I dont think people give enough credit to Elijah Wood for the utter sincerity, innocence, and resolve he gives the first hobbit we EVER see on screen - Frodo. the dedication to giving him the childlike innocence & purity of hobbits yet ancient exhaustion and eldritch agony of a ringbearer is seriously worthy of note. lots of people rightly commend Sean Astin's work on LOTR (he was Oscar nommed) but Frodo really blows me away.

he presented us with the first image of a hobbit, and along with the other hobbit actors literally astounds me with how perfectly they crafted such endearing and fairytale-like creatures, the living breathing definition of Innocents which you come to cherish and completely understand why every other race of peoples on Middle Earth (and members of the Fellowship) come to head-over-heels adore them and protect them with their lives.

it's so believable & the seriousness with which Wood depicts Frodo's deeply inhuman sweetness and fable-like wholesomeness obviously took so much effort and concentration. it's a role i don't think a lot of people could pull off without it coming off as paper-thin or (for lack of better word, forgive me) "cringe". especially with Frodo being the MC and having so much screentime he does a phenomenal job.

hobbits, like dwarves and elves have physical markers to distinguish them from the race of Men in LOTR but the way they developed their outlooks, personalities, mannerism, and behaviors to so UTTERLY stand apart from Men seemed more difficult than with the dwarves or elves yet comes across CRYSTAL clear.

and Wood's Frodo is a HUGE reason for that.

giving him mad cred.

All the theater kids are tripping over themselves to fall in love with a tenor who sings Santa fe, but ya'll are sleeping on Agony. A man sings Agony and im immediately in love.

It will forever be hilarious to me that Disney wanted so fucking bad to make a Wicked movie — but couldn't get the rights from Universal — that they literally spent billions upon billions of dollars making SEVEN different films (and a whole season of television; not even including their sequels and spinoffs) more than one of which they even got Idina and Kristen to be in based on the stripped-down premise of "what if the Stock Female Antagonist™ was secretly the Misunderstood Angsty Girlboss Heroine™ all along?" (because Disney execs don't actually care about Wicked, they just saw Green, said "hey! if we can't get the real thing, why not use Our Own (and/or Public Domain) characters?" and simply followed the Marketing Department Road all the way to the bank).

Less funny is the fact they were so successful at it — regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of any of those projects — that it ended up getting the production of the actual Wicked movie delayed by more than a decade (because it would ironically have looked like a copycat and probably faded into the background if it had come out back when Disney was pumping out knockoffs every fucking year).
