Aragorn, son of Arathorn

>Gimli, son of Gloin
>Theoden, son of Thengel

Why is the father's name always cooler?

>A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained weddingveil and some in headgear of cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or saber done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses’ ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse’s whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen’s faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.

I might be small brained but I find this disembodied sort of narration to be voiceless. Lolita is the only literature I've enjoyed and my enjoyment came from the personality that burst out of the narrator. I wouldnt call this excerpt purple, but it doesn't seem to care about directness. Shouldnt a description have aim? Words are pegs to hang ideas on. As with all McCarthy books we'll have to wait for a director to add the much needed direction and soul to the "elegant", "literate" and even "mannerly" groundwork so that it can finally become something that means anything.

I like Theoden more than Thengel.

Imagine some yellow dwarf going
>Oh no, yestelday I fuck bat, today I feer gleat pain in my gloin!

Could have been a lot worse.
Just ask his father

I take it this is /lit/ pasta?

They can't pronounce L, retard, R and L don't magically switch around in chink speech.

Americans literally can't understand Tolkien's genius. Or anything about European folklore really for that matter. They even can't spell anything right. They always even pronounce historical names and words wrong, and smugly think their vulgar form of English is the only eternal language to exist.

sóy

Have you ever heard a dog-and-bat-eating dwarf talk?
I don't think so.
Checkmate, atheists!

if you give your son a cooler name than yourself you're a cuck

eventually every male will be called jeff

I thought Aragorn was the son of Isildur, the guy who killed Sauron and took his ring, or am I just a brainlet

no you're right. aragorn is 3000 years old

Turbo brainlet.

Well i thought aragorn was a numenorian, arent they supposed to be super strong ubermenschen who live up to thousands of years and shit

He isn't talking about chinese people, he's talking about dwarves.

Numenorians live a few hundred years dude. Not 3000.

Ok im sorry... but he IS related to Isildur, right?

Jeff pls go

Same. And Gloin is objectively shit.

he is a direct male line descendant of Isildur, but they're like 30-40 generations apart

that's Gloin, son of Groin to you

Theoden is quite possibly the Chaddest name I’ve ever heard.

>They can't pronounce L
absolute brainlet.

The reason why Chinese switch around r and l is because they are not distinct phonemes, they are allophones of the same phoneme, which makes it hard to distinguish for them.

An inverse example could be aspirated plosives - e.g. the first t in 'poTato' is aspirated in English and is a different sound than the second, unaspirated 't'. In some languages, such as Korean, aspirated and unaspirated t are distinct phonemes (so that if you pronounce one instead of the other you actually change the meaning of the word), while to an English speaker they sound the same, because these sounds are not phonemic in English.

no

>Aragorn, son of Arathorn
You wouldn't say that if you knew what Aragorn means in Sindarin. It means "Revered King".
And he put that name aside anyway when he became High King of the Reunited Kingdom.

Eomer sounds fucking amazing, too, very warrior-like

>king of Man
>marries an Elf
what did he mean by this?

how hard can it be to distinguish between to distinct sounding sounds?

reminder that arwen is related to aragorn

Rent free

He is a colonizer, He wanted humans to colonize all pusy from all races

brainlet response

It's Anglo-saxon and appears in Beowulf

How, they are completely different species

That's a different issue, dipshit. It's physical, their articulators can't pronounce L in speech because they lose the ability, literally, as they mature. It's called Engrish for a reason.

What's, taters precious?

Not me, faggot.

>Numenorian
You're getting mixed up. Aragorn was a Nemoidian.

I agree.

Elves and men can breed in LotR and the kings of men have elf admixture. Basically Arwen is like Aragorn's great-great-great-great-great-aunt.

>and legolas of the woodland realm
Wtf why did he stiff legolas father like that?

Aragorn's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, and then some, uncle is Elrond.

My first and last name, though neither all that uncommon, translates into badassery when you look up the etymology. It’s an old, old family name that pops up every couple of generations or so and first and last together mean “Mighty, spear-wielding protector.”

I dig that.

I know that the Emperor would not approve "xeno scum", but remember that Aragorn comes fromn a looong line of kings that trace their heritage and blood back to Elves.
Don't forget that only near the end of the Third Age and the beginning of the Fourth do Men actually become rulers of Middle Earth and protags. Before it was always the Elves at various extents.

They are so distant that we are more related than them

That is Legolas' father's name.

Because Thranduil is a bit of a dick in the Hobbit and he didn't want to broadcast his relationship.

my dad is Andrew and i am Victor

aragorn is 87 and simply forgot
gloin is easier to remember

>they have a bog roll

I assume you have a Germanic name then, most of them pertain to either fighting, protection, ruling or animals (especially wolves).

Correct.

>I'm Cock, son of Glans
Oh no...

Sneed, the seed of Chuck!

how? it almost sounds like Theodore.

Except it doesn’t. It sounds like “The Odin.”

reviving an old family tradition

fpbp

Gloin actual son of Groin

Arathorn sounds like someone saying Aragorn with a gay lisp.

You're skipping like 25 generations. The movies simplify things alot and leave out any mention of the kings of Arnor and Gondor after Isildur dies.
