A topic to talk about Return of the King!

[[deleted user]]

For some reason I didn't like it when the Witch King died

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Really? Why was that?

[[deleted user]]

(He was pretty epic:(
well... evilly epic)

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

I find it interesting how sauron never really did anything, yet he is the antagonist

[[deleted user]]

Ya

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

:) did you know that a lot of people think that Sam is the main protagonist?

[[deleted user]]

Wow... That strangely makes sense...
But I believe that it's Frodo.
Even the Simarrilion and the Hobbit are both basically letting you understand Frodo's background, so he is the protagonist.
It still does make sense though...

(Sorry.
I was making tea:)

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Nice :)

Pumpkin and Mandarin with Half & Half cream and some honey.
Mmmm...

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Sounds good :)

[[deleted user]]

Yup.
I made an awesome roleplaying group.
It is called EPIC
(And its an epic group:)
It is the one w/ the pic of the hooded assassin:)

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Cool! I'll have to check that out, once I get the laptop!

You can search it on mobile

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

I think I have an invite from someone... Idk. I should get it in a few mins

[[deleted user]]

Ok
I need to do the dishes:)

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Bye!

[[deleted user]]

(Just tell me when you're back

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Um... I thought you were leaving...

[[deleted user]]

I just had to do the dishes:)
Like one minute, because I started before.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Oh, okay :)

[johanna (jo)]

Love ROTK:D The Scouring was awesome and terrifying. :) The ending was heartbreaking.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

I love LOTR! But if you want a heartbreaking ending... Try eragon. The ending was beautiful in this, but I never loved frodo, so I wasn't that sad to see him go... However it was so sad seeing most of the elves leave forever.. So in the end, I think it was a masterful ending to the brilliance that is The Lord of the rings

[Hakuna]

I love LOTR! It's also one of the only book series where the movies were equally as epic :D

[johanna (jo)]

Equally, no. Pretty good, though :)

[Hakuna]

I though it was equally :P The books and movies were both amazing

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Oh my gosh... I loved the books and the movies. The books were epic. That is all. While the movies might not have been the same kind of epic ness as the books, they were hilarious, the actors were amazing, and they told the story well

[Gameboy the mental Mario]

I love the song that the hobbit sang to the king while that king son was fighting and almost died but was just unconscious

[Brenda]

I hated that they left the Scouring of the Shire out of the movie!

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

IKR!!! It's one of my only complaints about the movies... That and tom bombadil

I'm one of those people. The internal monologue is always Sam's, not Frodo's. After Mount Doom it's Sam that we all see getting woken up by Gandalf. Not Frodo.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Yeah, I completely agree. I... Didn't like frodo much, I'll admit. And you can tell me all you want that he was under the twigs influence, bla bla bla, but Sam was so much more of a hero...

[Jonesmikey]

Does anybody else think it's lame that Gimli saved Pippin. I think he should have died heroically killing that troll.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

I honestly am glad that he survived. I live pippin a lot, and there were a ton of other heroic deaths.

[Jonesmikey]

I don't know. I really like the scene when he dies. He kills the troll, then the troll is collapsing on him and he knows he's dying and he resigns himself to it. Then he hears "The Eagles are coming, the eagles are coming!" Then the chapter's over. Powerful stuff.
But later on he's back. And he's a servant.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Yeah... But honestly, we just had Theoden die... And a ton of others die... I don't want my little pippin to die!

[Jonesmikey]

What's one Hobbit, more or less. Hah! I've been thinking, who am I to say what I don't like about LOTR? I guess that one little thing hasn't stopped me from reading the whole series five times now.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Haha seven, *raises hand guiltily*

*offended*
What did Pippin do to deserve to die? He was a hero. He deserved his happy ending, and he got it. There are plenty of character deaths in LOTR . . . I'm extremely happy that both Merry and Pippin survived.

[Jonesmikey]

I just thought it was a really poignant moment in the book when Pippin died. I'm not saying I cried but it was definitely moving. Then later on I find out that it was rather silly of me to be moved by his death.

[Brenda]

Only 5 times? Only 7 times? Pikers.

And I agree that Sam is the true hero of the piece, even if Frodo gets most of the glory. LOVE the scene where Sam and Frodo are talking about the stories that might be told about their adventure by future generations, near the end of TWO TOWERS.

[mels, This isn't a friendship, it's a spaceship]

Hey! I'm only 14! I'm still workin on it!

[Jonesmikey]

I'm due to pick them up again in a year or two. I really like Sam's inner dialogue about what a great garden he could have.
