I thought the whole point is because they had no power or ambition, they were much less likely to be corrupted by the ring.
Also didn't he just recruit Frodo? Sam was only there cause he overhead the plan, and Pip & Merry only so happened to bump into them along the way while stealing corn.
In the books, they all could tell something was up with Frodo and refused to let him go alone. In fact, Sam was actually dropping plenty of eaves, dispite his claims to the contrary in the movies, and they puzzled it all out before Frodo even left Bag End. (Fatty Bolger, another co-conspirator who did not make a movie appearance, decided to stay behind to keep up appearances so that the mission stayed a secret as long as possible. He bought them precious time when the Nazgûl were in pursuit, and later played a role in the resistance against Saruman prior to the Scouring of the Shire.)
We've all been there, Gandalf.
Well have you ever recruited anybody other than weirdos for an adventure? Yeah those were totally normal, well adjusted people that wanted to do an overnight building a log cabin on the side of a ski resort to smoke weed in during the winter.
Well yes, we could send Glorfindel who has already fought a Balrog before. But, hear me out, what about this pudgy gardener instead?
On one hand we have a guy that is so awesome our version of god resurrected him out of respect, on the other hand we have a guy who blows a pretty nice smoke ring.
As a pudgy gardener, I resemble that remark.
I only wish we all did...
I rewatched the movie the other day and had this thought. Gandolfini was just stoned out of his ass for the first part of the movies...
He should check out what Merlin did last time he overindulged, common wizard mistake
