forreal lord andres... I mean, he acts like he's 3 and everyone has to do everything for him!!!!!! Lord, imean, this isn't their journey, it's his,and he dont' even do anything to progress the journey, he would have already been dead if he hadn't had people all around his whimpy butt keeping him alive!
I agree with everything Kit and Aurora said. Frodo was only "wimpy" because he had to carry the ring which was making him weak and unable to fight as much as, say, Sam or Aragorn or whoever. He was definately not as wimpy in the books, though. But, as someone said before, he DID use Sting a few times....not many...but still, a few's better than none, right? It took a lot of energy for him to fight even a few times because of the ring. It's not his fault he's wimpy and can't fight. He can't help it. The end.
He did defend himself actually.
My theory is that if there are others that are there he feels more comfortable and doesn't feel as though his life's in danger.
But in the Shelob's lair, where Gollum is just away somewhere and he sent Sam home and pulls out sting saved his own life. He got stung by Shelob because at that point his head was really lighthead and he could really determine what was going on and bang, next thing you know it, you can't move and you're all limb.
Re: OmG, did you notice it too?

[B]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??? [/B]
ah thank god someone else agrees with me, I have mentioned this a few times, he is also very annoying when he doesnt destroy the ring, if I was Sam I wouldnt of been crying I would have been furious that if the ring wasnt destroyed all of my friends were gonners.....I wonder what sam would have done if Gollum didnt near knock him out.
yeah frodo Baggins big time wimp, I mean what did he do?
apart from walking most the way from the Shire to Mordor, pursued by The Nazgul, near drowned by Old man willow, captured by a Barrow Wight, survived being stabbed with a Morgul Blade (but having a nice deep wound in your chest that never heals & sapping his strength to show for it), having to sit through the council of elrond without dying of boredom, near freezing to death on carahras, chased by wargs, attacked by a giant octopus thing, skewered by a cave troll, watching his old friend and advisor Gandalf killed by a Balrog, getting mugged by Boromir, leaving all his mates (apart from the chubster Samwise) to be attacked by the Uruk Hai, getting lost in emen weil, taming gollum/smeagol, getting through the dead marshes, talking faramir into not killing gollum or taking the ring, climbing the hidden stair, getting attacked/stung by Shelob, escaping Cirith Ungol, walking across most of Mordor to the cracks of doom dressed as a Orc knowing they will never survive the return journey and all that despite a bit of a wobble at the last minute did all this carrying the One ring, a burden which no other person could have carried, a object of pure evil power that consumed his very soul but with was still managed to be destroyed in the finish thus saving the whole world of middle earth, and on returning to his beloved shire finds it vandalised and spoiled by saruman and his cronies, finishes the red book of westmarch and in the end goes to Aman with gandalf and a load of high elves an honour only 2 other Mortals have managed before him.
yeah just scrub him out and make the effeminate pretty boy Elf princeling the hero huh?
poor frodo, one minute he's stumbling back home from the pub, only to find his house has been broken into, then told he has to carry this ring that his powerful wizard friend is afraid to touch, says to keep it hidden because it belongs to Sauron (the fat tony of middle earth), is chased by nine dudes in black robes over spikey armour on black horses with red glowing eyes until he gets to bree where he meets some strange guy who tells him the dudes in black are pretty nasty and pretty much undead, drags him across the country until he gets surrounded by the dudes in blaack who are like three times his size and effortlessly brush his friends aside, they can see him when he's invisible...
i'm suprissed he didn't just have a heart attack!!! but he didn't he dropped his sword and tripped over before he could run and then got stabbed in the shoulder with some poison to boot...
then next time he's in combat situation he gets pinned by a cave troll...
after all that I wouldn't be too keen for a fight either...
