    Frodo is creepier than the wraiths, somehow.. I like the fire though, and the wraith in the back!

    Perhaps that is what Frodo looks like from the point of view of the wraiths?

    Frodo’s really scary-looking, but I like it, except for Frodo’s weird cloak thing. That’s just weird. Frodo’s sword should be glowing red, not blue because it’s not Sting, it’s just his barrow-blade. The wraiths ARE epic. And that Morgul-blade is the best I’ve ever seen.
