>>213296738>Film Frodo: 18 years old, crying in every scene, banishes Sam They never say Frodo is 18 in the films, he cries very rarely (most notably when Gandalf dies), and sending Sam away changed nothing, the events still ended up the same.
>Film Aragorn: I dun' wan' it... nevah 'aveAragorn wants it, he's just afraid he'd be weak like Isildur. It's his arc, he realises he's a better man through the journey and that's what leads him to face Sauron in the Palantir.
>Film Merry&Pippin: retarded clownsHyperbole. They not only distracted Uruks to allow Frodo to escape, they also led the Ents against Isengard, and saved Eowen and Faramir respectively.
>Film Gimli: retarded clownMore hyperbole.
>Film Elrond: Cold, manipulative politician who hates humanityNot even remotely accurate.
>Film Faramir: Skeevy leader of thugs who wants the ringHow are you this bad at understanding character traits? He's not skeevy, he leads the Ithilien Rangers, and he doesn't want the Ring, he wants to help his people and prove himself to his father.
>Film Denethor: Just plain evil and mad from the start.This is as retarded as trying to say Film Theoden was plain evil because we didn't see his gradual corruption by Wormtongue.
You could certainly try to go on, but it seems you're mostly wrong and making shit up. None of which excuses actual major deviations RoP makes like:
>changing Finrod's death from barehandedly killing werewolves to just getting stabbed by Sauron>having Gandalf turn up in the Second Age before Sauron was even established>having the Balrog wake up in the Second Age instead of causing the fall of Khazad-dum in the Third Age>making Sauron a generic man who meets Galadriel on a raft and then goes to Numenor where there's already strife without them ever going to war and taking him as prisoner>Galadriel getting on a boat and then trying to swim back to Middle-earth, which was what Amroth tried and failed to do>Eregion elves don't understand alloys>etc
