Who is your favorite in the Fellowship and why?

[Tulkas]

I like Gandalf simply because he's the smartest and most powerful. He also fought the balrog so the rest of the fellowship could get away.

Various threads asking this same question have been merged into one.

Gothmog

[Gothmog]

I voted for Sam, I think that there is more to that one than shows on the first reading. He was also the most tenacious of the Fellowship and the one that took the darkest road.

And what's so good about Gandalf?? Going around beating up on poor defenceless Balrogs who are just minding their own buisness!!!

:p

[Dengen-Goroth]

Behold, for I voted for gandalf. I don't really like Frodo, but, oh no. Legolas and Gimli! Should have voted for one of them. Oh well.

[Telchar]

To bad you can't vote on two.. I'd choosen Legolas and Gimli..

[Dengen-Goroth]

Yeah, as would I. I am just quite angered that more wasn't said of them during the last book in LoTR.

[Telchar]

There should be a chapter about them! :) And I'd like to know more what happened to them after the war of the ring.

[Chippy]

same....for i picked legolas...it seems that they r the most popular.....in most books and movies, it is normally the main charator or the evil one..but i guess there r alot of people to choose from..

[Aerin]

I had a hard time choosing between Gimli, Legolas, Merry, and Pippin. I like all four of those characters, not only what kind of fighting style they had, but their personality quirks. Merry and Pippin, through the darkest time in their lives, were still able to crack a joke and get a smile. Legolas and Gimli, they were complete opposites, yet they became the best of friends.
It's funny, my literature teacher is having the class read To Kill a Mockingbird , and a couple of girls in the class have gotten in trouble for reading ahead! My teacher is absolutely hooked on "literary themes"; setting, irony, characters, etc. If you have ever read Of Mice and Men , then you will understand my difficulty in finding irony in that book. I don't even want to bring up the subject of LOTR with her, for fear that she would get mad at me for reading the whole book at one time!

[Beorn]

Aerin, me too...We haven't gotten to To Kill a Mockingbird yet, but we will. We have four projects at once in her class, we are reading more than one book at a time, and we never discuss what we like or dislike, but the settings, etc...

[Greymantle]

Good book. I've read it three times against my will. I can be forced to read things and still enjoy them.... I don't usually have to time to read anything other than fantasy voluntarily these days!

Hell, I like the whole Company. Legolas has to get my vote, though, I always love Elves the best.

[Chippy]

i have watched the movie (To Kill a Mockingbird)..it is ok..

[tookish-girl]

Pippin is the best character, I think, he's very funny and although puts the Fellowship at severe risk in Moria he still is really clever in setting the trail for Aragorn and the others to find him and Merry and besides he's just cool!

[Kraas]

I vote for Sam. I mean, his importance is second only to Gandalf, and he took the hardest way possible with Frodo, and kept Frodo's spirits up throughout the journey, until they reached Orodruin. And he gets the least respect of all! They didn't even deign to mention his name in the Silmarillion. They told of Frodo, but if Frodo had his way, he would have taken the Ring for himself.

[Berlog]

Gimli is one character that I particularly like. He is harsh, stern and most of all selflessly loyal.

[Tar-Ancalime]

His loyalty to mister frodo amazed truly he was the best.

[Stormcrow]

<------Newbie to these forums






I voted for Gandalf, simply because i think he's the best charachter in the Fellowship. No particular reason.

[Talierin]

Welcome!:D

I voted for Pippin, because he's funny.

[Beorn]

Welcome

[Kementari]

Welcome! :)

Aragorn rules!!!

[Stormcrow]

I am severly annoyed. I was just downloading the 17.8Mb version of the LOTR theatre trailer, on a 56k modem. It got to 99%, and then it froze. I Ctrl-Alt-Deleted, and it had [Not Responding]. An hour and a half wasted.





AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Dengen-Goroth]

I know how it feels. thta is why I don't bother to download anything for the movie. i haven't even seen one trailer. So that when i see it i will be surprised by every moment. Welcome.

[Rosie Cotton]

I feel for you, my computer does things like that all the time too. Welcome to the forum Stormcrow! :D

[Lantarion]

Ooh, unlucky blast there, Stormcrow! :o
Welcome to the forum, have a great time. :)

[Talierin]

Welcome!

[Tar-Ancalime]

Hi,Salve,welcome, and bonjur

[Telchar]

Welcome to the Tolkien Forum!

[Tar-Ancalime]

every one vote for sam!

