Gimli, Son of Gloin. Fact or Fiction?

💃 Does anyone really know if Gimli exists? Is he just a fictional character or is there more to this fabled character than meets the eye? If anyone knows anything more of the enigma that is Gimli, Son of Gloin, could you please reply.

Spoiler:
Aragorn is Frodo's biological father!

Is he just a fictional character or is there more to this fabled character than meets the eye?

I say that there is less to Gimli than meets the eye.

As for your spoiler, have you any means to support this claim?

Spoiler:
We all know that Sam is his father and love interest

niether of those spoilers are true

dude what the crap are you talking about? If you want to rip on LOTR thats fine, but dont play it off as some serious discussion.

more idiots.... hmmm

what the heck r u smoking?

Err... Dr. Cool you're full of rubbish.
Good picture though...

I agree with Sirius on both counts 🙂

They actually raise a good question though...

LotR is myth, like all of Tolkein's writings...myth of course stems from a poor source of analytical history, some fact, mostly fiction.

So did tolkein purposely write things skewed?

As in...Gimli never really was there, but was only added later on by who ever is telling the story?

Kinda like Beowulf...where some of the characters most likely did not ever exist...or better yet, Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh was real that's for sure, but many other characters were never real...

Anyways...more likely or not this is a bungle-headed idea 🙂
