Who's your favorite Bad Guy?

[Ragnarok]

Melkor, he was one mutha truckin acehole! I mean c'mon, 'First Dark Lord', Valar, has one of every aspect of Iluvatar's thoughts! Cant go wrong with that!

[chrome_rocknave]

Hmmm.....interesting thread. Personally, I've always liked the good guys, but if I must choose.....I suppose my favorite bad guy would be the Nazgul. Technically thats more than one bad guy but you get the picture :D

[FJURI1]

Not a guy but a tough daughter of a gun: Shelob. She is mean, nasty and hungry and I would not want to meet her in a back alley somewhere!!

[SarumansTreason]

Although to me, he is a good guy, but to some that follow the grey fool, he may appear bad, Saruman is my favourite "bad guy. However, as it turned out, he turned the Shire into a money making organization, the Four hobbits were just too dull and ignorant to want it! POWER!

[Kit Baggins]

Gollum rocks!!!!! :D :D :D

~Kit :P

[Courtney]

I like Smaug. I liked that part in the hobbit.

[Rian]

The one guy I love to hate is Wormtongue.

[Reoko]

My favorite bad guy is well GOLUM!!!!!!!!!!! he is sssssooooo cool

[Melian]

Sauron,the one and only,legal master of the ring and starter of this story!

[Curufinwe]

MothGog, Lord Of Balrog's

[Ragnarok]

Mothgog? You must mean Gothmog, hehe

[Curufinwe]

I always get mixed up with those two letters.

[nyriel]

The worst for me is Bill Ferny, he´s really disgusting!
But Melkor, Morgoth, Sauron...oh, I like them all, eheheh...

[Talierin]

You still have it wrong, Curufinwe.:D GothMog, not GothGog.

My favorite baddie...hmm......Smaug, I guess.

[Evenstar]

Well I'd say Gollum, but I don't really think he's bad. So in that case- the Nazgul.

[Gothmog]

Curufinwe, I thank you for your vote even with the Typo's.:D ;)

And my favorite bad guy is, well, Myself.:p

[gaffer]

ugluk. he's a bad mothatrucka

[Bucky]

I'd have to go with the Lord of the Nazgul.

As he rides over the bodies in front of the broken gate of Minas Tirith & challanges Gandalf.
Or, when he decides to dispatch Dernhelm & gets a surprise.....

[Merry]

I like Melkor! He was the original sinner and caused a lot of grief in the beginning of time.

[henzo33]

Although Smaug is pretty badass and you cannot deny the pure unadulterated evil of Sauron, I would have to go with those Dumd old trolls from the Hobbit. They were great. It was like they were belly-up in a pub somewhere.

[Moonbeams]

If I have to choose just one, than Lord of the Nazgul. Tall, dark and evil, just the bad guy for me!

[YayGollum]

Umm, let me think for just a minute...maybe Gollum.:D Smaug was always cool and I thought he shouldn't have died and just lived in piece under his mountain. But then I also liked the dwarves and I didn't want them to die...oh well.

[Curufinwe]

I guess my new enemy is the letters g and m.
GothMog. there we go.

[Branwen]

Golum,Golum and once again Golum!!!!:D

[Curufinwe]

Why was he named Gollum ?

[Merry]

Because of the deep throated gulping noise he made which sounded like Gollum. Kind of a nick name!!

[Kementari]

Gollum is awesome.
Carcharoth is pretty mean too

[Samwise]

Our favorite bad guy is Gollum, yessss my Precioussss. Hesssss the besssst, my precious, thoses Bagginsessss, alwayses making trouble for for Smeagol. Now wheres those fishessss go, my Preciousssss. Slipped through our handsessss they did.

(if anyone's thinking Gollum isn't that bad, remember he drank the blood of the babies of the men of Mirkwood. He also tried to kill Frodo and Sam. He just put on a face of innocence so he could lead Frodo and Sam to Shelob.)

[menchu]

Fave bad boy at the forum or in the books?? :D :D :D
My answers may vary! Heh-heh!

I suppose YayGollum has hypnotized and convinced many of us... my vote's for Gollum! (hey, now don't think I'll forgive your anti-Sam behaviour, huh? :p )

[Talierin]

Hurray! He got it!!!:D

[Dain Ironfoot]

Gothmog all the way.......