[Chippy]

Dengen how can u survive not seeing the trailers...i would die without them..i just sit there watching them...i guess if i didn't see them and i couldn't, i wouldn't really die cause i wouldn't know what i would be missing

[LotR_Girl]

Legolas RULES!!!:D
I voted 4 Legolas coz he is...I dunno...he seems like normal person...hmmmm...Anyway,he's cute,but I just HATE Orlando Bloom (OK,he's got nice name at least...):rolleyes:

[Tar-Ancalime]

hmph, Orlando Bloom is soooo cute! I just got the lotr calender and his picture is my fave, how dare you LOTR_girl!

[TanisHalf-Elven]

Ahh, my first post here. I chose Gimili, because he seemed to provide a lot of humor to the Tale. I have also always liked dwarves, tricky and strong, what better combination? I do have to admit, though, that Sam was the bravest and most strong-willed of the Fellowship.

[Beorn]

Welcome :)

Tanis...wher'd you get that name?

[TanisHalf-Elven]

Nice to meet you Mike B. Actually, it was the name of one of the characters from a book I read in the Dragonlance series. I liked the name and decided to use it here.

[Dengen-Goroth]

welcome tanis, to our fine little boards.

[Rosie Cotton]

Welcome Tanis! :D

[Greymantle]

Welcome Tanis!

You wouldn't be a Baldur's Gate fan by any chance?

[Talierin]

Welcome! Your name reminds me of a name I read in another book. It was Taranis.

[TanisHalf-Elven]

Boy, I thank you all for your warm welcom. (In response to Greymantle) Actually I just got Baldur's Gate II Shadows of Amn recently and have played The original before. They are awesome games, so many choices and ways to play the same game. The games seem totally different when you play with a "good" or "evil" character. Sorry for rambling on about that and once again I would like to thank you all... Oh! Remember Vote 4 Gimili!

[Greymantle]

Oh, okay... I was wondering because I used to frequent a forum focused on those games, and there was someone there with the same SN as you. Just wondering.
Yes, they're tremendous games. Definately the best comp RGPs out there (IMO). I never could play evil characters, it's just not possible for me. I can't make myself do bad stuff...lol! The closest I got was CN, even though my char still did mostly good stuff-- at level 29 no one was telling me what to do! Hurry up and finish SoA so you can play ToB...they both rock.

[Lantarion]

Welcome Tanis!
You know, I've noticed that people always never use your full nickname here. Mine is pretty simple and short, but I'm still called Ponty! :D
Other examples are Tal, Kem, Grey, Dengen, Rose, Tar, etc.
Mike B., you have the simplest name on the board, and for that I congratulate you! :)

[Tar-Ancalime]

Welcome tanis,
tanis was a city in raiders of the lost arc were the lost arc was..it tink

[Chippy]

I thought i'd have the simplest name..Chippy...i know, it is really pathetic....well i couldn't think of a name ...and while a was deciding i was eating a packet of chips (fries)..and whala my name..i want to change it..but i can't think of a decent name...

[Lantarion]

It's not bad, nice 'n' perky. :p
And anyway, your nickname can be shortened to 'Chip'. What can 'Mike' be shortened to? :confused:

[Hein]

Definately Sam for his devotion towards Frodo. The most loyal one of all the characters.

[Tar-Ancalime]

go hein! hey chip is the name of my puppy!

[Talierin]

I like Chippy. It fits you, you're always cheerful!

[Tar-Ancalime]

i agree tal.

[Beorn]

Chippy is pretty good...No one calls me Mike that I know, except on here, and I don't quite know half of you half as well as I should...I'm usually just called by my last name...

[Tar-Ancalime]

you stole that from bilbo!

[Beorn]

Maybe I did...hehe...The Tolkien Troupe in my school (I just thought of that name just now...) includes me and two friends. Every other day my English teacher puts a quote up on the board. We're on a quest to put up all Tolkien quotes for the rest of the year...

[Tar-Ancalime]

sweet!

[Ancalagon]

little chippy chiperson from chipsville! I like Aragorn best, though they all taste nice!

[Kementari]

I hope this doesn't sound mean, but I have a parakeet named Chippy...........

[Tar-Ancalime]

Lol!

[Chippy]

don't worry ..i am not going to kill u ...

Tal ...am i always cheerful..???

[Telchar]

One question.. What is a parakeet?

[Chippy]

it is a bird ...colourful i think

[Telchar]

Ok. I though it might be a parrot or something like that..

[Iluvatar]

I voted for Aragorn because he's such a noble character. However, the wisdom and humour of Gandalf is impressive as well.

[Beorn]

A parakeet, Melopsittacus undulatus, is a small parrot that is mainly colored in yellow and green. They are from Australia, so Chippy, you might know them. They are often called Budgerigars or Budgies. Their name comes from an Aboriginal word that roughly tranlastes to "Good bird."

There are many mutations of Parakeets. There are white ones, blue ones, teal ones, green, and yellow ones. There are ones that have spots of each color all over them. There are some that have beautiful shades of blue. There are still some that are white, and have patches of blue on their back.

