Gildor

Ok, so everyone complains about there being no Glorfindel in the movies, and I'm with ya, but what about GILDOR?

Without him, Frodo might have got caught by a Black Rider, and there would BE no story!

Traitor!!!!!

Glorfindel was the one who saved Frodo from dying! Nyah! Heheh back to my nyah routine.

Gildor is pretty cool.

Kit...you told me to stop saying nyah! NYAH NYAH NYAH! 😛

*wants Gildor and Glorfindel*

But I think one of those Woodelves in the FOTR EE that Frodo and Sam have seen in the woods might be Gildor. Not the exact same scene as in the book but it could be a nod. ✅

Well yeah that's what I was believed, but how come they looked more glowy then the caravan of Arwen's?

Yeah..I noticed that too. 😆 Maybe because it was darker when the Woodelves passed and they were farther from Frodo and Sam so we can really see them glow. Arwen etc. were nearer to the camera and it was like in the afternoon so we can't really see them glow. 😄

Just like I always say..... I want more of the begining of the book in the movie!!!!!!!!!!!! More of Merry, more of the hobbits, more of Gildor. Actually we need to add Gildor!!!! I love that part of the book!!!

There are so many characters that need to be added. 😉

I know, many things were changed from the book in the actual movies, there is a thread somewhere about lines that other characters should have said!

I didnt enjoy the beginning of the FOTR for some reason, pretty much because The Shire looks quite boring to me (sorry hobbit fans)

Discos - hides in corner fearing Camellia's pitchfork

I wish that they had added soooo much more of the hobbits.... shown that Merry and Pippen weren't just chance companions they chose to join Frodo. (and were very sneaky about it) More of the Sackful-baggins, more of the party, more of everything!!!!!

no story!

it would have been a BETTER story

what would you choose to read

a story of two small but brave heroes burdened with something they should never have had to do...while thier friends fight and die for them in last struggle battles

OR

sauron lord of the earth retrives his ring....the two hobbits are made evil warlords and the forces of mordor set out to take over the world.....two small hobbits with a big job......the world of men and elves with EVEN MORE desperate battles...and alot more sauron and witchy

😕 Euh....I dunno...but I bow to Tolkien, so the first. 😛

erm, the first one!

ok being serious, the second story would have been a bit of a down-er to most readers/viewers, it would have turned into a much more dark film and we all know a crazy ending would have came from it as we all know evil never wins

well this time it did 😄

how do you know sauron is evil...what IS evil???

and i know you have some comment but sauron was not always evil

Elves are great and all but what about Fatty? And the barrow wright? And TOM BOMBADIL!? It made me so sad that they didn't have the barrow downs or crickhollow or more Bree.

yes, but we cant do anything to change it now. I think they should make super-extended versions with EVERTHING from the books 😛

ok. i know thats impossible, but i can hope cant it 🙂

What character does Tolkien represent?

For me it's either -
Eru
Gandalf
Or Treebeard

i;d have to say one of those 3 too 🙂

Gandalf...or Eru but usually I think of Tolkien as Gandalf
