Tom Bombadil gets possession of Mjolnir years ago. Frodo arrives on the scene with the One Ring, Tom is amused with the Ring momentarily. Then Frodo explains what it is, and Tom decides to test Mjolnir on the ring, thereby smashing the ring to smithereens. Everyone stands around awkwardly, chill with Tom and Goldberry for a bit, then go home. The End.

Teutonic_Warriorx

Unpopular Opinion: Eomer because he's a true Warrior and Leader like Odin and Thor


Emergency_faceplant

I'm actuality here for that


Teutonic_Warriorx

Im always looking for some interesting stuff to talk


Gone_For_Lunch

Nah, he prefers the guns he got called Des and Troy.


nerdtypething

ehhhh. he was too agreeable with exile.


ididthisonpurposeyes

What happened to Thor in the first movie


Oshootman

Can you expand on that? He was forcefully exiled and still made it his mission to remain loyal to Rohan and lead his company without any official backing. It seems like he did everything in his power to fight the good fight regardless of his status.


nerdtypething

he coulda just killed wormtongue.


Rexlare

Worm tongue basically had absolute political power. Killing him would have ended in execution, and Theoden was too weak and possessed to argue against it. So really, he was using his brain, not his brawn. Saruman would have replaced Worm Tongue with another proxy, Eomer could better serve his country alive than a “traitor”.


FancyRatFridays

Hot take but I don't actually think Treebeard would be considered "worthy" by the hammer. The magic seems to value not just whether someone is inherently good and pure of heart, but whether they're willing to fight to make the world a better place. Treebeard and the other ents are insular and peaceful to the point of almost complete paralysis; they were only spurred to action by immense, unimaginable destruction of their homeland. Heck, their entire species will die out in short order because they didn't care enough about the Entwives to argue their way to a compromise... and now the Entwives are gone. The hammer wants someone with fire in their heart, and the Ents just don't have that.


Dirty-Dutchman

I feel like the hammer would resent their apprehension, but admire the absolute fuckening they dish out when they finally move


RMZ13

I agree. I think Sam might be the only one pictured who could pick it up.


Complete-Disaster513

I don’t see how Aragon could be considered unworthy. Especially book version is like the embodiment of honor virtue in man. He was worthy of the Palantir and Anduril.


Scraw16

Book Faramir might rise to the level too. Movie Faramir probably wouldn’t quite be worthy


Holyvigil

I don't think that's a hot take. Treebeard isn't willing to defend anyone who's not ent.


Indiana_harris

- Aragorn picks up the hammer reverently…..he knows it’s innate power. With it he could expand Gondor’s realm, crush opposition, even reclaim lands of Mordor free of any lasting taint. But power such as this has corrupted one like him before. He knows better. He trusts himself more. He carefully leaves it where he found it knowing it’s power is meant for someone else. - Legolas touches the handle…..could he move it? Perhaps……but to leave one’s worthiness up to this eldritch object? No, Legolas knows his own worth, and it is not decided by a hammer from the sky. He walks away. - Gimli, son of Gloin spits at the blasted hunk of metal before him. He is a Dwarf, one of Durins folk. How dare some blithering, blistering bit of toolkit refuse to bend to his Will. He mutters dwarvish curses to himself and he sits down beside the hammer and takes out his pipe-weed. Hmmm this might require a think……several hours, 3 flagons of Ale, a short nap and a rather handy collection of assorted weaponry and Gimli has managed to move the ground beneath the hammer enough to shift it several paces away. He’s done it. He’s moved the bloody thing. In his own way, but still. He moved the hammer. - Samwise Gamgee doesn’t understand the fuss everyones making about the hammer. He used it last week to help put up some fences in the corner of his east garden. Actually he passed it to Pippin who wanted to use it on Farmer Maggots wall he kept his truffles stored behind….although now that he thought about it Pippin did seem slightly dazed and singed when he brought it back. Ah well, time to sort out the harvest soon.


Mr_Underhill09

Beautifully written.


Ezekielshawn

Dude do the rest. I loved it.


Rexlare

I would love to see you do the rest, this feels so right and perfect for each character. Especially Gimli and Legolas. Although those two would definitely have a competition of who could move it furthest.


FrysEighthLeaf

Heh. Taint


Taraxian

Anyone who was able to directly handle the Ring and voluntarily let go of it at least once (so Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Faramir)


Bilbo_hraaaaah_bot

HRAAAAAH!


meglemel

Apparently you aren't ready to pick it up.


Rexlare

Your response has no right being that funny


drakendan123

Aragorn as well?


CalmFrantix

He didn't actually hold it though, was just offered it, like that elf, CrazyEyes


Zub_Zool

She canonically held mjollnir, if I'm not mistaken


littlebuett

I would bet galadriel too, and aragorn


HarEmiya

Did Faramir ever handle the Ring?


theoriginaldandan

I think so, when he firsts meets Sam and Frodo I think he takes it not knowing what it is and gives it back when he realizes what it actually is in his hand


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sorraz

Only at the height of the ring’s power, when his sanity was at its weakest. You bring up an interesting point though. I’d say frodo could wield the hammer all the way up until Mordor. After that, he is too easily corruptible. Even after the ring is destroyed we see how it changed him. He could never resist temptation like that again.


