I think your right Sam is the real hero and the movies don't give him enough praise for being a hero (i assume you are refering to the films because in the books he sails to valinor later)
BTW welcome to the moot ![]()

Sam is awesome. Without him, Middle Earth would be Kaput. I don't think Frodo under-appreciates him, but most other people do, especially the other hobbits in the Shire! Sure they made him Mayor, but they don't really understand what he's been through.

Sam under-appreciates himself, which is the leading cause of any Sam under-appreciation. IIRC, Sam was flabbergasted when Frodo suggested he run for mayor. Which he then did, and won, nine times. I guess he's pretty well appreciated after all.
![]() Not to mention that, outside of the Shire, he and Frodo are regarded as the heroes of the Third Age. But other than that... ![]()

![]() Actually, Frodo wasn't really regarded as a hero...and Sam was elected Mayor of Hobbiton like twenty times in a row...
