Its so strange that this is another media featuring smeagol, recently we had that weird gollum game that flopped hard. I get that the character has a tragic backstory but come on there are far more interesting characters in the setting. Unless gollum reminds them of themselves so they feel he needs to be featured more?

He was a victim of the Ring, that's it. The Ring was just part of Sauron's larger evil, which victimized a lot of people.
And the murder of his cousin probably wasn't all the Ring's doing. The thing just finds whatever foothold in the soul that it can.
