It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing

Boromir! Give the ring to Frodo!

Frodo’s like, “Boromir, I’m a grown ass hobbit, get your hand off my head.”

u/aaron_adams Dúnedain Jan 01 '23
Try about 20-30 years older. At least in the book, in which he was 51. In the movie, I think he was still in his late 30s.

Boramir was 41 when he died

u/aaron_adams Dúnedain Jan 01 '23
Ah, my mistake. I thought he was in his 20s or 30s.

u/jaspersgroove Jan 01 '23
In the books there are some suggestions that Denethors line does have a hint of the old Numenorean blood, Faramir lived to be 120 I believe. So it would make sense Boramir would look a bit younger than he actually is.

Boromir thought his feelings were in check, but, metaphorically speaking, there was a loose seal.

I wonder if faramir meant that literally. Like 'hey i just found the most dangerous powerful object in the world. better just leave it here for any old orc or evil dude to take it where it will inevitably find its way to sauron!.'

It abandoned Gollum. But something happened then the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Redditor, u/stjimmy96 of the Reddit. For the time will soon come when Redditors will shape the fortunes of all...

Hey Sauron how have you been lately ? Ive been reading up on the Silmarillion and you and Melkor were pretty close it would seem. (according to r/angbang really damn close). I can imagine your mate Melkor being banished to the fringe of existence was certainly not nice. So how have you been holding up ?

Years ago I went to a museum exhibition in Boston about the LOTR Movies and Weta Workshop. At the gift shop, my mom bought me a replica of the one ring on a chain. About a year later, the chain broke and I lost the ring in the woods of New Hampshire somewhere. I always wondered who found it and what their thoughts were about finding “the one ring” in the middle of the woods
