Annoying Amateurs

Gah! so is the power of the enemy. He turns bretheren to enemies. LOTR rocks tolkien rules!

He turns bretheren to enemies.

But an ignorant person who not only poses as a know-it-all but refuses to take corrections or learn more would definitely not be my friend. Or any brethren that I would admit to having.

I hear people call Arwen a princess over a million times. Still ticks me off every time.

A newspaper column here called Sauron a wizard. Possibilities: the writer read UT, and concluded erroneously; or just made a WAG.

Come to think of it, there are annoying amateurs here.

I've seen worse, somewhere, Elrond was called king of elves and Galadriel queen, and they both live in Rivendale(i know its suppose to be Rivendell) and they live with ents...

The elves of the Third age didn't have many monarchs, did they? Especially the remaining that were ruled by the Noldor or their decendants. Doesn't matter though.

I think the Arwen as a Princess stemed from the terms used to describe her character when people were reviewing the movies, and in some cases, the books. "Warrior Princess" was a term used in a lot of the articles I read. I don't know if the reviewers meant it that she was a Princess, but her movie character would have resembled one. Think Xena. Hahahah, funny mental picture.

Who summoned the floods of Bruinen drowning the nazgul horses?

Good discovery question. Anyone who has read the books wouldn't say Arwen.

My opinion on such people who take hold of Movie information as Canon to the entire story (Canon meaning that it's true), they should either read the books, or shut their mouths when a downer is talking.

Last note: Everyone is an amature, right? It's what makes them annoying that gets on everybody's nerves. You wouldn't be bashing someone who doesn't know a thing, but is inquizitive and humble to the fact that they don't. That's what I started out as anyway.

Here's a good one I've heard from my own friends, but they're trying. As long as people try, I'm happy.

*Note, I'm scared of spiders, and yet Shelob didn't bother me until the movie. I looked like this guy...

"I can see why you're so scared of spiders. Reading the third book must have been hard for you."

Me: "Actually, she wasn't in the third book. She was in the Two Towers, but Jackson put her in the third movie for some odd reason."

"Oh. Well what part of the movie was like the book?"

Me thinking.."An opening, at last!"

Me saying: "That would take awhile. I can lend ya my books if you want so you can find out!"

I like the ones who actually try to understand the difference and want to know about the books. But those 15% who feel they know everything because of the movies... I look like that guy after 5 minutes with them!

Shelob was in 3rd movie because, when frodo and sam were climbing up, thats when the witch-king began his attack in minas tirith, and that didn't begin till the third book, so they did that not to confuse the viewers
