Martin freeman. He also played someone important in lord of the rings I think. yadda yadda, both are better in print.
Bilbo, his name is Bilbo.
Indeed it is. I thought frodo initially but no. Bilbo. Bilbo is kinda mean in lotr. Ruined by the ring.
Agreed, both are exceptionally better in print, though I posit that LoTR is more palatable to a wider audience in movie-form; the books read like an account of a history of a world (which, as we know, it definitely is and was intended to be a history and not a story) but the movie makes it easier to understand, strains out the songs or adds them in better ways than recounting them over pages and pages ahah
The Silmarillion should be many many films, one or multiple for each chapter. Just Luthien and Beren are a few films, and Turin Turumbar would be like watching a shakespeare tragedy lol!
Feonor did nothing wrong.
Controversial! I have so much to say about this looool
