Lord of The Rings

You said it IBG

Wow, we all like Gondor over Rohan, that is different. Probably because we read the books lol. And before, I never said I liked Rohan better, I said I'd probably fit in better with them, if you go by pure hair color. And PJ totally burned Gondor in the movies, check out this list:

he makes Faramir almost sieze the ring

he makes Boromir look like a so-so fighter in Moria

he makes Denethor a nut

he makes Denethor refuse to light the beacons, but then Denethor is upset when Rohan doesn't come to help in time

he makes the individual soldier of Gondor appear as weaker than an orc, in both Minas Tirith and Osgiliath

like IBG said, he makes the gondorian trebuchets have no ammunition, other than their own city

and get this: in ROTK, we see Denethor walk from the citidel to his "pyre", which is around a few hundred yards. And then, after Denethor completely catches on fire, he is able to run all that distance back, and then run down that giant dividing platform, which easily doubles the distance, then jump to his death. All this with that great big coat on -on fire of course- and that heavy chain mail. Was Denethor a marathon runner, or did I miss something?

Heh, I think he must have been.

how else could of gotten there. maybe he was practicing running just for that part of the movie.

Or maybe he was on drugs or something.

Steroids.

I really like using Nazgul in the game Battle for middle earth II. they are a lot stronger in the movies though.

I've never played Battle for Middle rath two or one are they god?

Heck yeah they are, that's how Stuart an I settle our quarrels.

Cool.

I think i'll play it right now mauhahahahahahhaahhahhahahahahahh.


Personally I think Aragorn could have beat Saurons but down if he had the ring. He would have wielt it you know.

No I didn't know.

Numorian inner strength, Aragorn could have wielt the ring, if he so desired, but he feared it to greatly to do so.

He could have weilded it, but Tolkien himself wrote that NOBODY in middle earth (1 on 1) could defeat Sauron, for no one had equal natural powers (there were far greater evil powers, but that's another story). It takes inner power to weild the ring. According to Tolkien, if a person of more natural power than Sauron had weilded the ring, he/she could have turned the ring's alliegance from its maker to him/herself. Such a turn of the ring's alliegance would have been as crushing a blow to Sauron as though the ring was destroyed. And according to Tolkien, no person in middle earth had such natural power to control the ring and defeat Sauron, therefore, we must assume that Sauron vs. Aragorn, or anyone else among the free peoples as well, Sauron would win, even without the ring.

what about Tom Bombadil, he had the power to use the ring but he chose not to. But if he were to use the ring I think he could have a fighting chance, but he chose to stay out of all the ring bessiness.

Well actually he didnt have the power to control it, it was just that the ring had no power over him.

True but he realy dosn't show all his power though.

DId he want to though?

no he didn't, he says so in the book, he just wants to be left alone.

yep. that's right.

see, even oppie agrees.

Gandalf says he wouldn't even know what to do with it. He'd probably just lay it down and forget it. And, as for the ring, The Ring would have curropted Aragorn. He wasn't so perfect that he couldn't be curropted, because, news flash people, he was a little power hungry. Everyone is.

ya but he's not as corrupt as some to take the ring for himself so he had some self control.

He didn't take the ring no. But, if he did take the ring, his selflessness would have been curropted until he was a Dark Lord. That's why Gladrial refused to take it, and Even Gandalf.

yep, thats cause thats what the ring was made for, to have power over evrything almost.
