Always. Also Rorschach is the true hero.
The real hero is the guy who puts down LotR and picks up something worth reading, instead.

Of books worth reading instead
I don't believe you have four (4) friends
There isn't a single other series in it's genre that even comes close to holding a candle to this masterpiece. Kindly frick off.
>inb4 Divine Comedy
It’s not even the best series in fantasy
Name one that's better.
Gormenghast
Something that wouldn't even exist without Tolkien's work. Great example.
2/3 of Gormenghast was already published before the first LOTR book
>Titus Groan (1946), Gormenghast (1950)
>The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)
lol
>The Hobbit, or There and Back Again is a children's fantasy novel by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published in 1937
anon's
point still stand
Have you read it? The Hobbit is a simple children's book where a shorty and his pals kill a dragon. As basic as you can get. It has nothing to do with Gormenghast and shows little of what made LOTR famous (other than hobbits). Point doesn't stand at all.
Absolutely BTFO'ed by
. How will he ever recover from this anal gaping? A gape so great that he can fit a vehicle barrier in his ass with ease.
>Gormenghast
Dull compared with LOTR, especially the 3rd book.
Post your top 5 wisest books right now.
It was obvious the first time I read it.
The Fellowship are all heroes in my book.
Also, when did LOTR artwork get so fricking ugly? I don't remember the artwork back then being so bad.
Yeah the official kinda fricking sucks
>Frodo
>Carries the most cursed object in his universe
>Even literal Demi-Gods are afraid of said object
>He's mostly able to resist the ring's influence
>Ring gets more powerful the closer they get to Volcano where it was forged
>Frodo gets so fricking hurt Sam drags him to Volcano entrance
>Frodo is about to toss thing into lava but the Ring is finally able to overpower him
>Gollum shows up and both struggle for the Ring
>Frodo saves the day by pushing Gollum, Ring and all off the cliff into lava

Frodo isn't written as a particularly sympathetic character. Often he comes across as a whiny homosexual, and sometimes as a condescending prick.
Sam is a character who literally does nothing wrong from start to finish.
see
it was intuitively obvious to me ever since i was young, but i would also not be so quick to mitigate frodo's role as a hero. frodo and sam required eachother in order to fulfill their mission and they would not have made it without eachother. the central Christ-like aspects of the two characters are frodo's sacrifice and sam's humility
If everyone were like Sam, Sauron would've won.
Gollum was the real hero. If he hadn't stood up to Frodo and tried to get the ring away from him, the quest would have failed.
