Jesus being white.

No Scouring of the Shire

No Tom Bombadil

I don't know if there are many things it necessarily improved on, but there are lots of things I'm glad that they did differently.

Many of the Frodo/Sam scenes held emotional weight that I didn't feel in the books. I love them both so I can't pick a favorite, but it's nice that they both exist so I can appreciate both of them.

Eye of Sauron being an actual thing

no scouring of the shire.

I like the idea that the Shire just carried on as if nothing happened at all.

You mean Boromir right? I don't remember Faramir being a danger to Frodo but Boromir was in the books as well.

Faramir in the books didn't have any desire for the ring and let Frodo go on his merry way. They changed it in the movie so that he was initially drawn to it and eventually resists

Skipping Tom Bombadil, because he doesn't make sense, and if you try to make him fit all of the other characters don't make sense.

>>70398459
I feel like he makes sense and is a cool character, but trying to explain who he is, what he is, and why he doesn't do anything in a tiny part of the first movie would be next to impossible

>>70398518
Because there is no reasonable way to explain these.

^this

tom bombadil is just fucking weird. the whole scene is jsut gay as fuck, adds nothing to the plot of the book other than
"oh yeah theres a weird forest and some weird super happy guy with a woman in it, anyways on with the story"

toning down the homoerotic relationships between the hobbits.

seriouslly i get the whole "different times back when he wrote it" but its so gay the way frodo and sam talk to each other. in the books sam talks to frodo like he's in deep love with him. theres friendship love and theres gay love and sam was gay for frodo, him marrying rosie was just him denying his lustful thoughts.