[Flame of Utumno]

Ungoliant is my favourite Villain. Morgoth could not accomplish the Darkening of Valinor without her nor the theft of the silmarils alone. As well as this, she almost killed Morgoth until he was rescued by his balrogs.

[YayGollum]

Yay everyone who likes Gollum best! This is a bad guy thread and I can hate Sam as much as I want here!:D I also like Ungoliant, but just because I like to say the name.

[Eonwe]

ok i admit it, I (dis-)liked Sauron best. When he was up on the top of his iron temple to Melkor at Numenor, defying the lightning!

[My_Precious]

My favorite bad character would be Gollum! And I also like Ugluk, because he is kinda 'good' bad guy.
P.S. Yeah, BTW, I'm new here!

[Alcathor]

i guess the nazgul have always been the quitecential evil type bad guys in my mind.

You know just enough about them to fear them, yet there's always an air of mystery hanging about them.

[YayGollum]

Yay someone else with a direct way of showing they like Gollum in their name and sig! Come to the Gollum Fan Club!

[Silme]

Oh, definitely the Lord of the Nazgul... That scene at the gate of Minas Tirith - Whhoaa!! And Shelob is pretty mean too...

[Gnashar_the_orc]

Let's face it, the everlasting buddies of the story were, are and will be the Orcs!

[Snaga]

What about Turin Turambar's black sword Mormegil? Strange that a sword could be a bad guy - but this one talks to him just before he commits suicide.

Its one evil weapon - always great in battle but it causes him to kill his best friend Bereg, and is glad of the chance to kill him. Nasty.

(Try reading this one in Silmarillion and/or Unfinished Tales - its a top story).

[dgoof911]

Melkor was the first Dark Lord and the best one too. I love all the Dark Lords. I actually like evil more than good. He he he!

[Tharkun]

Mine would have to be Smaug and Sauron, I mean come on! there the only none haf-wits of the entire fantasy

[Dain Ironfoot]

smaug is cool too..

[Samwise]

I've started a poll and I want to know what was your favorite book in the trilogy. Click
here.http://www.thetolkienforum.com/show...=&threadid=3203

[Tao]

Hm...I'm gonna have to go with Gollum (of course) or maybe 'The Mountain Troll' (heh :D) that attacks the company in Moria. Maybe The Lidless eye also.

[GollumtheGreat]

Gollum...his inner tumroil and treachery over the Ring is just fascinating reading. :)

[Samwise]

My first poll didn't work out (as you might've found out) I want to know what was your favorite book in the LOTR trilogy. here's the address:http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3259

[jks13]

Mine was sarauman (that how you spell it?:confused:)

[Heruhim]

As tradition goes, it's ok to hat gollum, the nazgul and sauron, but for me the really depicable one has to be wormtail. To think he wanted to lay his flabby hands on Éowyn makes me red with rage...

[Turgon]

My favourite bad guy? That would be Gollum.
Least favourite? That whey-faced traitor Maeglin - curse his shattered bones!

[Minas]

Here is a list of the Balrog's tricks.

Number 1 weapon. His whip.
Number 2 weapon. A sword.
Number 3 weapon. The fear he strikes in adversary's hearts. (Check out Legolas who drops his bow yet shots down one of those Nazgul wimps.)

Number 4 weapon. Strong enough majic to set Gandalf on his arse.
Number 5 weapon. Streaming fire and optionally wings.

That is one mean mother of a bad guy.

[LadyGaladriel]

Have to be Gollum and The Nazgul
Because they are precioussssss

[Eomer Dinmention]

yes

Lord Of The Nazgul is my favourite bad guy

[Mormegil]

The Balrog of Moria is definately the best Badguy.

[Camille]

fav bad guy??? mmm tough question maybe Saruman, because he was great one upon a time.... I feel he is a waste of power and wisdom.

[Khamul]

I have always liked the Nazgul. But.....then again that is me. (Especially Khamul and the Witch King)

[Lady_of_Gondor]

As far as who I love to hate: Saruman all the way. As far as who is the scariest: the balrog in Moria, and Shelob. As far as who is the most menacing bad guy: Sauron and Melkor! There you have it. However, I must tell you all that I HATE Saruman! The fact that I hated him so much is what kept me so interested in the story. Saruman all the way baby!!!!

[Tarien]

With you, Turgon. It was he who aided in Gondolin's destruction, which could not have been acomplished without him. And I am a registered Gondolin-nut. No, really.