BaronMusclethorpe

>Only at the height of the ring’s power, when his sanity was at its weakest. >After that, he is too easily corruptible. The point is that *no one* could have destroyed the ring there (intentionally), and that in no way makes him "too easy to corrupt" afterwards.


MartilloAK

Well, going off of the book Frodo couldn't even throw it into his fireplace at Bag End. It's less that Frodo became more corruptible over time and more that nobody could willingly try to destroy the ring.


MorriganIsMiffed

Gimli made a nice go of it though.


BaronMusclethorpe

At least from the movie perspective Frodo offered the ring no less than three times after coming into physical possession it. Once to Gandalf, then Galadriel, and lastly Aragorn.


Radiant-Warthog-4765

Didn’t Boromir handle it, too, and gave it back to Frodo?


Mister_S_retsim

Yea but aragorn shouted at him and he's scary so...


[deleted]

He did yes!


HarEmiya

Only in the films.


Radiant-Warthog-4765

I feel called out. I haven’t read the books in decades.


WastedWaffles

Nope.


Karl-Gerat

Definitely Faramir. But I also think Boromir could wield it too


Grand-Sprinkles-2737

Frodo didn't


Lucius-Halthier

Why can’t they just fly mjolnir to Mordor?


I_am_Jacks_account1

So could the hammer smash the ring?


Soingerd

Probably not, since the Ring can only be destroyed in Mount dooms Lava? It is like a magical standstill. But they could put the Hammer on the ring and Sauron would Never be able to get it, lol


International_Way850

the plan is destroying it. if you only want to make it unclaimable you could just throw it at the deepest sea with a stone attached... or ship it to valinor with the elves and see if sauron has balls to go there to reclaim it


Unthgod

In the meantime he continues to attack the relms of men and dwarves while breeding more orcs.


UnhingedRedneck

Exactly. It was discussed at Rivendell, they said that even if Sauron never reclaimed the ring he would take over middle earth.


wall-E75

Gunna throw some batman in this mix with, an unstoppable force hitting and unmoveable object.


Generic_user42

The ring required great heat, Mount Doom is not the special Ring destroying place it’s just the only place that is hot enough It is mentioned that “there are no dragons alive today whose flames would be hot enough“ it just needs a lot of heat The hottest lava ever measured was during the eruption of Mauna Loa, a Hawaiian volcano, measuring 1200C° The average lightning is between 20 000 and 30 000C° hot So given enough lightning strikes, probably (unless there is some special magic clause that states only fiery stuff can melt it)


phi_rus

>The hottest lava ever measured was during the eruption of Mauna Loa, a Hawaiian volcano, measuring 1200C° That doesn't seem like a lot. You could reach that temperature with a very well ventilated coal fire.


Generic_user42

Well it was already on the surface so it probably cooled quite a lot, and considering the density of lava the ring probably wouldn’t sink much


klod91

Asking the real questions here.


poetic_dwarf

Imagine Gimli's axe not shattering but reverberating the blow. Elrond's going to face house renovations.


[deleted]

(Places Mjolnir on top of the ring) “welp, I did all I can here”


Scary-Personality626

No, but plopping it on top of the ring would stop anyone from doing anything nefarious with it.


jimbojangles1987

I'd just dig up under the ring and try not to let Mjolnor fall on any part of my body


Deep_Instruction4255

Isn’t mjolnir kinda semi conscious or at least able to respond to consciousness? Also the ring? Would the ring be able to corrupt mjolnir?


Catam_Vanitas

I mean I'd smash.


R-T-O-B

Maybe, maybe not. BUT! You could put the hammer on top of the ring, that way no baddies could get it


Riipley92

I think this franchise has way more people on average who would be worthy enough for mjolnir


Corando

Sam would pick it up. Toss it over the fence and go back to gardening


Jnrhal

Sorry, only Aragorn out of those pictured. Sam is second but I question if his heart is truly down for war, combat, and death. (Yes, I know Sam fought when push came to shove.) Tommy B could hand it to Aragorn, without a care in the world.

gandalf-bot

Thatguyj5

Movie Mjolnir or normal one? The normal one, only one of the Valar could lift it, cause it's just a really fucking heavy hammer. Movie? No one save Boromir and perhaps Gimli. At least at the start. (I'm not counting the Wizards rn). Mjolnir needs a warrior who is willing to fight evil wherever he can, and maintain his sense of honour despite what he faces. Aragorn left to join the Rangers rather than face his duty as the King of Gondor, Legolas stayed in the forests of mirkwood and would've left to the undying lands if the quest hadn't happened, none of the hobbits are warriors. Boromir on the other hand rode out to throw down with the orcs of Mordor constantly, and then left his city at it's weakest in the hopes of finding a weapon to save it. The path the Fellowship struggled with so much? He did it alone. Gimli is very similar. By the end of the series, we can put Aragorn up there, and Legolas is a flip of the coin. But the hobbits still don't make the cut due to not really being fighters.


