Aragorn

[The Phony Pope]

I think that the reason why people in Lord of the Rings don't like the way Aragorn looks is because of his rugged and sinister appearence, rather than physical attractivness, which for Aragorn I'd say is average. What do you people think?

I brought up this topic because I was having an argument with someone about this earlier today

[Ciryaher]

Do you mean, "Does Aragorn look attractive in the books?" or "Does Aragorn look attractive in the Movies?" or "How should Aragorn look?"

[The Phony Pope]

Hoe does he look in the books from the description they give, and how you picture him (since the description leaves much to the imagination)

[WARDNINE]

I think that's always how I pictured him.
Strong, rugged, dirty, manly.
I am more than content with Mortensen's performance. Gosh, there are times (like the Black Rider fiasco the Hobbits have gotten themselves into) where I want to stand up and shout "Heck yeah! Let the slaying commence! Bring the pain, baby!" Of course, I'm very odd.

[Kementari]

Averge? Average??? Hes more than average... :D
LOL, WARDNINE

[Ciryaher]

I say that he would be 'attractive' because he had a kingly air about him, and the likeness of the Numenoreans. I should say that he is more than your average man.

[Kementari]

Yes theres something about Numenorean Kings...

*grins*

Quite a handsome lot, I should say ;)

Well Arwen wouldn't marry a short dumpy man would she? Tall and regal was Mr. Aragorn. Stern in face but proud and wise and I should imagine very attractive to the weaker female sex.

*ducks from feminist insults*:D

I think, from the book, that Aragorn was of average appearence. The comment from Frodo at the Prancing Pony comes to mind -

"I think one of his spies would - well, seem fairer and feel fouler,"

And also the verse for Aragorn -

"All that is gold does not glitter,"

I don't think he was ugly, because of Arwen's interest in him. I just don't think that he was drop dead handsome either.

I think that Aragorn is attractive. It may not be apparant at a glance but there is an air aboout him that makes attractve. Also I believe his good looks are hidden by the years he spent in the wild roaming the lands.

[Rosie Cotton]

When reading I always picture Aragorn as good looking, but I think that going srictly by what the book says he would only be average looking.

[Silme]

I've always thought that Aragorn is attractive, but that has more to do with the overall image that I have, than what he actually looks like.... He sounds like a MAN, and I definitely like men and not pretty boys. But mind you, I think he's quite good-looking as well... ;)

[WARDNINE]

Can I get an "Amen" from the congregation??!
Wooooooooooo Men!

[Arathin]

If you would like to hear my say: I think that Aragorn only looked "foul" because of his years in the Wilderness. I also think the Arwen didn't marry him for his looks. Hello, she married him for love! Neway. I think that Aragorn had an attractive air about him. Again the air of a king and of the Numenoreans, but I think that this air was only perceptable to those who could see it and that he wanted to see it. I personally think that not truely describing Aragorn's physical appearance was a great idea because it let the imagination fly. ~~I would also like to add that Mortensen put on an unsurpassable roll in that part. I think Aragorn is one of the more difficult people to play.~~

[Silme]

AMEN!!!!!! :D

[Valar]

I do not think that he is Necessarily good looking as how we would deem normal people good looking. But because of his kingly apperance, he would have a certain air about him.
Thats my oppinion anyway

[Moonbeams]

I never imagined Aragorn to be beautiful or gorgeouse. I always imagined him to look stren and masculine, strong and tough. And that's why I think he was beautiful. Not your Brad Pitt type of beauty, but still attractive.

[Nimawae's hope]

It is my personal opinion that Aragorn was indeed attractive. However, he had a dissheveled and almost sinister appearance, because he was outside almost every night(regardless of weather) and because of the hard life he had lived. It gave him a grim appearance. Despite his appearance, I still considered Aragorn attractive, perhaps, as others have suggested, because of his kingly bearing.
