Frodo had the ring for 17 years? And he and Sam didn't age at all during that?

If your only source is the movies, one of the annoying gripes about them is they have this deceptive editing that makes it seem like Frodo left the Shire within a relatively short timespan after the birthday party.

Frodo got the ring on the 22nd of September of 3001. He leaves Bag End on the 23rd of September...of 3018.

Someone should edit the movie to have a transparency of a calendar having its pages blown in the wind until it lands on 3018.

Yes, I have always from the first time I saw the movies thought that's what they needed. A five second clip of that and nothing else about the movie has to change!

Hear me out, SpongeBob style voice over with "17 years later"