[Chymaera]

Gorbag and Shagrat

The Orc Captains who found Frodo at Cirith Ungol.

Not the most evil but my favorite. Their conversation was most illuminating, some of Tolkein's best dialogue.

[Hanne]

Maybe Smaug but he not mean enough for me.I choose the Witchking ,he is really evil!!!

[Rangerdave]

Can you believe I actually checked to see if a member had this name so as not to insult him/her?

My favorite bad guy, as in the character I would most like to see get the snot knocked out of him is Mim the Petty Dwarf.
He's not so much of a villian, but he is certainly a great big pain in the @)*&% and causes all sorts of trouble.
Not ever the Hobbiton Miller (who's name I can't remember right now) that Sam hates so much is as big of a weenie as Mim.

plus with all the really cool dwarves out there, this guy is a complete discredit to his stunted race.

RD

[Elias]

I personally don't like the bad guys at all! They're too EVIL!:mad:

[Ice Man]

The Ringwraiths.
They are evil, twisted, non-living-nor-dead forms of tormented existence.

What else could you want in a Bad Guy?

[shadowfax_g]

If you count Gollum as a bad guy, he is my favourite. I also like Saruman.
In short, I like independent persons who do not belong to Sauron or other mighty bad guys.

[ILLOTRTM]

Gollum rocks!!!!!:D :D :D
Can't beat that logic
The one guy I love to hate is Wormtongue.
Oooooohh, I like that, yeah.
I'd go with Gollum or Wormtongue for the above reasons.

[wonko]

i think the best bad guy is melkor because he was the first bad guy, the most powerful bad guy, and the one with the coolest name :)

[Theoden]

Grima Wormtongue... worst of the baddies... I hated him... I was glad he killed Souruman, and I was glad he got killed by Hobbits. But it could have been any other place but Bag End.

[Bilbo Baggins57]

My favorite? Saruman. I thought his conflict w/ Gandalf was interesting throughout The Fellowship & the first part of TTT. The one I couldn't stand was Wormtongue. He just got on my nerves. I didn't like how he betrayed & took advantage of King Theoden. Wormtongue eyeing Eowyn...Eww!!!

[Gandalf_White]

I don't have a favorite bad guy. They all freaked me out and they were to evil and scary. But I suppose if I had to chose someone it would be Sauron. After all he is the baddest bad guy.

[Camille]

I have always liked them... even in non tolkien Stories: DRAGONS!!!! they are amazing :D

[Elu Thingol]

A bad guy worse than Shelob is Ungoliant the spider which drank the blood of the trees of Valar and in so doing poisened them and killed them. That gives me the chills!

[Ecthelion]

Gollum is by far the coolest bad guy. I like him because he talks to himself and he talks funny. HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

[YayGollum]

Argh! I haven't paid too much attention to this for a while. Mim and Ungliant are misunderstood! And yeah, Yay Gollum. :rolleyes:

[Khamul]

I got to agree with RD. I hate, and I mean hate Mim. He just ****ed me off when I was reading the Sil. In BOLT 2 Mim also is in the service of Glaurung.

[Bombadillo]

melkor/morgoth is the ultimate and most fantastic bad guy, i'm still wondering what would have happened if he had shown up in the last battle in lotr... seems like quite a hell!!! I love to hate him, but how can a foolish high elven attack and wound a valar???

[YayGollum]

How can you hate Mim? He's just looking out for himself!

[Ingo]

im surprised the noone has mentions the uruk hai. orks are cool and like the say in texas the biger the better

[HelplessModAddi]

I don't know if this counts as a "bad guy," but my favorite antagonistic character is Feanor. I mean, greatest of the Eldar, mightiest in works of hand and mind, forger of the Silmarilli and Palantiri, and he gets corrupted and decieved by Melkor, the very person he loves to hate.
:mad: :mad: :mad: Think about how his dead body spontaneously combusted.

[Aranaug]

Let's see:
Melkor: The original Dark Lord and the one who created almost all the evil races/creatures of ME.
Sauron: The second Dark Lord who also lasted the longest of the bad guys.
Saruman: The wise one who fell from the grace of the Secret Fire.
Orcs: The evil race that terrorized elves, men, and dwarves for many ages.
Balrogs: The second most powerful servants of Melkor. The slayers of elves, dwarves, men, and almost Gandalf.

