The Inkeeper
Ok, so Frodo and his hobbity companions are nice strong people againt the rings evilness. Agreed? Yes, it is agreed, dont disagree, i made your choice and chose your opinion.
But as strong as they are against the spiritual side of the evil of Sauron, they are absolutely shit at the physical side, IE fighting.
Thats why they have aragorn and co, is it not? well, Aragorn went because of Arwen apparently, but that isnt really addressed too much now is it? No, its not. So we are to believe that aragorn, gimli, legolas, gandalf and boromir were there to save the hobbits from all the crap they (by they i mean pippin) got themselves (by themselves i mean frodo) into.
So, along comes a big battle and some hobbits do some fighting, and in all fairness they can fight when given the chance.
So we currently have
Hobbits- Spiritual resistance-9/10 Fighting skills 5/10
Not bad.
Along comes Aragorn. King because of his bloodline. Isildur was my grandaddys grandaddys grandaddy. ok big deal, he was an ass, he let evil live and took the ring, whooot. Hes to blame for the current situation, why do Gondor want his heir in charge of a quest involving that very ring. Spiritual resistance is low, he has a high point when he denies the ring, but what you gonna do. Then along comes the head-on challenge.
Pippin, has a hold of the palantir for quite a while, tells sauron nothing, unlucky sauron, try again, thats another 25c you owe me, no prize for you this time.
Aragorn tries his luck and catches this big rolling eye palantir (that cant have been pleasant for sauron) and immedietly passes out, what a fool.
so aragorn seems an all round absolute washout. While the hobbits come out being warriors, and all things nice. In-fact in the appendices there is a rhyme about this.
Hobbits are made of sugar and spice and everything nice
while
Aragorn is made of slugs and snails and puppy dog tails
Quite poetic and masterful dont you think?
So how did the great great great great grandson or whatever of the man who ****ed the world, how does the man who spent a year or so chasing gollum, who wears green velvet, who goes out with an elf become king, because of a bloodline instead of one of the four who, save the shire, help bring justice to isengard, go into mordor, fight giant spiders, fight a tower of orcs to save their naked friends, mortalised the witchking, saved faramir.
Why, because there is no democracy in Middle Earth! Sure, you can choose your leader, but they all belong to the same party, communist dictatorship. Especially in Rohan, damn Rohan.
Saruaman and Sauron were the real good guys. If you think about it, they were maia, so they were like gods to their people, so they are always at the top. Thats not dictatoring, thats just divine emplacement, captains and leaders of orcs and orc patrols were decided by the orcs, for the orcs.
UP THE BARUD DUR!
UP DEMOCRACY!
DOWN WITH COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP RULE OVER THE FREE PEOPLE OF MIDDLE EARTH!
Valinor? where the elves go and never come back? Ever seen Babe, where the pigs go to 'paradise' yes, thats right, Valinor is nothing but some form of extermination camp for those seen as a challenge to the rule of these.....dictators
