BeardofPants · 06-04-2002, 02:06 AM

Anyway, back to topic....

Would a female elf/dwarf really effect the fellowship that much? Heh. Especially when you consider how androgenous they both are...!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-04-2002, 02:09 AM

I think you are right, BoP, a female elf or dwarf would not have changed much. Tolkien never would have written it that way, but. . .oh well. *shrug*

Tar-Elendil · 06-04-2002, 12:12 PM

if you really want a female in the fellowship just make yourself think gimli is a girl. :P

Radagast The Brown · 06-04-2002, 02:47 PM

Can't be worse than the 12 year old fangirls, surely? Horrid things.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-04-2002, 06:21 PM

I'd say the fanboys wouldn't be as bad as the 12 year old fangirls. . .

I think that the whole "Can not be killed by a mortal man" thing means gender, as most of the people who have tried to kill him before (if that had ever happened) would have been male, either being an Elf or a Man as women were not expected to fight then.
Hobbits would not be included because they were a peaceful race and kept themselves to themselves, they were pretty much undiscovered so the Nazgul king would have no need to protect himself from them if he didn't know that the race existed.

I think that it was Eowyn that killed him btw, not Merry, but without him she wouldn't have had the chance to strike the fatal blow.
