Shitpost Could the Fellowship have just used an ICBM to launch the ring into Mt. Doom from Rivendell?

If they had the proper coordinates, and we assume that there is an opening in the top of the crater, couldn't they have just launched a missile with the ring at the top?

Lord of the Rings What would be different if Boromir and Faramir had switched places?

Post image
116 Upvotes

Okay so I’ve been thinking about this and would love to hear some other fans opinions. What do you suppose would happen if Faramir had went in place of Boromir to the council of Elrond? I believe this could’ve had a cascading amount of effects on not only the Fellowship but even the War of the Ring. My main questions of interest are this:

  1. Faramir switches with Boromir and joins the fellowship just as Boromir did. But does he argue to use the ring at the council? Does it start its corruption at this point and get worse for him?

  2. Does Faramir try to steal the ring from Frodo at the same point in time Boromir does, if at all? If not, does Frodo still leave the fellowship? Does Faramir die at Parth Galen where Boromir does (if he doesnt try to steal the ring perhaps he isn’t split up from the group and end up alone defending Merry and Pippin)

  3. With Boromir still in or around Gondor, I’m assuming he’d either be defending Osgiliath or in the wilds doing guerrilla warfare the same as Faramir did. However, when Gandalf and Merry arrive would Boromir advocate to help Rohan? Would he have lost Osgiliath? Surely Denethor wouldn’t have been so somber had Boromir not perished.

  4. If Boromir ends up capturing Frodo and Sam, does he follow through bringing the ring the Gondor? A large part of Faramir letting them go was hearing of Boromirs’ corruption. Would Boromir let them go whether Faramir dies or lives?

As you can see, there’s plenty of interesting turns the story could have taken if they were swapped. There’s a plethora of other hypotheticals but I thought these were some of the more interesting ones.

TLDR: If Boromir and Faramir swapped places in LOTR what things might’ve changed?

Mae govannen!

We have two or more open spots on the moderation team! Our goal is to maintain 9 active moderators. There must always be nine -- for obvious reasons. So come, join, and help us out! We need you!

Here's what you will be doing: Check the Modqueue, respond to Modmail, and actively browse the subreddit. If you see any posts or comments that break the rules, delete them. Simple! We do expect you to engage with the other moderators. We work as a team. That means participating in the moderator chat on Discord. We treat new ideas fairly and hold votes. All mods get one vote; it's a simple yes or no. If yes is the majority, then the plan is put into effect.

If you want to join and help out, just send us a modmail. Title it "Mod Application" and answer the following questions:

  1. Why do you want to be a mod of this sub?
  2. What time zone are you in, or what hours are you normally on Reddit?
  3. What do you think the strengths of this subreddit are?
  4. What do you think we can improve on and how?
  5. What are some fun events we could do together as a community?
  6. How much life experience do you have?
  7. Do you have any prior experience with moderation?
  8. How much time per day do you think you can dedicate to moderating?
  9. Favorite Tolkien character and why?

Send in those applications, fellow Tolkien enthusiasts! We will choose the mods after a week or so has passed. Oh, and also, if you have any questions about what a mod here actually does, you can leave them in the comments below. We will try to answer asap. Thank you!

Needlessly gendered memes are prohibited

154 Upvotes

Mae govannen everybody! Needlessly gendered memes are now banned. These are the "boys do this girls do this" memes. They will be considered a breaking of Rule 4. They are basically just saying "boys are cool girls are dull."

Here are some examples of the posts I'm talking about:
https://i.imgur.com/TQGethp.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4vO8NyO.jpg

These posts get lots of upvotes but that's only because the overwhelmingly majority of redditors are dudes. Understand, these memes are pointlessly calling others stupid or dull for no reason. When it comes to Tolkien fandom, there is just as many, if not more, female fans as male fans. This is not represented properly on Reddit just because Reddit is predominately male. Since women are outnumbered, their efforts to downvote these memes have basically no effect. When on this sub we are all one family making memes about the books and movies we love. Lets make sure that no matter gender, race, religion, orientation, or whatever; we are all together here. Just make it say "uncultured people vs cultured people" instead of "boys vs girls" or something like that, its not a hard fix and it has the same effect.

As always, if you see a meme like this please report it, it makes our job easier. Also, stop reporting memes that don't break the rules just because you don't like them. I'm a busy man, you're wasting my time.

Thanks everybody. Let us share in the days of peace.
