    The Hobbits: hobbit-hole
 if i had to get in a fistfight with any member of the fellowship it would be Frodo
 because i would easily win
 hobbit-hole
 all i am saying is that he would ostensibly be the easiest one to take on in a fight
 given that he's like three feet tall and has led a life of (physical) leisure
 compared to all of the others due to his standing as a gentlehobbit
 legolas, aragorn, and gimli are all used to combat, sam works as a gardener
 merry and pippin often gallivant off and get into mischief so they have the
 advantage of experience in whatever it is they've gotten up to/would possibly
 fight dirty, gandalf is gandalf so while weapons are out of the question i suppose
 that depends on if magic is involved. i don't think i could take him without magic
 even if he is old because he's a very large guy, but maybe
 it would be my knuckles against Frodo's baby soft poet hands, plus rve got the
 additional height and fighting experience. i just think that he would be the easiest
 to win against in hand-to-hand combat out of the rest of them. also he isn't real
 so he can't offer a rebuttal to my claim
 penny-anna
 you're absolutely correct BUT wanting to fight Frodo makes you a monster D
 hobbit-hole
 this has nothing to do with WANTING to fight Frodo, i just think he would be
 easiest for me to beat in a fight with no weapons. unless he utilized his very
 large feet, but i think he's too polite to do that because it's a fist fight and that
 would be considered playing dirty
 penny anna
 for someone who doesn't want to fight Frodo you sure have put a lot of thought
 into fighting Frodo.
 animate-mush
 OP is wrong though: you fight Pippin.
 First off, Pippin has it coming, so you won't be fighting your conscience at the
 same time
 Secondly, Pippin is a spoiled rich kid. He's no less gentry than Frodo is, but
 Frodo works out and is shown to have better stamina, at least at the outset.
 Pippin is also both the stupidest and the slowest of the hobbits. They both nearly
 beat one (1) troll, so that's comparable, but Pippin appears not to have got a
 single hit in against the orcs that captured them while Merry was cutting off
 hands like a boss. Pippin also straight-up tell Bergil that he's not a fighter
 Also there's a nonzero chance that Frodo will just straight up curse you (if the
 guilt of fighting Frodo isn't enough if a curse by itself)
 And, of course, if you try to fight Frodo, you will 100% end up fighting Sam, and
 he will wreck you (and you'll deserve it, you
 penny-anna
 Also: if you fight Frodo you'll have a very angry Sam & possibly also the entire
 Fellowship to deal with BUT if you fight Pippin they will probably cheer you on
 ainurs
 Bold of you to assume one could attempt to fight Pippin and NOT instantly be
 killed by Boromir
 feynites
 So here's the thing - you absolutely DO NOT want to try and fight Frodo or
 Pippin because they are going to be protected by the rest of the Fellowship
 which basically exists to stop asshole Big People from picking on the hobbits.
 Folk might talk a big game but when the chips are down, you are not going to lay
 a single hand on any of the hobbits. Either you'll find yourself immediately
 fighting all four of them or else you'll move to land your first hit and suddenly
 Aragorn will side-tackle you into the trees. And he probably hits like a freight
 train tbh.
 So here's what you do
 You fight Legolas.
 The thing about fist-fighting Legolas of course is that you will lose. This is not a
 fight you're gonna win no matter what. But Legolas has his standing competition
 with Gimili, so once the challenge is issued, he's not gonna let anyone else step
 in and fight you either. No one is liable to volunteer on his behalf, either, so you
 will only end up fighting the one member of the fellowship. If you are lucky he
 might also take his shirt off. Bonus!
 Anyway
 Legolas will mop the floor with you, but he's also already convinced you're
 weaker than him anyway because you're not an elf, so he's gonna go kind of
 easy on you And when you lose he will be all snide and superior about it, which
 means everyone in the fellowship is gonna sympathize with you, and Gimli will
 probably challenge him on your behalf afterwards, but here's the key thing
 You will have lost a fist-fight to an immortal warrior prince
 That's a way better loss to cop to than that time you tried to fistfight a pudgy
 gentlehobbit and got beaten to the point of unconsciousness by his gardener
 yeah?

    The Hobbits: neuxue
 Okay I know we always go on about Marvel's uncanny casting ability
 But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this
 man
 Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn
 Earth
 would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in
 costume, for the sake of authenticity
 was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for
 LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained
 occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)
 . does all his own stunts
 lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages
 you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he's fighting the Uruk-
 hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword?
 Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it
 directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away
 They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn
 obtrta
 Can I just add a few things?
 Would randomly give chocolates to the hobbits
 According to John Rhys-Davis (aka Gimli), whenever you have a large
 cast, one or two actors will naturally become the leaders. Guess who
 ended up in that role
 Single-handedly convinced cast and crew to camp out to shoot a scene in
 the sunrise
 Once hit a wild rabbit with his car by accident. Promptly stopped his car
 and went to see if the rabbit was dead, needed a vet or if the only merciful
 thing to do was to finish killing him. The rabbit was dead. Viggo realized
 he was hungry. So he took the rabbit, made a fire by the roadside and ate
 it.
 According to cast and crew, sometimes you'd just see him disappear in
 the middle of the night and suddenly he'd come back with fish he'd caught
 Had his sword with him at all times. Slept with once
 . The best horse rider of the cast, hands down. Rides better than lots of
 pros, according to a horse trainer. Couldn't bear to part with his horse at
 the end of the shooting, so he bough him. The next movie of his also
 involved horses, and he bought his horse in that one, too
 Knows how to survive in the wild. I'm not kidding
 Hand-stitched a few things in his costume for an authentic "l live away
 from civilization" Ranger feel. Also told the weapons department to make
 him a small bow because "Aragorn lives in the wild, he needs a hunting
 bow, or he'll starve to death- literally nobody else had thought about that
 Also requested a small stone to sharpen his sword. Suggested that
 Aragorn would take Boromir's arm guards after his death.
 Speaking of hand-stitching, once he was touring Japan with a
 reporter for an article. Walked into a store, took a tshirt, bought it,
 cut off the print and hand-stitched it into the hat he was wearing. The
 reporter was going "?????????" the entire time
 o
 Peter Jackson literally sometimes called him Aragorn by accident
 mybrainrots
 Reblogging to add that Viggo wasn't their first choice. They were already into
 filming when they realized whoever they had cast was not the right choice. How
 lucky did they get that Viggo was available on no notice?
 spectralarchers
 The original actor they cast as Aragorn was Stuart Townsend, and a day before
 shooting began, they realized he was too young for the role
 When Peter Jackson called up Viggo Mortensen to ask, Viggo didn't answer at
 first and said he'd call the next day to give his answer. When he asked his son
 Henry about it, Henry told him to take the job as Henry was a big fan of the
 series
 Henry went on to cameo as an orc in the Pelenor battle

 I didn't think I could love this man anymore, but here I go
He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.
