Guest El_Chemso Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I watched LOTR the whole thing as they came out, didn't get it an didn't like it. But we have started watching it again this past week. Just finished watching part 1 and would like some uber geeks to explain a few bits to me. Why does the ring not effect Billbo or Frodo the same as other people? Are elves like the master race? Why has man become so lowly? What was the deal with the white lady in the forest? TIA!

Guest wake Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 What ruined Lord of the Rings for me: At the end, Frodo is rescued from the erupting volcano by eagles. So....why didn't the eagles just carry Frodo and the ring to Mount Doom and drop it in from the top in the first place? So much for fantastical wisdom.

The hobbits aren't supposed to have the same ambitions for power or anything that other races do though. Are elves like the master race? http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Elves Why has man become so lowly? http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Isildur but it is like a metaphor or commentary on how man is the one who is most easily corrupted to evil. Also the nine wraiths were once kings that were seduced by sauron and his bling. What was the deal with the white lady in the forest? http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Galadriel TIA!

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I watched LOTR the whole thing as they came out, didn't get it an didn't like it. But we have started watching it again this past week. Just finished watching part 1 and would like some uber geeks to explain a few bits to me. Why does the ring not effect Billbo or Frodo the same as other people? hobbits are simple country folk and not as greedy. Are elves like the master race? yeah, sort of. Why has man become so lowly? dunno. greed probably. What was the deal with the white lady in the forest? she's the queen of the elves. the scene where she freaks out shows that the ring is so powerful it even affects someome as good-hearted as her. TIA! I have a question of my own: why didn't they dye legolas' eyebrows?
