[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 395436, member: 2020"] I get the humor, of course. However ... Frodo lay starving, exhausted, and slowly dying, while the Ring tortured him and wrestled constantly to devour all that remained of him. Sam, lay starving, exhausted, and resigned to his own death, and the death of Frodo, upon the completion of their quest. And this, during the good times, when they actually could rest in peace. Being marched at a near run by the orcs, creeping up the enemy roads, hiding in holes in Gorgoroth, and suffocating in the poisoned air around Mount Doom, were not times when they were allowed the relative nicety of being able to rest in peace. - - - As for He-Man, he would have charged Barad-Dur, Battlecat and all. And Sauron would have remained up in Barad-Dur, regarding them, his Eye fixed upon them, and upon them he would have poured his hatred, his anger, his willingness to kill and destroy, in a focused beam of will. Of course, if you go by the story of He-Man, he would have been unaffected. (chuckles) Go by any other story, and that would have been the end. Even the distant sight of the projection of that will, shown only for a moment, and with it's power totally aimed elsewhere, stunned Sam and overwhelmed Frodo. Which shows that the world of Comic Books and the world of fantasy might be farther apart than people think. [/QUOTE]
