Why is Frodo Still Alive?

[Aragornrocks]

You know what? Frodo should die! He is a loser who complains the whole way to Mordor and who is usualy sitting on his hairy, sorry BEHIND making Sam do all the work. Now Sam is a different story he is very cool and does not get all corrupt like the hairy-footed freak Frodo is. Vote here for what you think...

[Sindarin]

Heh-heh...Well everyone is allowed their own opinion, yet with a statement like that you're likely to catch a lot of flak from several WarRingers.

Personally, I don't believe Frodo's a freak. And yes, I've read ROTK, so unfortunately I can't vote in your poll.

Oh my sweet Eru cookies, how could you say that about Frodo? :elfeek:

It is true youa re entitled to yoru own opinion, but... perhaps you might want to think this over a bit ... :huh:

Without Frodo Sam wouldn't exist any farther than 1419.... but of course, some thanks always goes to Sam, but that was a tad harsh. Frodo.. no... don't get me started on this. My argument would prove to be 10 pages long if I continue.

All I have to say is that you might not understand the true torment of the ring and what it did. Frodo rarely complained on the journey, and if he had the will, he would have never let Sam do half the things he did for him. He was on the verge of death, if you realize. Surely you can't expect Frodo to be able to be independant when he was near death, bearing a Ring 100% evil, and with a Nazgul wound that troubled him the entire way!

ha... unless you are joking lol roflmao

Frodo has to carry the ring, remember? "Woe on me, it is a burden beyond my strength!" (Okay, I made that up, but that sums up all his whines) Not only is it physically heavy, but also mentally corruptive.

[SPOILER AHEAD!!]
...Although I personally think that it should have been FRODO that fell in with the ring. Would have been funnier that way.

[A! Elbereth]

Funnier? So, you thought it was funny and not tragic? :mmmm:

[Little Devil]

Not funnier, I'm glad that Gollum did, that would have been funny. :evil:

[Tar-Palantir]

Wait a min, if this isn't a joke, how come it's on the Humour thread?

And I couldn't vote on this thread either!

[Aragorn's Latest Lay]

1) Frodo is not a freak - he managed to force himself to take the ring in the first place and was, like all others before him, corrupted by it, even if not until alot later on.

2) I can't vote in the poll either. I think the poll has been strategically worked out so only those who think he is a freak can vote as many of the war-ringers will have read the second book.

3) If Frodo died, who would keep your beloved Sam warm at nights, and who would I fantasize about 24 hours a day???!?!?!?!

4) I can't think of anything else...

5) Oh yeah, and there's nothing 'sorry' about Frodo's behind. Having spent many hours examining it I can confirm that it is pirt, shapely and thoroughly squeezable. Not so much 'sorry' as 'Thank you' if you ask me...

[Ithielnor]

No frodo wasn't a freak. And I don't think it would have been funny if he fell into Mt. doom. I didn't find gollums death 'funny' but tragic.
Yes, I have read all of the books (many times) so I can't vote on the poll either. Perhaps a mod could add another option?

Just wondering if you could give a chapter reference for that as I don't remember any whining. thanks :)

[Saruman]

I think that Sam could have taken the ring; he seems to be the only character who isn't affected by it.

[Frodo's Love]

Frodo is no freak ; and I've read RotK. So I can't vote in here.
(And sorry, but I can't find the "humour" of it. Perhaps someone is able to explain it to me?) ;)

[Ruby Yavevalar]

ok, i can vote on this poll cuz my bro is being a butt and hogging ROTK, and so far, i don't think he's a freak!!! Frodo, not my bro, my brother is a freak!! lol jk. anyways... But I do think that he could do a little more work at homw as in BEFORE he had to take the ring!!! ;) But that's just me, cause I do alot of housework anyways.... ok, i'm gonna shut up b4 i get myself in truble....and i'm hoping that you guys who have read ROTK didn't spoil too much for me!!! verymad grrr... but it's ok!!!
