Meriadoc Brandybuck moments in the book that I wish we saw in the films

Merry solves the riddle of the ithildin door into Moria.

He was quick on the uptake in most situations, including when he anticipated Frodo's need to leave the Shire due to something involving Bilbo's ring.

In Rivendell, he studies maps to plot their journey.

Before the quest, he took charge of the chaotic distribution of Bilbo's gifts after he left for Rivendell, including handling the infamous Sackville-Bagginses.

He was quick-witted.

I've always remembered Lobelia shouting at Frodo that he's not really a Baggins, but a Brandybuck. Frodo says, "How do you like that, Merry? That was an insult, if you like!"

Merry shoots back, "It was a compliment. And so, of course, not true."

His "gentle loyalty", arguably something each of the hobbits possess, but not as emphasized in the films in Merry's case. I love the passage in RotK that describes Merry's courage arising from empathy for Eowyn's plight:

"suddenly the slow-kindled courage of his race awoke. He clenched his hand. She should not die, so fair, so desperate! At least she should not die alone, unaided.”

All the main hobbits play a significant role of their own in the Scouring, but it struck me that Merry is really the one who takes the strongest leadership role to rally their fellow hobbits and challenging the ruffians.

And to all this I love that Dominic Monaghan added hints of his own cheeky, devil-may-care energy.

i freaking love the lotr movies because you see a plethora of photos that look like they'd be those "lotr actor au" type things except IT'S NOT AN AU. THEY LITERALLY HAVE THE SWEETEST AND MOST TENDER THINGS CAPTURED ON CAMERA.

THOSE MOVIES WERE FILMED AND FORGED STRONG BONDS BETWEEN THE ACTORS AND CREW AND HORSES ON SET.

AND WE CAN SEE THE CAST BEING SILLY AND GOOFY IN AND OUT OF COSTUME

and yeah anyways i think about that a lot whenever i feel sad because then i get a lil serotonin boost from the bts-of-lotr photos

(this really was our fellowship of the ring ahh trilogy)
