This is the part when you try to stop me and I beat the hell out of you.
The movies captured pretty accurately what I had imagined Middle Earth and its characters to be when I first read the LoTR 16 years ago, except for Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Frodo. In my imagination, Frodo was thin, ugly and gaunt; Strider was ugly as well, and not unlike a scarecrow. Boromir was basically a blonde Conan, and Legolas was dark-haired.

It may be that the books never truly described the characters to be as I pictured, and the movies were indeed more faithful, but these images stuck with me as I read through the pages nonetheless.

One question I've had is that it says that the rebuild gate to Minas Trinith was inlaid with mithril. But isn't Moria the only source of mithril in Middle Earth? So does that mean the dwarves go back to Moria again? :psydwarf:

They could have easily have reserves of mithril, mined in ages past.