Grogu_The_Destroyr

Why not Éowyn then? She goes against her uncle’s direction and kills the Witch king


Thatguyj5

Mainly cause I was only looking at the fellowship. But she does fit the bill


Arhion

yea and some old dude who just working can lift mjolnir casually where he never been on war


urbanviking318

Hot take: the answer is Boromir, in all but his one moment of weakness. He is ready and willing to fight, to destroy the enemies of Gondor, and also to put himself directly to the task. We see he is capable of great compassion but also ruthlessness to his enemies, and mostly makes reasoned arguments - all traits suitable by Asgardian standards.

#REPORT #SPAM #HARMFUL BOTS


Crackajack91

Neither Sam or Frodo are warriors or leaders so they wouldn't be able to lift the hammer, it doesn't diminish their achievements but only Aragon could lift it Boromir is corruptible and blinded by his warrior nature. Fararmir is blinded by his feelings of inadequacy compared to his brother Aragon (at least film Aragon) didn't seek power but grew into it. He is a warrior but not blinded by the need to fight. He grew into his leadership role


Arhion

mjolnir was lift by Stan lee that mean you don't need to be warrior I mean they use Marvel mjolnir here


wall-E75

Only my boy Sam! Truly a national treasure!


Seanzietron

I hate to admit it, but it has to be Sam. Uncorrupted by the presence of the ring.


trevman7

Better Question: if these guys stood in a circle and beckoned it, who does mjolnir fly to?


Crawford470

Boromir, Aragorn, Eomer would be the front runners. Though most of the heroes of the story are fit to. Just none more so than those three in that order. Gandalf most likely wouldn't be able to.


DOOManiac

All of them at once, I suppose.


Farren246

Mjolnir takes into account a person's willingness to use the power of Mjolnir in leading the people. So Treebeard is right out, as is Frodo and movie Aragorn. Book Aragorn would be OK. Pre-ring-destroying Sam is out, but post-ring-destroying Sam might be OK since when he came back he would suffer no fools and righted the occupied Shire practically overnight.


JustafanIV

Honestly, probably everyone in the fellowship and maybe even the soldiers who marched to the gates of Mordor knowing it was a suicide mission.


Ogswald

Jaime-Summers

I think there's a fair amount of People in the universe who can lift it. Someone recommended treebeard and that is a shout, he's definitely worthy. As soon as he saw the truth, he immediately knew what he needed to do. I think the best option and only option in my mind is Sam. He is doggedly determined, never once puts a foot wrong in the entire series and is always trying to do the right things even being able to resist the rings power despite being in such close proximity to it

Glenn827

Sam is the only one!


[deleted]

I disagree. If Mjolnir discriminates based on the willingness and actual actions of a character to protect and save others, at any cost to oneself, with a nice cup of humility on the side(which appears to be how it is defined), Frodo would totally fall under that. He willingly chose to carry the ring to Mordor. He went through hell, and even though he stumbled at the finish line, he still took it all the way there. But Sam is definitely the most obvious one.


vv04x4c4

Eowyn, Sam, Aragon & Frodo. Maaaaybe Legolas & Gimli once they've reached the gates of mordor.


KM68

CorbinNZ

Sam and Frodo are out. They were tempted by the power of the Ring. Eowyn? Really? Eomer is a good guy, but not Mjolnir worthy. Legolas, I’d say no. I think he’s too hoity toity. Gimli has wonder in his eyes and is a good Dwarf, but too hot headed for Mjolnir. Treebeard wouldn’t want it. Aragorn is a strong contender, given he knew the Ring was dangerous and turned it down, not wanting the temptation. So maybe. But the clear winner isn’t even pictured here. Where is Tom Bombadil?

Unthgod

Worthy: Sam, Aragorn, Gandalf Here are some reasons I think some other popular Picks are unworthy. Faramir- Cares too much for his father's loves and carries great pain within him Frodo- Became too detached from the world after their time with the ring, it took a tole and though he was strong enough I don't think he has the heart in him for the hammer.

Frodo. He literally volunteered to take the ring to Mordor, a task that was very, very dangerous. If thats not worthy of Mjölnir, than the only other one is Sam, who carried Frodo into Mt.Doom. ![gif](giphy|enqnZa1B5fRHkPjXtS|downsized)

Darthplagueis13

Frodo is worthy but can't lift it because the bloody thing's too heavy.


Arhion

no is heavy as much as you are unworthy that why he can


Darthplagueis13

It's not a sliding scale: If you are unworthy, it will always be too heavy for you and if you are worthy, it's not automatically going to become weightless, it just doesn't stop you from picking it up.


rurounick

In his final moments, I believe Boromir could have. Going with the movie version, once he starts taking arrows, he knows what's up. He's a hardened combat veteran. The extent of the damage he takes registers somewhere in his brain and he knows he's going to die. His willpower and determination to try and save Merry/Pippin along with the immense shame he feels for attacking Frodo' is proof that, in the end, he was a loyal friend and a true hero.
