I don't think the fandom talks enough about how traumatizing the mines of Moria must've been for the hobbits.
And I'm not referring to Gandalf's death (this is actually quite discussed), that's "oh no, they've killed grandpa".
I'm talking about the members of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield they've found dead. The hobbits grew up listening to the tales of their adventure and their extraordinary deeds.
That's "fuck they've killed the Avengers".
Frodo’s reaction to seeing Balin’s tomb, “How am I going to tell Bilbo?”
