Perhaps Stallone could play a part in The Hobbit as Bard?

But Rocky didn't have a bow that was John Rambo, so he would be known as Bard the Ram-BowMan.

Rocky Balboa
Well, the 6th film has finally come out. Rocky Balboa proved he was still the people's hero to this modern day. Do you think we will say this for the likes of Frodo & Aragorn in 20 years time?

LotR (the book) has been around for over half a century and is going stronger than ever. I sincerely doubt that any action film hero of our time will still be that popular in 50 years. Actually, does he even have that size of a fan base today? I doubt it.

I don't really understand why we need to draw parallels between two obviously different genres of story.
Rocky is human and people, in general, can relate to him. Aragorn is not. We are not meant to relate to him. Rocky is frosting, LotR is cake. Two different types of heroes, both equally fulfilling a need that the people felt at the time.

Why do we need to relate Santa Claus with christmas, when the real reason for celebrating lies with Christ? People make comparisons because they want to, regardless of whether it is not to the liking to his Lordship. |
