Dad there's still hope I want to marry Aragorn

>dad there's still hope I want to marry Aragorn
>NO! HE'LL DIE IN THE WAR AND IF HE DOESN'T HE'LL STILL DIE AND YOU'LL BE ALONE FOREVER! ALONE IN THE DARKNESS WHILE EVERYONE AROUND YOU DIES! DEATH!
Jeez what an asshole, isn't this guy's supposed to be a wise, loving sage?

Because he doesn't want his daughter to live for 4,000+ years mourning, She would outlive him by far.

Her choice shitlord

You would not understand love
Even me
We are all virgins here

plebs, arwen gives up her immortality

>Not knowing she dies of heartbreak after finding Lothlorien abandoned.

Its like you faggots don't read the lore.

>Rape kills elves
Was Tolkien /d/

dont ever fucking (you) me again
with information I already know you fucking cuck

Is the Gimli/Legolas bromance the Great Bromance of all time?

She could spend another 100 years with him and die on her own thousands of years later
ORRRRRRRRRRR
She can retire to the undying lands with her father and live at peace with every other elf shes known.

(you) seem mad friendo.

Good. There isnt a bigger curse than being an elf. They have no afterlife. They are reincarnated on the same miserable world again and again becoming more and more melancholic and morn the decay of magic amd the world. At least humans souls are free to explore other worlds.

Elves get to go join the Gods in their lands, other races just have their souls return to the Song.

>all elves leave the planet, along with wizards and all magic shit, the era of Men begins
>mfw I realized LOTR's meant to be a prequel to real life

Its like Conan, a distant unremembered age on earth.

What about hobbits, dwarves, ents, orcs, and other shit like that? It's kind of depressing to think that they all eventually went extinct.

Hobbits are still around. Everything else is dead. Any elf left behind is nothing but a roaming ghost now.

Hobbits are still around, they just dont interact with men anymore.

Did arwen actually become mortal or was it that she WILL eventually die by not going to the undying lands or was the giving up her immortality thing meant to be symbolic?

>dwarves
They're still here. Orcs probably would've gone extinct without Sauron's presence. Trees are "alive" in a way, maybe they stopped moving and talking because there's no need.

Elves are mega sensitive to emotions. They can die from depression

Half-elves get to chose if they want to be men or elves. Her father chose to be an elf.

I think I read somewhere that Numenor is supposed to be directly related to Atlantis, and Rivendale becomes Camelot

But she still didn't age? The only reason she died was not of old age but of a broken heart after Aragorn died of age.

Why couldn't she just get on a boat and sail to the undying lands on her own? She'll live to be 5,000 so 60 years with her human husband is like a month vacation.

Took ber long enoug. She was like 2800 years old at that point when she chose the Gift of Men.

Did Aragorn have death insurance or a plan to financially support his widow after his death? I mean she'd live for hundreds of more years after him, it would be irresponsible not to.

>Hobbits are still around
where they at though?

Ireland

>Arwen was 2700 years old when she met Aragorn
Lel this is below capeshit tier

>2700 years old pure maiden virgin.

How come Elrond has a big personality shift between The Hobbit and LOTR?

>Jeez what an asshole
He's got one of the shittiest stories in middle earth. He's cursed to be forever separated from the things he loves. His parents, his brother, his wife, his king, and now his daughter and middle earth itself.
Shit's pretty tragic.

Wait I thought he was the king of elves

>where they at though?
Read the beginning of the hobbit again. An in universe tolkien befriends some hobbits who still live in the english country side, they give him the red book of westmarch, and he translates the parts he likes into english to "preserve" their history.
So its really all a nested narative. Tolkien, the real one, wrote a book about a fictional tolkien who translates book(s) written by Bilbo and Frodo (the hobbit and LOTR, respectively). There is another volume, written by bilbo, that is the history of the elves, numenor, and middle earth's first age. This is what bilbo spent his time writing after he left the shire (they talk about it when frodo wakes up in rivendale).
So it's this really stealthy nested narrative.

No. Elrond was the standard bearer for Gil Galad, the last king of the Noldor.
There weren't enough Noldor left in middle earth after the last alliance to justify having a king anymore. Now hes the holder of a ring of power, lore master, and master of the last homely house. But not a King.

It was an anti-/d/ technique from a more innocent time.

But he acts and looks like a wise old king

The pathos is a pretty big part of it. By the time of LOTR ents and hobbits are already nothing more than fairy tales to the vast majority of men, and the elves' best case scenario was getting to leave middle earth forever

Nope. Thranduil was the king of mirkwood and the silvan elves, it's basically Doriath-in-exile. But no one pays wood elves much attention.

why does a half-elf get a ring tho

He could claim the supreme kingship of the Noldor in exile if we wanted
His dad is a literal star so who cares

Why is Based Hugo "Based" Weaving so goddamn Based?

because he didn't raise no fucking race mixing whore

Because it was Gil Galad's and so passed down to his second in command.
If he wanted to, but to whom? The handful of noldor that already live under him? He sure as shit isn't going to be telling based Cirdan or Galadriel what to do.

Orcs didn't go extinct, they're called muslims and niggers now

Is Sup Forums the only place elf threads don't turn into porn threads

Because he always in the majority of films plays the villain. Maybe thats why he's based?

Instead we worship Galadriel's feets and poop.

Yeah sure, the point is that he has the ancestry and can claim it. Cirdan just cares about his ships and Galadriel is tired of all the mortal shit and wants to chill in Valinor

>best movies ever made
>all good characters have white skin and most bad characters have brown skin

5,8 and half Irish
can confirm the Hobbit gene is still strong

the virgin Star Wars:
The Empire is a white supremacist fascist government opposed by a multi-cultural group led by '''''''brave'''''' women.
the chad lotr:
an empire of brown monsters trying to conquer the world opposed by a patriarchal group of brave white men

young races exclusively get to be with Eru

hobbits in ireland
dwarves in hyperborea

>Elves are supposed to be beautiful beings
>hire the most British looking guy for the part

Life imitates art.

Gee I wonder who you all voted for

Orcs go home

Not just any half-elf, the choice was only for the descendants of Beren and Luthien I think
