Some of his most badass moments (Weathertop, the Ford) are taken away and the character is much less mature, stoical and insightful than he is in the books. There are real issues with how perceptions of Frodo have been shaped by the Jackson movies. Nonetheless, an interesting character without whom the Lord of the Rings wouldn't be as good books they were with him. He's an enigma, not an "as it is" character that everyone is able to relate to easily. I've always believed he's amongst the greatest characters out there. A lot of people blame the movies for ruining Frodo, but he's not even that popular with the book fans. It's like, you have to thrash Frodo to praise your favorites. Upon finishing the books when I went to the internet in hopes to find some interesting theories, articles, blogs etc., etc., on my favourite character, Frodo, I was stunned to see there were more negative comments on him than the content I'd hoped to see.Īragorn, Gandalf, and Sam are the most popular characters in the books, and owing to their popularity, Frodo gets criminally discarded by most of the fandom. Although I love all the characters (Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and Faramir are my most favorite ones from the books), Frodo always was the closest to my heart.

The character that I fell in love with was, obviously, Frodo Baggins. I've been a Tolkien fan for almost a decade now. I've been on Reddit for around 3 weeks, and had been planning on making a post on my favourite character from the Tolkien-verse, and finally got around to doing so. There are other Tolkien-themed subreddits out there! Say hello to our friends in the following places: We're looking at starting a wiki for these common ones. Try searching before posting a new thread: odds are we've already covered some of the "classic" questions ("Who is Tom Bombadil?", "What happened to the Blue Wizards?", "Why couldn't the Eagles just take the Ring?" etc).
