Sure, but...

The story we know was written by him. I wonder what the trolls would say, or the dead dragon, or the town that his actions helped destroy?

Is he a hero, or, just the guy who wrote it all down?

And just when something really important happens, he throws a powerful weapon(the one right) at his nephew and goes away to retire!

A life lead with riches (gold from the trolls), a ring granting him extremely long life and health, and yup.. off he goes, first sign of real trouble.

Poor Bilbo indeed!