They're about 5 inches long from head to tail...

[Greymantle]

*Blinks*

[Beorn]

Oh, I figured everyone had gotten up and left the lecture hall...

[Tar-Ancalime]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
*tar makes loud snore*
oh who what,ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Talierin]

Yes, Chippy, you're always chipper!:D (pardon the pun!)\

Here's the parakeet question answered in layman's terms: A parakeet, or Bugie, is a small parrot. They come in Blue, Green, Yellow, or Whitish.

[Chippy]

correct mike and tal....

and mike did u look it up in the dictionary

[Zulithe]

I voted Sam, he's my favorite and has a lot of admirable qualities.

[Tar-Ancalime]

wahoo, you voted for dear old sam he's the best with all the gaffer quotes.

[Beorn]

I only looked up the Genus Species (Melopsittacus undulatus) part. Everything else I knew.... :)

[Telchar]

Now i know what it is.. The norwegian name is kind of like the latin; undulat..

[Lantarion]

It's undulaatti in Finnish..

[Zulithe]

So many votes for Legolas! I wonder why? Personally I didn't find him all that interesting

[grimawormtongue]

My favorite character was Boromir, because he seemed the most human. He fell to the power of the Ring but in the end gave his life to help destroy it. Also he was very noble but a bit arrogant.

[Tulkas]

Grima, I don't think you voted because I don't see any votes for Borimir.

[Talierin]

Originally posted by Zulithe

I don't see the attraction either...........

I voted for Pippin, because he's funny.

[Greymantle]

All of a sudden there was a whole lot of description of LEgolas on the plains of Rohan in TT...cool stuff. He also shot down the Nazgul and found the way off Caradhras...

[Mithrandir]

Hi Everyone. I am new and figured this was a good place to start. I voted Gandalf, because, well.... look @ my name.:D No but seriously, I would say he is the most mysterious and smartest, plus his magic just plain out kicks butt.

[Merry]

I have voted for Sam again as he showed courage and strength when others would have crumbled under the pressure. For a simple farmer boy, he showed great loyalty and honour and bravery.

Yes he was a bit annoying at times but who else would have challenged Faramir when his master was in danger, who else would have given half his rations away to Frodo to ensure that he was able to survive and complete the mission? Who else would have picked up a dying friend to carry him up the feet of mount doom and nurse him when ill?
All of the fellowship were brave but Sam certainly leads the way.

[Talierin]

Welcome Mithrandir!:D

[Merry]

Oops, I forgot.....Hi Mithrandir, welcome to the fun!

(Sorry)

:)

[Tar-Ancalime]

whats wrong with Sam! His loyalty was amazing i even wrote something aout him,

Sam was a hobbit
a merry old hobbit
in the shire
wild and free

But in the blink of an eye
off in a flash
he went south
to mordor anyway

Through Peril and ease
he made his way south
strong and loyal
and most devout

He kept a high head
in the midst of disaster
He kept a low profile
in his deeds done so well

His legend lives on
to the end
as Sam the fool
Sam the rash
Sam the invincible,
I think thats the one

His song can be heard
his tale can be told
his heart can be seen
in a land far away

thats way everyone should vote for sam!

one (or many more reasons to vote sam!

[Tulkas]

Hey! Nice poem.

[Sting99]

I LOVEEEEEEEEEE GANDALF! He is simply the best. Hes got the most power, he is wise, almost everyone(minus the dark forces of Sauron)like him. He has great fireworks, and sacrificed himself to the Balrog so the Fellowship could get away. And if this isn't enough, he has one of the greatest swords in all of the Fantasy Genra, Glamdring:The FoeHammer.

[Tar-Ancalime]

thanks tulkas, hey um sting99 were you on the old board.

[LOTRF]

I like Legolas and Gandalf. Pippin is my favorit hobbit he's so funny
I voted for Gandalf.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Poor sam!

no one likes him!

[Dengen-Goroth]

no no! no one likes Frodo or Merry! But I am glad to see Legolas up there. legolas was the best character, I have to say, though I know I have already said that.:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

actully boromir is the most hated. Legolas is really cool (also cute but...)

[The Mormegil]

Frodo recieves my vote. He sacrificed everything and is the true hero.

[Tulkas]

Yes, although Boromir takes the blame for making Frodo run, it wasn't his fault. No man (or anything for that matter) can resist the power of The Ring. I admire Boromir. He's a true patriot to Minas Tirith. But I voted for Gandalf.

[Tulkas]

I was just looking at how many people looked at this and it was around 750. Then I saw there were only 38 votes.

Come on people! Vote! Vote! Vote!

But seriously, if you can't decide who your favorite person is, just pick someone. The more votes the better.

