They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, and you can take them out at any time in the story’s plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the character suddenly disappears, with the rest of the plot being affected accordingly. People will notice this happening. The character is not under any sort of control by you once you have taken them out of the story, although they will appear next to you to start with.
You can’t return them to the book, taking them out is permanent.
Oh. Well, still Boromir before the arrows. At that point he’s basically written out of the story anyway.
I can find him work petitioning the Tolkien estate to include firearms in their final battle, which they will likely refuse because they are dicks. I guess he could go on celebrity panel shows, but I don’t think he’d be that funny.
Pulling him out of the book really might do more harm than good. He died with courage. Now he just mysteriously vanished when he was needed the most. Probably the King of Rohan would be suspicious on his son’s disappearance, and would reject any plea for aid fr the Fellowship. Might doom the story.
I am terribly sorry to brung this up, but you’ve now suggested twice that Boromir is connected to the king of Rohan which isn’t the case. I believe you mean to say Steward of Gondor because Gondor has no king and Gondor needs no king.
goddammit I knew that too
