroos this in my mind. I figured that he would embrace Aragorn and fight by his side, no matter the peril. What do u people think?

 

[KellGreenleaf]

Yes, he would probably help Aragorn, but in secret, plan a way to take the ring from Frodo.

 

[LordOfMoria]

But how would Boromir try and take the ring if frodo is thousands of miles away from him?

 

[Adrian Atandil]

I am a firm believer that Boromir would never want to see Frodo again so long as he possessed the ring, for he knew of his weakness to it. The man was filled with grief over attempting to take the ring and fought for his redemption, he's not going to risk that again. He would have been a great ally to Aragorn and there's no doubt in my mind he would have served Aragorn without question.

The question I'd like to ask is would he have accepted that Merry and Pippin were safe in Fangorn or gone after them still? And after Helm's Deep would he have ridden with the Rohirrim to Minas Tirith or taken the Paths of the Dead with Aragorn?

And just a little side note of my own, I cry like a ninny every time I see Boromir die on screen, Sean Bean played the man to perfection.

 

[LordOfMoria]

I also believe that the EE for TTT Boost both Boromir's and Faramir's morality. It gives another example that the ring will affect anyone.

 

[Gildor]

He would have followed Aragorn, but his ultimate fate would not likely be much different. Boromir was a very proud and noble man, and I think that his shame at betraying the Fellowship's faith would drive him to his death in order to atone for his failure, much as with what happened defending Merry and Pippin.

I reckon we would give the ring to sauron for power!
MUAHAHAHAHAAHAH!