[Beorn]

Everytime someone comes onto this thread to read what has been posted, one person view the page. Then, there are guests. That's why there are so few votes compared to views

[Tulkas]

So you mean if you were to click on this tread 20 times it would add 20 views to the list?

[Beorn]

Yup, I just clicked this thread 5 times....and lo and behold, 5 new views came up

[Mithrandir]

Now that's a view i have never heard before. Was Gollum sent by Iluvatar himself??? Something to think about.

[Lantarion]

Hmm, I don't think so. Iluvatar pretty much left the creation business to the Valar, in M-e at least. I think that perhaps Melkor might have somehow seeped some of his evil power through the Void, and thus influenced Gollum: but Gollum is only a hobbit, even if he is corrupted and grown strong on evil, so any magic of Melkor's would affect him quite drastically, and that may be why he fell. That is amazingly far-fetched, but it's a thought.. And so is Gollum being sent by Eru! And why would Iluvatar care about M-e, when even the Valar did not? He also probably wouldn't send something that is so easily corrupted; Gollum saw and 'heard' the Ring, so he killed Deagol. I find it hard to believe that the Creator would send a killer into Arda! :)

[Greymantle]

Well, once we get into Eru, we have to stop thinking in "legendary" terms and go straight to theological philosophy. From what I've seen of Tolkien's Isluvatar, I think we can safely say that he didn't just wake up one morning and say "Hmmm, I think I'll send Gollum to make some trouble then inadvertently save the world." As we are told in the first part of the published Sil (The Ainualoephidfhidshfa or whatever it's called-- sorry, don't have my book here!), that though the Ainur created Arda and the Valar formed it, there were parts of the great mystery that were Eru's alone. The Valar could not see all that was to come, or could they understand it. It's my opinion that they did not know the outcome of the war of the Ring. Therefore, presumably, these events were set down by Iluvatar to a greater or lesser extent before the beginning of time. If we think this way, then Gollum could well be considered Eru's instrument, but in a much lesser (or at least 'lesser' in appearance) way then we might orginally consider.

[Tulkas]

I see that nobody voted for Merry of Boromir. I'm disapointed. I voted for Gandalf, but I still considered them. I hope that others had them in close 2nds otherwise Merry really got the can.

[Thorin]

Are you thinking of predestination Grey?

Therefore, presumably, these events were set down by Iluvatar to a greater or lesser extent before the beginning of time.

I would think that just like Jehovah-God, that though all ends can be seen by the Creator, Eru made all beings with the power of choice and did not design them. All the events of LoTR occured due to the rebellion of Melkor. Melkor was free to choose, free to deceive Sauron and many other Maia and establish his kingdom on ME.
Sauron was responsible for all the rest.

I think all of LoTR points and re-emphasises choice and the freedom to choose it. Frodo chose to carry the ring, Galadriel and Gandalf chose not to wield it..Boromir nearly messed it up by trying to take the ring by force...and Gollum's lust and choice to follow the fellowship set him up to try to take the ring by force and fall into the Cracks of Doom.

I don't think it was all some sort of pre-Arda design by Eru.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Those are all really good points Thorin. Yeah kinda like it.

[Tulkas]

Yea I don't think that the whole thing was guided by a powerful source. Illuvatar kind of left most issuses of the wourld to the Valar. The only time I can remember that Illuvatar interfered with the world was when he destroyed Numenor.

[Tulkas]

Now that I think of it LEGOLAS23 there may be some predestination. One may think at first by reading those certain quotes. But I think that has something to do with Gandalf's foresight. But now we get into the question of fate. That however does not have anything to do with LOTR. As usual, I could go on for hours without end. However, I feel it is best to stay on the subject of LOTR and to not go on with endless philosiphy.


I see what you mean, LEGOLAS23, when you ssay you think too much. I'm beginning to catch your disease!

[Gilraen]

Erm, I was the only one who voted for Boromir?

I know that he tried to take the ring from its bearer and consistently failed to see the bigger picture of the quest because he was so wrapped up in the welfare of gondor but he wasn't fundamentally bad.

I thought his vulnerabilty was an interesting contrast to his strength of body; and tolkein revealed a lot more about boromir as a person than he did about the other members of the fellowship (except frodo and sam of course). I feel as if I knew him...

[TGC]

i vote legolas
who else voted for good ol Legolas

[Theif]

I voted for Frodo, I've always liked him best. But I also like Sam, Legolas and Gandalf. I was surprised no-one voted for Merry - whats wrong with Merry?! He's nearly as good as Pippin, except he didn't throw that stone (or should I say skeleton?) in the well in Moria.

[Merry]

:D

[Swetdawg]

New to the boards here...came trolling cuz of great interest in the new movie.