Yes there are others too, but I'm getting tired of listing out bad guys.
My favorite would have to be the One Ring. Something so small that causes more trouble than anyother physical object, possibly short of Grond.
If that doesn't count, I'd go with a Balrog.

[Melkor]

And the Academy Award for all-time best villain goes to :
:cool: MELKOR MORGOTH BAUGLIR Master of the fates of Arda
for his role as Mr Bad Guy Supreme in Tolkien's "The Silmarillion"

[Smokey]

Gollum. He was interesting.
I also liked the orc Pippen and Merry tricked into thinking they had the ring.

[Lhunithiliel]

For me (the order does not say which is meaner!)
1) The Dragon Glaurung
2) Lurtz

[Gandalf_White]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: *GW runs away to hide* That is one scary pic, Lhunithiliel.

(NOTE: I get scared very easily)

[arisen pheonix]

witch king


yep most definately

[Courtney]

Sigh... I wish Tolkien would have written more about the witch realm af Angmar... I always wanted to know more about it...

[Lady Legolas]

I have a couple bad guys that were my favorite.I would have to say Gollum. Gollum was a very cool character. I also liked Smaug.

[Courtney]

Hey are you part of the Gollum Fan Club???

[Nóm]

Saruman...no question about it.

[Lady Legolas]

no I'm not a part of the Gollum fan club.

[Dwarf Lord]

My fav. bad guy would have to be Old Man Willow. He's so cool. He sits by the water catching young, and inocent people.


DWARF LORD

[Spartan117]

I would have to say either Smaug, or Sauron.
(But Old Man Willow is way up on the list)

[Ringwraith VIII]

1.Saruman
2.Sauron

[FarahSlax]

The Mouth of Sauron, because he was so dedicated to his service that he couldn't even remember his name! Now there's a character to put in a Dilbert cartoon!

[Galadhwen]

0: The Ring (does it count?)
1: Gollum
2: Saruman
3: Morgorth

5: Glaurung

[Eliot]

I would have to say that Melkor is my favorite one.
He had some pretty cool armies.

[Courtney]

Yeah, he was like the Godfather of all bad guys...

[Diamond Took]

Gollum.
If he stands for bad.
:p

[Ponte]

Mim.

[Galadhwen]

Why Mim?:confused:

[Ponte]

I don't know, I just like that character.

[In Flames]

Ah..theres so many of them. But the Nazgul is one of my favourites.
And the Balrogs, very cool creatures:) The Uruk-Hai also makes my list. And I can't leave out Gollum:D

[Theoden]

GOLLUM IS MY FAVORITE BADDIE!!!!


LOVE UM TO DEATH!!!!

-me

[gate7ole]

Not the Nazgul or Gollum. They were not evil from the beginning. They were just corrupted. The same goes even for Sauron.
THE evil guy (so evil that you start to like him because he caused all those heroisms from the part of the elves) is Morgoth

[Theoden]

If you fallow that reasoning, then Morgoth was not bad to start off with. He only began to be corrupted when he desired to compose his own song as opposed to singing in harmony with Iluvitar.

So if we were to choose a baddie who was always bad... Belrogs and Dragons. Because Morgoth contrived them in the depth and darness of Angbad so they never had a chance at being good. So out of those two, I would have to say Dragons.

But Gollum is still my favorite, ho yessssssss, preciousssssessss.:p

-me

[Galadhwen]

Weren't the Ballrogs, Maiar curupted by Melkor and so turned bad not bad from da start.
Oh yea, what was wrong with Aule? All those who served under him seemed to go bad... Sauron, Saruman...:rolleyes:

[Gildor the Elf]

Tie: The Witch King and Saruman.

[FarahSlax]

Morgoth's only crime was that he was an original thinker: "gee, I think I'll try my own hand at writing a song". Then everyone crucifies him for it!

[Lady Arwen]

The Ringwraith...I don't really consider Gollum a 'bad guy'.

[YayGollum]

Yay for all the people who's favorite bad guy is Gollum! even though he was the hero :D Also, poor Melkor for getting a bad reputation. I don't have the book with me, but there's this one sentence that makes me feel sorry for him. Something about why he went off to make his part of that big, crazy, world-creating song different from the rest. It was because he was alone. If only one of the other Ainur was like, "'Sup, dude? Let's sing about a giant turtle named Fastitocalon!" then he wouldn't have turned out so bad. oh well. *sniff*
