They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x
I thought Sam did put on the ring in the books.
It also affected Boromir just being around it.
Didn’t Smeagol kill a friend just to have it before even wearing it?
Yes. Basically, Sam was practically only one in the Fellowship who could resist the temptations of The Ring, because he had really simple desires.
I dunno… he didn’t have it for very long in the films, then hesitated when Frodo asked for it back. He resisted the ring, but it still affected him a little bit.
It was more a concern for Frodo as Frodo was desperatefor the ring at the time.
In the book it shows you how the ring attempted to corrupt him and he kind of went “meh” at it.
How did the ring attempt to corrupt ol’ Samwise?
I forget the exact wording, but the Ring essentially showed Sam visions of being some sort of a supreme gardener king. Sam dismissed that as fucking stupid, because he just wants a simple garden.
Gollum would’ve jumped into the fires with the mouse and that wouldn’t be ok.
Biblo not skewering Gollum the first time he met him was kind of understandable and very merciful of him, the fact that no one else did it makes me question the approach to logic people in Middle Earth have.
Literally, my reaction as a soldier of whatever nation when I see Gollum would be ‘ew’, stab
What you’d go around stabbing people with severe weight/hair loss?