Just started FOTR for the fourth time and have always been an Aragorn fan. Dude is mysterious, fearless, and wise as a wizard.

:cool:

Well done! I was hoping somebody would vote for him! Now Merry is the only one left without a vote.

Come on guys! Remember that Merry killed Lord of the Nazgul. Don't be afraid to vote for Merry.

[Evenstar]

Tar-Ancalime this is a little late but great poem! I voted for Gandalf and need to stick with it. He's the wisest in the fellowship and perhaps the whole ME and what can I say I love him! I'm sorry but although Boromir is an good character he doesn't have the strength the other characters have if only because he is merely human. I also didn't like tht he attacked Frodo even if there was nothing he could do to stop himself. Oh and if I'm not mistaken isn't Aaragorn human also? Does the royal blood in him give him the ability to resist the power of the ring?

[Merry]

Vote Merry!! He is a champion!

Please......

*prostrates himself on the floor, begging for votes*

[Tulkas]

Well how about those that have already voted? Where would you rank Merry?

I would go:

1. Gandalf
2. Aragorn
3. Gimli
4. Boromir
5. Merry
6. Pippin
7. Frodo
8. Sam
9. Legolas

All of the hobbits are kind of a tie with exception of Merry whom I favor for some reason.

[celeste-jo]

Aragorn

Aragorn is humble yet with courage and honor to fill the entire middle earth. If I could vote for two, I would vote for Sam. We should all be just as fiercely loyal and strong as the beloved hobbit.:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

*holds big sign up stating
Pick Samwise Gamgee for # 1 character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11*

[TGC]

Sam is indeed a good choice, but how come? It's cool to be able to find out what others who read the book think about the book. :)

[Tar-Ancalime]

TGC- I admire Sam greatly for his nobleness,his humorous hobbit sense, his exteme and great loyalty to frodo, what else he was willing to walk right into Mordor, 'without even a handkercheif' in his pocket if Mr. Frodo went.

[menchu]

So Tar-Ancalime is another Sam "fan"?? Great!!! :cool: He's my fave too. I don't know how many threads I have said it in, there just keep coming up new ones about the same thing!

SAM rules!!!!

P.S. WELCOME to all those members I didn't bump into before! :)

[Tar-Ancalime]

you go Menchu!!!!!!!:D

[tookish-girl]

Noooooooooooooooo, why has the Pippin Took count gone down? Or has everyone just been voting for someone else? Vote for the Tookish One! He's a liability!

PIPPIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

(My fonts bigger than your font, menchu!)

[Talierin]

here here Tookish! Pippin is my fave too!:D

[Courtney]

I like Sam the best because he sings a song about oliphaunts, and he is the only one that very willingly gave up the ring when he gave it back to frodo.

[LOTRF]

I like all the hobbits in the fellow ship but Pippin is my favorit

[Tulkas]

...and Gandalf destoryes them all with a deadly curse!




BTW, why are there no votes for Merry!?!

[Jorg]

Gandalf. He fought to the end....

[tookish-girl]

Hang on, great point, Tulkas.
Why aren't their any votes for Merry, especially as we have Merry here on the board!

Did you forget to actually vote, Merry?!:o

[Tar-Ancalime]

Sam fans, get more votes for Sam Gamgee

[Merry]

I think I voted for Sam (can't remember now). I know I am called Merry but I still feel that Sam is a true hero. I just didn't fancy being called Sam on the forum!!

MORE VOTES FOR MERRY PLEASE!!!

[Ståle]

Set me up for Merry.

He always was my favorite. Especially after helping Eowyn in slaying Lord of the Nazgul.

[Eowyn's Sister]

Did you deliberately leave out listing any women characters, or are we so inconsequential that you didn't think anybody would notice?

Except for her silly infatuation with Aragorn, Eowyn is the best role model for a girl in current literature. She's brave, strong, and unwilling to sit home knitting and waiting for the men to save the world, and she does everything she can to help her uncle when all the men are off at the wars.

Arwen, in the book, is the middle earth version of a soccer mom. Boring in the extreme, and the girl that Mom wants her daughters to grow up to be.

Eowyn would kick her butt in a fair fight and I hope at some time in the future she manages to do it.

[Talierin]

As you can see, the title of this thread is clearly Favorite Character of the Fellowship, not favorite character in LOTR. Hence no women, because there isn't any in the Fellowship!:D

Here here for Eowyn! She's my absolute favorite, along with Faramir!

[Greymantle]

And you conveniently were picked as the Forum's Eowyn! Yay Tal...

As for Arwen... she gave up immortality, her family, and her home! And against the wishes of her father and brothers, to boot. That takes an extraordinary amount of inner strength. She's no weakling, and it's insulting to her to think that the only way she can be strong is to go out and skewer things on a sword.

