OmG, did you notice it too?

Ok, I have been watching all the LOTR movies, and I have noticed that Frodo never does ANYTHING. He is such a whimp. In all the movies, except ROTK, he drops his sword,and cowers in a corner when ever anything bad is happening. It's kinda like, omg save me, i have the ring,i can't do anything. He doesn't fight at all in the moveis *except ROTK* because he drops the sword, or falls , or something to get him out of fighting. In ROTK i was so proud of him thought, he didn't drop the sword at first, he actually cut something,he hurt Shelob, just a lil ,but that is a big improvement, what do you guys think???

This is no coincidence. In the film its not really shown very well, but Tolkien describes him as rather silent. He doesnt kill a single person and is quite a peaceful person. Also when they return to the shire and fight hobbits against ruffians, he doesnt do anything, at least in the sense of not killing anybody.
I do not think he's a whimp, if there would be only persons like Aragorn or Gimli, the world would be a single neverending war and war is something nasssssty (except when its in middle-earth).

Thus - peace!! 😛

Well you have to understand he's bearing this heavy ring that everyone's after and everyone's trying kill him to get it. He's tread basically all across Middle-Earth to destroy it oblivious at what it's doing to him and it makes him more weary and light headed.

Now for the event at Weathertop, if I were in Frodo's place and I suddenly is faced with these 5 Ringwraiths (they're so awesome aren't they?) I wouldn't really try to fight because it's useless. And when they squeal, people feel fear.

That's why in the RotK movie Gandalf says something along the lines of, "Don't give into fear." to the Gondorian soldiers when the Nazguls came.

He is strong in some ways instead of fighting, he's going out there beyond the Shire trying to get rid of this ring that could harm all of Middle-Earth and he get's it done. The effects on him are major which I love the dialogue at the end where Frodo says, "How do you pick up the threads of an old life..."

Okie, end of rant.

I still think he should defend his self, he would be dead if there wasn't like 6 other people around him at all times,becuase he don't do anything~!

Well, that is what friends are for ffs. And legolas is gay 🙂 Just thought I would add that - actually, Legolas is cool - Orlando is gay!

Okie now THAT'S mature....Okie I'm not a big fan of Orli's but atleast I don't call him gay which he isn't.

Back to Topic -

Well Frodo's used to the quiet and peacefulness of the Shire and all of sudden he's sent off to this mission to destroy the ring and he's seen all this war and death and he's a small dude seeing all of this, I really sympathize him. I think he showed alot of courage with all that is weighed on his shoulders.

you have to remember, he is being possessed by the Ring, ofcourse he doesnt fight, but he reaally doesnt have to fight much in the movies

Im sorry,but the ring should if not anything,make him mean, and that would evoke fighting, im sorry,but i still think he's whimpy, becuase come on, fight for your life, not make others do it for you.....

what makes you think orlando is gay? he's dating a woman for crying out loud.

why do you think gollum went crazy? he had the Ring, and it made him everything about him mean, and sly.

He's part of the SHIRE folk, people has don't oftenly wander out to the world and don't know what's out there, and Gandalf has only talked about the positive. I can understand that he doesn't react very fast.

Well in the books he stabbed the Troll's toe....that should count as something.

farimir, sam, frodo and so one were the few people who withstood the ring (maybe not people in the movie, but you know what i mean 😉

i hv 2 agree, he is kinda wimpy. And like ppl say, shire folk r kinda peaceful, but sam beats the crap out of a load of orcs n a big big BIGspider for his friends life, the shire (and his old gaffer....but erm, movin on) why doesnt frodo get off his bum n fight 4 those things? ur right, he just cowers in a corner and lets ppl do evrythin...

Doesn't Elijah Wood portray a wimpy character in all his movies?

This is hilarious. I don't think a single one of you have a sense of humour - except Sauron 😄

i know what u mean ... elijah wood ... seems wimpy .... i think when bilbo says in FOTR that he would take him .. but inhis heart he thinks frodo is still in love with the shire ... frodo only left cuz he had to .. u know ??

he sertently isint a fighte, thats for sure, and ya I think he kinda helpless, it's always, Oh Sam this and that, and then he loses his sword, on weatertop, he was such a pussy when the Nazgúl came, droped his sword in a moment, that could as well have been his last secounds, fool of a baggins

Well YOUR humor is nonsense and offending.

Actually Frodo drew his sword and did some fighting in the Mines Of Moria... and don't forget him and Sam beating up Gollum when they first meet him... and don't forget him beating up Gollum after he first gets out of Shelob's Lair.
