From left to right : 1. Bilbo Baggins having one last craving for the ring when reunited with Frodo in Rivendell before the Fellowship takes off on its quest; 2. A lost soul in the Dead Marshes, a swampland Frodo and Sam need to go through on their way to Mordor; 3. Galadriel being offered the ring by Frodo in Lórien; 4. Grima Wormtongue, who poisons the mind of the King of Rohan on behalf of Saruman, but I can’t recall this scene in particular (and could also be mistaken).
These don’t have anything on the late 70’s The Hobbit cartoon. The trolls, goblins, spiders, Gollum, and the elves we frightening. My brother always made me watch it. I’m almost 40 and I still don’t like it.
Gimli: "Ah man, Moria is gonna be fucking lit! Balin always throws the wildest parties! And you know those gigantic furnaces we use for our fine craftmanship, you can smoke an entire Olliphant in them as well."
Correct. Which gets me thinking, what are the masculine and feminine terms for elves and dwarves? Elf man and elf woman, dwarf man and dwarf woman, sounds clunky…
“Man” is gender neutral in this sense, encapsulating the full species, so “woman” should probably be prefixed with “human”… Or man man and man woman.
I don’t really like the terms “man” and “woman” for elves and dwarves anyways. How about elf “maiden” and dwarf “so similar in voice and appearance you can’t tell the difference”
Yes, I’m aware of that usage of the term “Man”, the meme just got me wondering.
Perhaps there’s a case to be made for elves and dwarves not even having a concept of gender - as you alluded to, dwarves don’t differentiate physically, so they likely don’t even acknowledge it at all. A dwarf is just a dwarf.
Elves, too, are highly androgynous, so it may be a similar thing with them. Sex is definitely a thing, though, since they reproduce just like humans do. But they certainly don’t seem to have a social gender division.
If you want go old school, you can say wereman and woman. English used to do this but the were- prefix fell out of use aside from werewolves and their werecousins