[Merry]

[lohikäärme]

I voted for Merry!

[Merry]

Now we're cooking with gas!! (English expression!!)

Thank you kind Lohikäärme!

Seriously though Merry was a hero in his own right but I still voted for Sam.

[menchu]

I've said it a thousand times, now I'll dedicate my time to his political campaign...

SAM for PRESIDENT!!!!!

Loyalty, friendship, understanding. He will always listen. Don't take him for a fool.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Sam for President,treasurer and anyother available position

[christina]

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE OUT OFF THE FELLOWSHIP?

[ssgrif]

where's the Poll?

Hm, Me thinks you missed out something when creating this thread!

I'll go with Gandalf as stated in another similar thread.

:)

[christina]

gUYS PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICE!!!!;)

[Mormegil]

Since this is the movie forum I'll giive a different answer to the one I gave in thge book Forum.
In the film, Boromir was my favourite of the fellowship. I thought Sean Bean did an excellent job of portraying him. His death was heroic and his repentance of trying to take the Ring from Frodo was sincere and well acted.

[PRH]

I think your caps lock is on christina.

I would have to say Boromir (in the movie) also. He was a more tragic and interesting character than most of the rest.

[Kelkorian]

I'd have to say Sam, since he's the only who doesn't have two of the same letters in his name.

[Snaga]

Ian McKellan's performance as Gandalf was very strong IMO

[christof]

Nah, Gimli's the coolest.

[Gary Gamgee]

I said Gandalf coz Mckellan's performance was outstanding and this is the a film thread, in the book however would be sam and big G second.

Kelky you are a nut:D d'you have something against people with multipule letters of the same variety in thier name or something

3G's

[Ged]

I will say Aragorn. Viggo Mortensen had a difficult job to do and he did it spendidly IMO.

[Lindir]

Boromir's the best. I don't care much for him in the books, but Sean Bean's performance was excellent and in the movie it's easier to understand why he did what he did.

In a local Swedish newspaper they wrote that Sean Bean, surprisingly, played a heroic elven warrior.
That's fun, yes?

[Kelkorian]

Why thank you GGG!

But what do you mean? Do you mean all people with multiple letters, or mean that it is multiple letters with different people; or that you feel a strong attraction to multiple letters; or that it is a a good day to have multiple letters in your name?

[ssgrif]

Nah, Gimli breathes too heavily so he's no good at sneak attacks and stuff.

YayGandalf!

:)

[Gary Gamgee]

oh i dont mean anything sir i just mean that it is good thing to ave multiple letters, dont turn me into anything unnatural please, mr frodo elp

[Minas]

I must say I'm surprised to see B leading the pack. As I've said on other threads, he's a complex character and Seab Bean does him proud

[Elanor2]

I go for Sam. I like very much the Sam of the book, but I think that the movie Sam even improves it.

As close seconds, Boromir (well rounded caracter and also well played) and Gandalf (less rounded caracter, but greatly played).

[darkknight-nyc]

Ian McKellan did a great job portraying Gandalf. I hope he wins an Oscar. The bridge scene with the Balrog was excellent.

[Rosie_Cotton]

I vote for Sam & Pippin, for obvious reason. :D And no, not just because they're adorable, also I love their character.

[UngattTrunn475]

Gandalf was my favorite in that movie. He did his part so well.

[Khamul]

Gandalf was my favorite, but I also like the wraiths......But they were not in the fellowship.

[Andquellewen]

This is a hard question to answer... I really love all of them!
I can't decide!

[tom_bombadil]

my fave charechter is none of those he is tom bombadil the master of the old forest and the barrow downs (in the book his not in the film)

[YayGollum]

Hi! My favorite was Gollum. He was replacing Boromir, you know. :rolleyes:

[~Emerald Took~]

my favorire was Sam becausse he was always loyal to Frodo.

[Urylia]

aragorn definately...how can you not love him?

[Hanne]

It's very different in the film but i think it's Frodo because he is the cutest!!!And the most beautiful!!!:D

[Rohansangel]

I like Boromir becuase he's a beautiful character. Corrupted by the Ring but so devoted to his land and his quest. It's really nice.
Also, I like Sam veryveryvery much!!! He's always loyal to Frodo. I am a PHF of him ... How can I not love him, LoL everyone from BagEnd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~The Angel of Rohan

[Anamatar IV]

aragorn has a certain sense of pride in the movie. ive seen the movie 8 times and in each one i like elessar more and more.

