Understandable. He was already too powerful anyways.
I’m just imagining an alternate version of the film where Sam becomes enraged after this and takes the stick, and somehow becomes the most powerful being in the land
She truly is as wise as they say.
I’d grant him a frypan that glows blue when in the presence of orcs.
A dutch oven that glows in the presence of po-ta-toes.
NGL, I’m still salty about how the movies changed Sam’s gift from the truly unique and meaningful one he got in the book to just the mf rope…
Wait, what was his gift in the book?
In the book, he gets a little box with soil and seeds from Galadriel’s garden to be used upon his return to the shire. After the scouring of the shire, he uses the soil to help regrow the trees that had been destroyed, and he plants the seed where the party tree used to be.
Oh yes, of course! A far better fitting gift for a gardener.
Three Sticks for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Stick to rule them all, One Stick to poke them,
One Stick to bring them all and in the darkness smite them.
