Re: 147 OP

[eibborn.livejournal.com]

Hm, I agree that he would probably have held out for longer if Frodo had looked and acted tougher, but to be honest the poor guy really is just some kid from nowhereland who's been thrown into an epic plot and has to deal with terrible evil and basically everyone else being more powerful and capable than he is. I find it hard to fault him for being afraid.

I'm not sure that that's strictly true- it did happen, but it's not necessarily the rule. If Isildur had kept the ring a secret and stayed in his city, I don't think that he would necessarily have died prematurely. That's a bit off-topic, though. It's been a really long time since I shared theories about LotR, so forgive my rambling!

...It sounds as though you're just dealing with people who only see the outside appearance of things without putting more thought into it. Did they not read the books or see the extended edition, maybe? In the original release, a lot of Boromir's development was cut- enough, I think, that you could easily miss out on the side of him that is more than just, 'Grar I'm evil need power.'

Maybe I should just stop watching/discussing LotR with my friends, it might save me a lot of headaches.

They're basically under the impression that if Faramir and Aragorn could resist the ring, that Boromir must have been essentially evil for the ring to have such a hold over him. Bah.

And I'll give you the Frodo point. I guess he just didn't seem so... pathetic in the book as he does in the movie, but that's more of a portrayal than the actual character.

Oh, please, ramble away. As I've stated, my friends are idiots, and it seems like only online (and with my dad) can I have an intellectual conversation about LotR.
