I think they are cooler than dwarfs and goblins, gamers are simply too insecure to admit it
>>722561440>le subhuman race... is actually le valiant heroTolkienshit is cringe as fuck lmao
>>722561440Hobbits are cool, Gnomes are fucking trash.
they make good whores
They are probably the almost Anglo thing ever put to paper.
>>722561440They are cooler because they live only to be comfy by eating, smoking, drinking, and making lots of kids.
>>722561596>no hobbit gf
>>722561440they are literally the lamest of all the "smallfolk" races, the being pure hearted and aloof thing can work in books but the only kind of video game they'd work well in is some kind of comfy farming simulator
Dwarves are cool, too. Retards just keep putting in the FUNNI HAHA GRUDGES dwarves instead of the secretive craftsmen and appreciators of beauty Tolkien wrote his (that every modern fantasy portrayal is a bastardization of) to be."Strange are the ways of Men, Legolas! Here they have one of the marvels of the Northern World, and what do they say of it? Caves, they say! Caves! Holes to fly to in time of war, to store fodder in! My good Legolas, do you know that the caverns of Helm’s Deep are vast and beautiful? There would be an endless pilgrimage of Dwarves, merely to gaze at them, if such things were known to be. Aye indeed, they would pay pure gold for a brief glance!">"And I would give gold to be excused," said Legolas; "and double to be let out, if I strayed in!"

>>722561910>"You have not seen, so I forgive your jest," said Gimli. "But you speak like a fool. Do you think those halls are fair, where your King dwells under the hill in Mirkwood, and Dwarves helped in their making long ago? They are but hovels compared with the caverns I have seen here: immeasurable halls, filled with an everlasting music of water that tinkles into pools, as fair as Kheled-zâram in the starlight. And, Legolas, when the torches are kindled and men walk on the sandy floors under the echoing domes, ah! then, Legolas, gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished walls; and the light glows through folded marbles, shell-like, translucent as the living hands of Queen Galadriel. There are columns of white and saffron and dawn-rose, Legolas, fluted and twisted into dreamlike forms; they spring up from many-coloured floors to meet the glistening pendants of the roof: wings, ropes, curtains fine as frozen clouds; spears, banners, pinnacles of suspended palaces! Still lakes mirror them: a glimmering world looks up from dark pools covered with clear glass; cities, such as the mind of Durin could scarce have imagined in his sleep, stretch on through avenues and pillared courts, on into the dark recesses where no light can come. And plink! a silver drop falls, and the round wrinkles in the glass make all the towers bend and waver like weeds and corals in a grotto of the sea. Then evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream. There is chamber after chamber, Legolas; hall opening out of hall, dome after dome, stair beyond stair; and still the winding paths lead on into the mountains’ heart. Caves! The Caverns of Helm’s Deep! Happy was the chance that drove me there! It makes me weep to leave them."
>>722562008>"Then I will wish you this fortune for your comfort, Gimli,’ said the Elf, ‘that you may come safe from war and return to see them again. But do not tell all your kindred! There seems little left for them to do, from your account. Maybe the men of this land are wise to say little: one family of busy dwarves with hammer and chisel might mar more than they made.">"No, you do not understand," said Gimli. "No dwarf could be unmoved by such loveliness. None of Durin’s race would mine those caves for stones or ore, not if diamonds and gold could be got there. Do you cut down groves of blossoming trees in the springtime for firewood? We would tend these glades of flowering stone, not quarry them. With cautious skill, tap by tap – a small chip of rock and no more, perhaps, in a whole anxious day – so we could work, and as the years went by, we should open up new ways, and display far chambers that are still dark, glimpsed only as a void beyond fissures in the rock. And lights, Legolas! We should make lights, such lamps as once shone in Khazad-dûm; and when we wished we would drive away the night that has lain there since the hills were made; and when we desired rest, we would let the night return.">"You move me, Gimli," said Legolas. "I have never heard you speak like this before. Almost you make me regret that I have not seen these caves. Come! Let us make this bargain – if we both return safe out of the perils that await us, we will journey for a while together. You shall visit Fangorn with me, and then I will come with you to see Helm’s Deep."

>>722562096That's the Scouring of the Shire, a bit of the last book left out of the movies. The Hobbits return home to find that the Shire has been invaded and taken over by a gang of common thugs, which they don't even entertain for a moment before starting a revolution against them along with the other hobbits who've been too intimidated until this point to put up a real fight. In the end, it turns out Saruman (who was locked up in his tower after the argument with Gandalf and the others after the ents flooded the place) is leading them, and tossed aside any semblance of nobility or grace. He's just a petty bastard trying to make the hobbits suffer, and ends up being killed by Wormtongue after Frodo spares him a second time.
>>722562321cutting this is the worst part of the film adaptations, this is supposed to show the growth of the hobbits as characters, but Peter retardson decided to just cut it out
