Why bring these 2 small, weak, cowardly idiots on a dangerous journey? why not have them executed so they don't tell anyone about the ring or the fellowship's plan?
>>
Why not just kill every person you come across and take their shit? You're on a mission to save the world after all, they'd understand.
>>
They are spare midgets in case Frodo gets corrupted or dies.

Why didn't your mom strangle you in the crib?
>>
Why didn’t the just fly on the eagles to Mt Doom?
>>
The official lore says 1 Frodo and 3 body doubles. The common bad guys don't know which one of them has the ring. They're outnumbered and outgunned so their strategy is subterfuge and stealth, else they'd just amass all of the armies of the elves, humans, dwarves, etc. and march on Mordor directly.

Though never explicitly stated, I always assumed this was the thought process behind Elrond allowing them to join the Company. Its also exactly what happened at Amon Hen.
The book is also full of "god works in mysterious ways n shit" and they wind up being instrumental in victory over Sauron.

The guy who wasted 3000 years of his life smoking weed?

>can see the future
>can't see Isildur will betray him

Merry and Pippin saved the war effort, dumbass. Without them, the ents don't mobilize and Isengard fucks Gondor in the back.
>>
>>219887804
Backup ring bearers.
As the story progressed they also became good decoys.

Failed Sally-Anne test.
>>
>>219887804
The movies skipping the Old Forest part did a lot to de-personalize all the hobbits.
>>
>>219888503
I don't know what that means.
>>
>>219887804
They aren't retarded clowns in the books, Hackson decided to completely change their characters because he hates the source material
>>
>>219887804
>Why bring these 2 small, weak,
They became hobbit giga chads after drinking ent juice
>>
>>219888668
Well Pippin is a little bit, but its way overblown in the movies.
>>
>>219887804
back up Ringbearers if something happens to Frodo or Sam.
Emergency button is Gimli

It means not realizing that other people (or movie characters in this case) don't have access to the same information as you.
Apes pass it btw.
>>
>>219887804
it's still a children's story. It's a hobbit sequel.
>>
>>219887866
>>219887914
I figured it was pretty obvious in the Twin Towers where the Uru'kai are taking them to Saruman
>>
>>219888823
I'm that case Elrond was right to send them anyway and you're still BTFO'd.
>>
>>219887804
You're shockingly homosexual. And black too.
>>
>>219887804
I dislike the hobbits especially Sam and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Yes I get it. They are muh sturdy meme englishmen from the shires but I really don't like it.
>>
Please pay attention while watching the movie, they snuck in and couldn't just be sent back to be sitting ducks.
>>
>>219888823
This "test" lacks information. Do Sally and Anne know each other? If so, then Sally would know that Anne is prone to moving her things.
>>
>>219887804
why didn't they just fly the hobbits to Eagledor?
>>
>>219887804
you need someone to sing songs and keep the merriment up on the hard journey
