I want to fuck the shit out of this.
Gang bang, sorry Martin.
You know what’s weird?
You’ve got, like, five Hobbits, right, through the course of the Hobbit/LotR cycle. And they come from this bucolic little farming community. AND YET, the minute you hand one of those little buggers a sword, they go to town with it! I might be willing to buy this if it were just one of them—or maybe two, Frodo and Bilbo, maybe Bilbo showed him a few moves—but all of them?
What I take away from this is that in fact, in the early days of Middle Earth, Hobbit were bred as small assassin killing machines. They’ve forgotten their roots, but the bloody instincts remain dormant deep in their subconscious, just waiting to be awakened by the promise of violence and good weaponry.
