Fully cleaning up all of the LOTR related pages has been on my distant to-do list for some time. If you feel like starting the process, go ahead. De-nattering should be a first step.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I prefer to leave the explanations on this page rather than move them to the main one. A simple list with no details isn't really useful in my opinion, is it? It is better to know how a trope apply than just that it does (idk, the second becomes just a troper's opinion?)
And I think it makes more sense to leave the details here rather than the main page, since that list is a lot longer and a lot messier than this one. Here a troper could explain in one or two short sentences how a trope fit a single character, whereas there there would simply be the list of characters that fit the trope.

Gollum should get some kind of Badass mention, he resisted the One for six hundred frikkin' years, frequently using the thing. Frodo couldn't hold out just for the trip to Mordor.

Gollum didn't resist a damn thing. His obsession with the ring utterly consumed him.
He resisted fading, but not psychologically.

actually he resisted quite well for quite a long time, psychologically included - otherwise smeagol wouldn't exist at all
you know about the ringwraiths and what they are

Just noting, I removed several parts of this to a new page because the mods have ruled we can't use Characters/ pages for tropes associated with an entire race (or class, faction, whatever).

Would Meriadoc count as Team Mom for the four Hobbtits on the trip from the Buckland to Bree? Or is there a The Sensible One trope?

I don't think it really fits. Merry is only the group's guide up to the encounter with Old Man Willow; after that, he's as out of his depth as the other three.
Groovy.

Pulled:
- Hot Amazon: Believe it or not, Galadriel is considered this by the standards of the Ñoldor. One of her birth names was Nerwen, meaning "man-maiden", due to her unusually large stature and strong musculature for an elf woman.
Hot Amazon was transplanted to Amazon Chaser. There is not enough context here to tell if this is misuse, or a good example. If these characters are attracted to her because of her Amazon-ness, please return it to the appropriate character(s) and/or the main work page under the correct trope name.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up. Hide / Show Replies
Neither of those apply to her. She's athletic and fast and capable of fighting, but there's no mention of her "bulking out" nor of people being attracted to her for any specific reason besides her conventional beauty.

I copied the Characters text to a new name-space, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TheLordOfTheRingsFilmTrilogy
.
That way, people can write about the characterizations of the film characters on their own pages, not mix it up with the originals.
Also the film pictures bugged me.

Note that this list is filed under Literature while the movie list is filed under Live-Action Film, and I did edit the text for both already, removing tropes and text that don't cross over.

If this page were to have pictures as many of the other Characters pages do, would illustrations or movie photos be preferred/more appropriate?
Edited by AcidQueen
Isn't this supposed to be more of a really short list of all the tropes rather than detailed explanation of why they apply to the character? Wouldn't the detail be better in the main page, leaving this as a simple list?
