Did anyone see ROTK with a "newbie"?" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Quite a few of my friends are newbies...I remember when we came out of TT, and my newbie friend was going on about Aragorn's 'death' and I had to patiently explain to her that of course it was impossible for Aragorn to die, since the title of the 3rd book was 'Return of the King'.

Her response to that was 'Aragorn's a king??'

There wasn't much I could do but shake my head sadly at the lack of Tolkien knowledge and wander off.

The 3rd time I went to see RotK, I was with my friend and her sister...I had the joy of sitting next to her sister, who kept asking questions, partly because she came in late. It didn't really bother me though, I found it quite amusing.
