Description

They don't look anything like the actors. That's how much I care.

This scribble was spawned from a conversation one of my sis-in-laws and I were having concerning what Peter Jackson did to destroy the Lord of the Rings, which we both read and loved long before the movies happened.

Now don't get us wrong, we both love the movies, but there are changes that really really really irked us. Don't even get me started on Arwen vs. Eowyn! I mean, c'mon, Mr. Jackson! There's a REASON Tolkein banished Arwen to the Indexes: she just wasn't important to the plot! So why focus on her and constantly ignore the woman who totally cleans house which is Eowyn!!!

*Ahem* I said I wasn't going to get started on that...:blush:

So we both agreed that this part was, by far, the WORST part of all 3 movies, and was the stupidest thing Peter Jackson ever did in his whole life. Sam and Frodo are inseperable, and that's just the way it was meant to be. Sam and Frodo pretty much have the strongest friendship in the history of fictional friendships, and that's part of what makes the story so epic! Why the heck do movie directors think we fans want to see the characters we love so much completely changed into ... characters we don't like very much? Frodo would NEVER tell Sam to go home, and he would NEVER trust Gollum! He sympathized with Gollum, yes, but never trusted him.

This is what's uncanny. When I was reading the books, I skimmed the "Aragorn" sections, because all I wanted to read about was "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO SAM AND FRODO?!?!?!" because thier half of the story was so intense and they were so cool about it. And when I watch movie, and I skip all the Sam and Frodo parts so I can watch the "Aragorn" parts. That's how badly Jackson murdered Frodo. Frodo was SO hardcore in the books, and he was a serious wanny-weakling in the movies. :no:

But don't get me wrong, I still like the movies!
