Fave hobbit?

Frodo was weaker in the movies than in the books. He was not that loyal to Gollum as in the movies. He didn't send Sam away. And he was known as friend of the elves.
Though, I like Frodo :D Pippin is my biggest favorite.
 
yea... thta was like one of the things that pj messed up the most... i was really upset that he did that... he made frodo too blinded...
 
Me? I'd go for Samwise Gamgee....why?

Loyalty, Courage, Stronger resistance than Frodo when he was a ring-bearer for a while. :cool:

Peregrin Took also not bad. An additional humor character to entertain us. I think its because of his Scottish accent. Or was it just Billy Boyd? :D
 
ah, yes, but even the little time that sam had the ring, he was reluctant to give it back, adn was already thinkiing mightly plans ... samwise the great. ect.
 
Better believe the books than the movies

In the movies it looked like Sam was reluctant to give the ring back to Frodo but that one of the changings Peter Jackson made.
As you read in the books, the ring tried to seduce Sam before and not as in the movie at the moment he was ready to give it back to Frodo. So, I rather believe the books than the movies. The ring told Sam he would do more for him if he would keep him and he would be smarter than Frodo and also that Sam would be the greatest gardener in the whole Middle Earth and Sam would have all gardens for himself, but then Sam thought: I don't want to be the greatest gardener and I don't want to have all gardens for myself, I only want my own garden. At that moment, the ring knew Sam was strong. And when Sam gave the ring back to Frodo, he didn't even have time to doubt about giving it back, because Frodo grabed it out of his hand. So, I would say yes, Sam was stronger than Frodo, but who knows what the ring might have done if Sam was standing on the edge of Mount Doom.
 
yeayeayea.... thats what i meant, peterlover... basically... i just am not very good sometimes at finding the right words?... i agree... but i do think that if sam had had the ring for a longer time, he might have lowered his resistance to it... who knows what would have happened if he had had it as long as frodo had... and dont forget... frodo also was stabbed by the morgul blade (doubtless, twas through his own fault of putting on the ring in the first place? what do u think?) and that was definatly against him...
 
I think that Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam alone of all beings ultimately escaped the Ring's power because they all willed to surrender it. Bilbo chose to pass it along, and though he wavered when it came down to it and had to be helped (a couple of ways) by Gandalf, he managed it - as Gandalf himself points out. Frodo willed to take the Ring to Mount Doom, and even though he was terribly weakened and faltered at the last moment, a way was made for him to triumph after all. I also agree that Sam's brief time of holding it, and the noble reason he took it in the first place, and his love for his master, all combined to give the Ring very little hold on him. He surrendered it most easily.

I already thought you meant that ;) And you are right, but this was not meant against you, but towards some parts of the movie. Who knows what might have happened when Sam had the ring from the beginning like Frodo had?

Yeah! That is true and didn't Gandalf say in the books when Frodo was in Rivendell (after he was stabbed by that Morgul Blade): Hobbits were more tougher than he thought? So, I think gandalf did a good thinmg to sent Frodo on his mission to Mordor and to sent Samwise with him.
 
yea, i think thats one o the reasons why he was sent, cause he had showed such a resistance to it already... im reading the lotr again right now, and when i get to that part, if i remember i will make note of it and see what it says...

PEREGRIN TOOK IS THE CUTTEST AND FUNNIEST HOBBIT OF THEM ALL.
But SAMWISE GAMGEE is the bravest hobbit of all. What would have happened when Sam didn't take the ring from Frodo?
As Frodo said: Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam. And that is true.

Pippin is my favourite and he is/was (well the person who played him, Billy Boyd) the sexiest guy in Scotland! Yay!

Anyway, I think Sam was the bravest aswell and that Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam... All hail Pippin & Sam!
 
In the books I loved Sam because of his good and sweet character. The part when he almost wanted to kill himself when he thought Frodo was dead is so heartbreaking. You gotta love Sam. But in the movies it is Pippin. He is so adorable :D
