Merry & Pippin: the opposite of what was expected to happen - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It was nice to see the expanded parts that MerPip (I don't know if they really deserve separate names in the movie) had to play in Rousing the Ents. It was a shame that it came at Treebeard's expense, but them's the breaks. Merry was a little bit more wise in the FOTR, cos he was the one that knew where Bucklebury Ferry was, and cottoned on to the fact that something was going on when great big hooded riders were trying to capture Frodo. He is, truly, the "smart one". And great call, it was good to see that the comedy aspect wasn't entirely lost. But how did Gimli get so funny so fast? Maybe Pippin left his funny in his Elven brooch? Or in his pack at Pinnath Gelin?