[Weswise]

I chose sam because he was always my favortie he just appealed to me im glad to see hes getting lots of votes. hesa my favortie because hes frodo's best friend and ehs loyal and would give his life to save frodo's hes the perfect example of the greatest friend and i love my friends and can't thank them enough for being so cool and thats the manin reason i love friendship and sam is an awsome example of it

[Gamil Zirak]

I picked Gimli as my favorite. I'm so fastinated by the dwarves. They are my favorite people. Some how, don't ask me why, I feel conected to them in some way. It's weird. Maybe it's because they were the dominent characters (besides Bilbo) in the Hobbit. I don't know.

[ROSEY]

hum-(thoughtfull)so if every 1 thinks that boromir was their favourite character,how come sam is winning?were are all the sam people?dont get me wrong i voted 4 boromir to but i liked sam better in the book because, because, because, because ,because,because of the wonderfull thing he was.:)

[TheLadyofRohan]

i picked Legolas cuz i think he's cute! (or Orlando, whatever)

[myprecious]

Hi everyone! I think I have to go with Aragorn, he is an awesome
actor, I love his part( in movie). and like many of my freinds say, he is cute, although that is not tha only reason why I choose him.

[SpencerC18]

Who is your guys favorite character?
I hate to say it but I am a big Gandalf fan.

[Beleg Strongbow]

Fav would be


me, turin, ani, fingolfin, beren, frodo, gandalf and feanor there are many though and they are all great.

[Úlairi]

Olorin is my favourite 'good guy'. My favourite 'bad guy' would definitely have to be Sauron.

[Beleg Strongbow]

I have to many to put down.

[SpencerC18]

See that is one of the worst parts of Lord of the Rings. There is just way too many cool characters.

I'm not sure who my favorite bad guy is though, I really like Saruman but he's pretty much equal with Sauron.

[Lantarion]

Gandalf rocks, I must say.
But Túrin goes even above him, I think.. He's such a mythological and legendary character!

[Isilme]

My favourite female person in the book is Galadriel.
My favourite male person in the book is Aragorn.
My favourite male person in the movie is Legolas.
But I also love all the hobbits!

Geez what can I say?? I love them ALL!!!:D

[Wood Elf]

Oh geez, lets see, in some order:
Legolas, Frodo, Galadriel, Glorfindel, Aragorn, Sam, Gandalf, Arwen, ermm, everyone else!

[Úlairi]

I have always like Finrod Felagund, Glorfindel is an ineteresting character to like as we are unsure that there were really two different Glorfindel's or if they were the same person. Tolkien made the presumption that they were the same person, yet there was no account of Glorfindel's return from the Hall of Mandos.

[Rangerdave]

Halbarad. the standard bearer of the Dunedain.

Since I was a Ranger in real life, I had to pick one of thoe guys. He seemed like a heck of guy.

But I would most like to meet Galadriel.
yummy

RD

[Úlairi]

RD you devilish thing you!

[Arwen Halfelven]

Hard decision here!! I'm partial to hobbits so I love Frodo, but Samwise has my greatest respect as a friend. Aragorn is my fave human & Elrond my fave elf. I sure would like to have Merry & Pippin at a party!! They all had wonderful qualities & they all had their short-comings. Bad guy award goes to Sauron or maybe Melkor if you go further back in ME history.
I've been computer-less for over 3 wks so I'm so glad to be able to visit here again.

[Eowynil]

Hey now, I think the credit must go to Christopher Lee for his role as Saruman. He is definitely awesome, not only in LOTR but generally as an actor too! 12 [FONT=arial]

[L.O.T.R. Gal]

I really don't even know how to pick! I agree that Boromir was GR$EAT in the movie. Compared to the book his part was way more compelling to me at least. I really loved him by his valient end.:( And being a 14 year old girl I had to love the hobbits a lot more in the movie than in the book(even though I loved them plenty to begin with). Mostly because they seemed way younger, more vulnrable, and way easier to identify with. I laughed with them and cried with them. I also thought Aragorn was awesome in the movie. I loved Gimli because he was gimli. He was well portrayed too. But I had to pick Legolas. I felt like I could both admire and identify with him the most.

[ROSEY]

or FANCY him he he he:D ,naw you have a point though,but didnt you not think that sean bean kicked ass?i really felt the conflict in him much more so in the film than in the book,in the book i thought that he was just weak,but now i know better.ps i loved he hobbits and gimli to.

[L.O.T.R. Gal]

Ha ha ha ha ha........very funny. I didn't "fancy" legolas(if I was even close to fancying anyone it was Frodo(Elijah wood...SIGH.)) Yea I did think Sean Bean was REALLY awesome in the movie. I understood it completly more and I really could tell he loved the other members of the fellowship and only wanted what he thought was best.

