This is not like the "Stupid things you hear in the theater" (which are very hopeless stupidity) thread or something but post here the things that are commonly assumed by some people.
-Eowyn is Theoden's daughter
-Arwen and Eowyn are both princesses (I'd say that technically they might be, but they're never CALLED that. Arwen is Queen Galadriel's granddaughter, and Eowyn is King Theoden's niece, but still...)
-The Two Towers and The Return of the King are sequels to The Fellowship of the Ring
-Elves can't be killed because they're immortal
-A lot of people think that Boromir and/or Faramir were "mean". Faramir is portrayed completely different in the books, and Boromir wasn't a bad person, he was just overtaken by the power of the Ring.
-"Middle Earth" is in the middle of the Earth. I know it represents Europe but c'mon. Middle-earth with Aragorn, Frodo, Sauron and everyone aren't in the center of the Earth.
-Frodo was Bilbo's son
-The Nazgul were killed in FOTR
-Boromir is Aragorn and Aragorn is Boromir
-Eowyn and Faramir's marriage is political and desperate.
-That Celeborn and Galadriel's marriage is loveless.
-Elrond was raised by Gil-galad. Pure fanon, Elrond was raised by Maglor.
- going to the Undying Lands makes a mortal immortal -- not true.
- Elves aren't affected by the cold. *Any* level of cold. (*pats Turgon* Well, I'm afraid Elenwe is rather a footnote in The Silmarillion . . . hey, put that sword down, Turgon, take a deep breath. Silm. Elves live in my head, you see. And they have tempers.)
- Thranduil is evil.
- All Elves ride bareback. In FotR, Glorfindel had a saddle and bridle. I suppose it could be a Noldor/Sindar difference.
What are yours guys?
