But I don't think it was explained- who are all of these guys and how did they know to come? Gimli doesn't know legolas or boromir etc. Are they all elrond's friends? They're not kings or anything right?

Etherealfare 09/09/17 7:13:13 PM #7:	Start the movie over. Watch the scene where they throw the ring in the fireplace and Gandalf for the first time realizes what it is. Frodo: "Here, take it." Gandalf: "Oh no. It would corrupt me. And with my powers dare me to do horrible things." Frodo: "What should we do?" Gandalf: "Ride to the Prancing Pony. I will arrange for a meeting there with a Ranger. Tell nobody about the ring. Stay on the roads." Frodo: "What about you?" Gandalf: "I must ride to summon the great kingdoms of Man to deliberate on this advent of matters. We will meet at Rivendell. The Ranger will escort you there. You will be safe with him." awakes in Rivendell and Gandalf has already summoned the kingdoms, and they have sent their representatives --- No time to freeze undercovers ease up in Grand Prix, and seize packages and pocket the currency - GZA <cite>Etherealfare posted [p:886318278] in Re watchin...

So they're Gandalf's friends? Like why these specific guys? Are they all princes from the different kingdoms? That's a close enough way to look at it. They're not ALL princes, per se, but for example Boromir is indeed the son of the King. But the king only sends Boromir because the king wants him to take the ring and steal it back to their kingdom (revealed in 3rd movie). Otherwise it's implied the king would've just sent some random scrub as he didn't GAF about their bullshit quest to save shit - he just wanted the ring's power. --- No time to freeze undercovers ease up in Grand Prix, and seize packages and pocket the currency - GZA <cite>Etherealfare posted [p:886318377] in Re watchin...
