Hijacked. Like all good BT threads.

 

Member title not handle.

Glaurung's Bane

Correct.

 

Hobbit

 

What does Bilbo Baggins hate?

Chipping the glasses and cracking the plates.  Blunting the knives and bending the forks

Tom Bombadil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silly Ithi Tom Bombadil wasn't in the Hobbit

 

I have good Intel that Bilbo did hate Bombadil. Something about not paying up on a bet.

 

Also something about yellow boots. But I digress.

 

Good answers kronos.

 

LotR:

 

What was the name of the battering ram used to break the main gate of Minas Tirith?

 

Bonus follow up for pointses. What was it named after?

Grond

 

Not sure what it was named after though

Grond is right. Pointses still on the table then.

 

Name one elf in middle earth at the end of the Third Age that had looked upon the two trees in Valinor?

Galadriel :)

Also I didn't deny this - but it wasn't in the Hobbit

Galadriel is correct. Good one Ithi.

 

LOL @Kronos.

 

How are Frodo and Beren similar?

Hm... Beren got his hand bitten off and Gollum bit off Frodo´s finger?

Indeed. Beren one hand and nine fingered Frodo.

 

What was the name of the great hall in Edoras?

I don't know but Imma nominate the rohirrim for best wigs in middle earth and that's saying something.

Meduseld? Or that is something else.

Yes. Where the brats roll on the floor with the dogs. At least according to Saruman.

 

Name 3 big differences between the LotR books and films. Or little is okay too.

No Tom Bombadil

 

In the books, Narsil/Anduril is reforged before the Fellowship's quest.

Tom Bombadil is absent from the movies (Thank the Valar).

In the books, the storm that forces the Fellowship through Moria has nothing to do with Saruman.  That was all Caradhras the Cruel.

 

Also, Sam, Gimli, and Faramir are all much cooler in the books.

No Tom Bombadil

 

 

I'd almost rather take my chances against fell barrow wights than put up with his incessant singing.

Also, for a small difference, in the movies, the Argonath appear to be Elendil and Isuldur (judging by apparent relative age) cuz I guess Anarion isn't important enough to warrant spending like two minutes explaining who he is only for people to forget like 30 seconds later.

no broken sword wielding in the movies

Takes a real badass to brandish a broken sword and name his house Telcontar.

Those are all good. There are gobs of others.

 

 

Someone else wanna ask a question?
