why did Boromir try and steal the ring from Frodo?

He hoped it would grant him the power to defend his kingdom.

why didn't Frodo just put the ring in his ass?

because the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword

The ring was a piece of shit that made the weak willed desire it.

to advance the plot

Because he knew that Frodo was a retarded little fag who would fuck everything up unless he accidentally knocked the ring into a fire while fighting some zombie looking hobgoblin to get his finger back.

Boromir and Sam were the only real heroes in this ass backwards 47 hours long shit show of a story

Because sam would have got his cock stuck in it.

Gondor was the sole reason the armies of Mordor weren't steamrolling the entirety of Middle Earth and had been fighting a losing battle to hold them off for decades. Osgiliath was CONSTANTLY under attack. Elves and Dwarves refused to help them for whatever reason, and Boromir believed that the Ring could be used against Sauron to save Gondor.

Denethor is actually a pretty sympathetic character in the books, he's a tired old man who makes bad decisions because he's exhausted and just has absolutely no hope left after being abandoned by the rest of Middle Earth. In the movies he's just a crazy mean old man who wants to burn minas tirith to the ground because he doesn't want to be upstaged by Aragorn and Gandalf

He knew he was played by Sean Bean, so he went all in.

He wasn't strong like his brother Faramir, who fought the ring's temptation and proved his worth as a captain of Gondor

The ring represents temptation and sin, the greater power and greed someone possesses the more they are drawn to it.
Gandalf didn't want the ring because he's extremely powerful if he wants to be and he could have done great destruction with it.

literally reddit the thread

Frodo had previously changed the fuse on an explosive from the agreed upon 6 minutes to 3 minutes.

Reminder: The One Ring was a visual metaphor for Frodo's anal virginity

You've shown your quality sir, the very highest.

So both Sam and Gollum took it? And he didn't have one before Gandalf gave it to him? Bilbo stole Frodo's anal virginity from Gollum? The more I think about it, the worst it gets.
