@@dlxmarksBoromir’s apparent traits were more on the physical, bravery side and his spiritual and knowledge traits seemed under developed compared to his brother Faramir in whom all these traits were present along with the humility of personality that Boromir lacked until the end when he redeemed himself fighting to the end to protect the hobbits. Usually elves were not merely physically dominant but also knowledgeable and artistic as well as spiritual. This set them apart from humans who resemble elves physically. Ironically, their father’s unequal treatment of them probably led to this development in which Boromir was over confident and didn’t develop his elvish side which could have helped him resist the ring and Faramir was looked down upon for his elvish traits and reprimanded by his dad which taught him humility and patience. It seemed that Denethor blamed Faramir for weakening his wive Finduilas in birth and afterward due to pain at her passing cannot abide by being reminded of elven traits. He really failed his sons and his stewardship due to negligence because he was overwhelmed by his emotions. I really could not stand him at all.

@LagunaShirogane 8 ай бұрын

The issue may have been because he could have deviated the spotlight off Aragorn. And knowing Hollywood, they may have made Imrahil a bitter reluctant supporter of Aragorn's claim as King due to Imrahil's own claims to the throne despite Aragorn having a greater claim to it. Its the equivalent to say...if a descendant of the Plantageant Kings of England emerged in today's society to challenge the Sussexes for the throne. Aragorn would have been the equivalent to a Plantageant heir and Imrahil being the equivalent to a Sussex. Always the older dynasty would have a better claim to the throne but alot of times if not most of the time...the older dynastic descendant wont chase his claim to the throne for the sake of himself and the people...and recognizing that his family's claim to the throne is long passed and that its better to serve the current line of Kings than to oppose it.

@imaginemyshock8067 8 ай бұрын

"and few indeed had dared to abide them or look on their faces in the hour of their wrath." This is an example of how Tolkien saw some men differently to how many today see them, even in the movies. These were men of high noble character, not merely good men. Our heroes today have flawed characters when you get to know them and can be disappointing. These men didn't just appear noble; they were noble through and through, and Tolkien had that characteristic shine forth when there was a need. This was one of the disappointments I have with Jackson's Aragorn, who didn't want to be king and shirked his responsibilities as the heir of Isildur until he found his way. The Aragorn of the book was always embracing his responsibilities, even before he was told about his lineage.

@LAZERAK47V2 7 ай бұрын

Yep. Every hero these days has to be flawed or troubled in some way or another to make them more relatable to the average person. But the heroes in Tolkien's day were meant to be paragons. Those who never stopped pursuing goodness and justice and didn't settle for "good enough". They were meant to embody the very best of humanity, an example for us to strive for. Our society, for all its advancements and achievements, is greatly diminished without these ideals to strive for.

@Maclean22 8 ай бұрын

I love how even though the battle rages on he takes time to grieve the death of Theoden and perhaps even extends the survival of Eowyn, then proceeds to be victorious in battle and shows his loyalty to the true king of Gondor.

I do feel like the words "Your son has returned, Lord, after great deeds" were truly meant to chastise Denethor for sending Faramir on such a mission in the fist place, and for not acknowledging how much Faramir had already done. Imrahil is such a fantastic character, and I do wish that more media would portray him! LotRO does a decent job, I feel, but it would have been incredible to see him in the films!

@@madalinfilip6352 Tis probably why Tolkien never cared about the potential movie/television rights. If I recall, he more or less stated it'd be impossible to really do fully. He's definitely right. There are so many speaking parts. They are already gargantuanly long movies. Telling the story the way the books have it adds easily 30 or more to the length of the movies. That's kind of insane to think about. The Lord of the Rings is a very clear example of why written media (comics, books) are still very important in an age of increasing audio/visual dominance. There's just more room for creativity on paper there is in the visual space for certain and maybe in the audio as well because the budgets for them are far more sane.

Someone nearly equal to their leader in virtue and power and prowess, but is willingly subordinate to the leader because of their insight and loyalty.

I have a question last week you talked about how the 7 and the 9 were made for the same purpose of corrupting elves and Sauron's plan B was to give them to the Men and Dwarves. So why did Sauron not use the rings he recovered from the dwarves to make more Nazgul since they would have the same impact on men that they did in the second age.

@unclepalp7048 8 ай бұрын

When it comes to the Rings recovered from the Dwarves, they were not suited for creating Nazgul (Ringwraiths) as the Nine Rings given to Men were. The Nine Rings had a more direct and profound effect on Men, easily turning them into wraiths under Sauron's control, while the Seven Rings given to the Dwarves enhanced their natural greed and ambition. The Dwarves were more resistant to Sauron's influence, which is why they were able to resist complete domination and eventually lose their Rings to dragons and other means. In summary, Sauron's primary goal was to corrupt and control the races of Middle-earth through the Rings of Power. The Nine Rings he gave to Men were specifically designed for that purpose, and the Seven Rings given to Dwarves had a different influence. Sauron didn't use the Dwarven Rings to create more Nazgul because they wouldn't have the same effect on Men. Answered by ChatGPT 3.5 since I also wanted to know the answer to this brilliant question 😅

@@unclepalp7048 That is literally contradicted by what is in the lore since the rings were made to corrupt the Elves and when that failed it was used against the men and dwarves. They worked the exact same but the natural resistance the Dwarves had in them negated the more harmful effects. If given to men then it would still have the same impact. Basically it would be like if two people were shot in the exact same spot with the exact same type of gun using the same type of ammo but one had bullet proof vest on and the other didn't, one is going to cause way more damage and possibly death while the other is just going to leave a bruise and a good amount of pain. That does not mean the guns that shot the person with bullet proof vest was worse or less effective it just means the person shot was better equipped to deal with it. This was the best analogy I could think of off the top of my head because I needed something where the same tool was used against people who had at least one difference it is not perfect but the closest I can compare right now. That is why I am asking someone who actually knows the lore then a second rate AI system that is just rewording lore instead of using critical thinking to give an answer based on their knowledge of the lore.

Possibly it was the very nature of the Dwarves that rendered the Seven Rings. Being created by Aule, Smith of the Valar, the dwarves have a deep natural affinity for stone and metal, as well as their endurance/ resistance. Would it not be possible, in such a world, that their resistance, though unconscious, could be active rather than passive? If that is the case, could this manifest as modification of the MAGICAL structure of the Seven? Reforging the original Elven magics into something more suitable for a Dwarf, so to speak? After all, if not for the influence of the One Ring, the Seven and the Nine would have likely conferred some small positive benefit upon their wearers

The character of Imrahil was not included in the movies to the capacity that he was included in the books. The character of Irolas was originally meant to be Beregond but when that character was reduced to barely any screen-time they separated him from that. The Lord of the Rings: Trading Card Game retconned the character as Imrahil.

Quick thing. As far as the wiki states, Imrahil had a second grandchild (Alphros) through his son Elphir. He would be several years older (born 3017 TA) and would become the 24th Prince of Dol Amroth.
