i could've sworn frodo was 33
Bilbo was 111, and Frodo was 33 during the birthday party when Bilbo left the Shire.
Only 17 years later, when he's 50, does Frodo go off on the Quest to destroy the ring.
I'm making my way through the books right now and I haven't seen the films in ages, but if I recall correctly it's much less clear in those that there was a time skip. Which yea if I were adapting a book I'd also skip the bit where JRRT says "and then nothing of importance happened for 17 years, apart from the fact Gandalf was travelling to do research about the ring and kinda went missing recently".
That's all very fascinating, and thank you for clarifying that for everything.
But I need you to shut your lying mouth with that 17 years nonsense. I am 33. I am in way 17 years from 50 years old. Shut up. Shut up and stop talking your heinous lies.
Random thought that I, a fellow 33'er, had yesterday - Sputnik was launched in 1957, 34 years before I was, I'm almost as old as the space age was when I was born
Enjoy!
You were launched into space?
First baby in space yeah, it was a post-Soviet prestige thing
