>but then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a hobbithow is that unlikely or unintended? smeagol was a hobbit and held the ring for 500 years, it passed from hobbit to hobbit
>>218653854It's because hobbits are innocent naive creatures that wouldn't naturally be drawn to a powerful ring.
>>218653854it’s like a pygmy african coming across the nuclear codes
>>218653942ummm racist much, sweaty?
I assumed that the ring actually wanted to be picked up by Bilbo in order to escape from Gollum.
>>218653942>>218654002I just watched a couple of episodes of River Monsters where he visits an African village and they all float around on logs and stab themselves with rusty fishhooks and die off in droves because they can't swim and they're too retarded to figure out that maybe if they fish a different way they won't get eaten by crocodiles because they have no concept of the future and negative reinforcement doesn't work on them. Guy tries his best to make it seem like this is a valid way to live and it's just the facts of life, but it really redpilled me. Fuck these people are dumb as shit
>>218654201The ring is REALLY stupid. It had control of the most powerful man alive when it was on Isildur. It had 3,000 years to corrupt him, turn his kingdom evil, cause him to make war on his neighbors and conquer Rohan or the Elven realms. Set up a whole religion worshipping Sauron which would be ready and waiting to welcome the dark lord back into Middle Earth. What does it do? Get him fucking killed next to a river then itself lost for thousands of years. Only to then hang out with fucking Gollum for half a millennia. Sauron must have been pissed at how stupid his precious ring was
>>218654414Rohan didn't exist until 2500 years after Isildur's death