[Elessar33]

First off, picking favorites is such an impossible thing. i have a new favorite color every day.
but one character that i really fell in love with is Kind Theoden. He is so human...we can relate because he is vulnerable and noble and yet in his death he is most honored.
I am a rider myself and so when the king of Rohan musters the Rohirrim and rides to war, it makes me cry.

so that's my two cents worth.

oh, and treebeard simply cracks me up!!

[Elessar33]

oops i meant to type KING theoden.

[Úlairi]

Ha! Looks like Elbereth and King Eomer copied my idea! I feel so proud! :) :p

What's going on there Elebreth and Eomer??? Turin is a man!

A great man at that although he does have certain character charasteristics that one may not like.


[QUOTE]King Eomer- "Favorite (male) Elf = Turin''


:D :) ;) :cool:

[Úlairi]

Well done Beleg, I myself did not actually read their posts, it just appeared to me that they had used the same 'set-up' that I had used on the previous page. Yes guys, what's with the Turin fiasco?

[Rangerdave]

Check out the paper at http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3976

I give some reasons for Sam to be counted as a hero on equal footing with Aragorn and Frodo

Man what a shameless plug that was

Well you did save us time

[CyberGhostface]

Gollum (and, no, I dont think he is evil. The ring controlled him.)

[Ice Man]

Making a long list short...

Legolas - besides all the obvious Elvish qualities, he also became friends with Gimli, which means alot to me;

Balin - my favorite of all Dwarves, too bad he was killed;

Sam - no sword or built up muslce can make up for Sam's frienship and loyalty;

Gandalf - both wise and powerful;

Smaug - he's a dragon, need I say more?;

The Ringwraiths - evil in its best, or shall I say worst?

PS: what do you guys think of my list?
PPS: if only one choice is allowed, I go for Legolas.

[Bilbo Baggins57]

My favorite characters would have 2 be Sam, Merry, Pippin, Frodo, Gimli, Gandalf, Aragorn, & of course, myself.

[Úlairi]

There are just too many characters to pick just one isn't there? Btw, Arcanjo, I do like your list but I like Gandalf most of all, not Legolas. :)

Gandalf is fantastic too, he is the wizard I wanted to be when I was a kid, he has it all. He has magical powers, inteligence, wisdom, allies, respect, and is feared. Gandalf is almost too good to be true, IMO.

Legolas has many virtues and qualities , and I think he's more "down-to-earth", if that is possible in Tolkien's stories. :)

[Goldberry344]

hruph. my favs are Tom, Goldberry, Bill the Pony, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn and Eowyn. :)

Arcanjo, I could get into a great debate with you as to why Gandalf is the better character, but seeing as this thread is opinionated and is entirely based on opinion, I cannot. So, I'll leave it, for now. ;)

[Gandalf_White]

Hi I wasn't sure what forum to put this question under since there isn't one to cover the entire LOTR and The Hobbit.:confused:

[Gandalf_White]

I have lots of faves. Gandalf (of course) Legolas, Frodo, Galadriel, Aragorn, and Merry.

[Elias]

I would say The Return of the King or The Two Towers but the Hobbit was really good aswell and The Fellowship of the Ring just rocks! It's not easy to say what's your favorite.

[Talierin]

The Hall of Fire is the general covers-all-books place where this should go, but I'll not whack you with the stick of moderation cause you're new!:D *is feeling generous tonight*

I like ROTK the best.

[Ciryaher]

I say TTT, because it has the Ents! Ents rule, if you didn't get the memo ;)

[Úlairi]

Good for you.

[Arwen_evenstar]

wot about poor old Pippin????????
I luv him in the book, and the film. He is really cute, and i love his character, coz he is clumsy and funny.
All my friends think Legolas is gorgeous, and he is kinda, but he wasn't the best in the film. Aragorn was good too. Boromir was a fab actor!!

[Elias]

My favorite... hmmm!
Let's see Aragorn was guit good but not good enough to be my favorite. Gimli and Legolas were just like I was expecting them to be. Gandalf was OK. Frodo was a little dissapointing to me but he was still OK. Sam and Boromir were both guit good. So there's Merry and Pippin left. I think that I liked Pippin the best, he was funny, hungry and quit stupid (in a good way) like he was in the book. :)

[Chymaera]

I choose the hobbit but you really should have the choice of "all of the above":)

Please, I will not mind you telling me why Gandalf is the greatest character, as long as you don't bash me or my felow Legolas. :D

[Arwen Halfelven]

I've read all these things about the characters and I've come to these thoughts:
1.All of Tolkien's characters were so good at who they were that we actually believe in their existence. Now that's good literature!!
2.Also since the film was released there are actually living, breathing faces on these characters which adds a lot of depth to them as well.
Let's hear it for wonderful books & wonderful films!:)

The list is endless Arcanjo but I will attempt to scratch the surface.

1. Gandalf is wisest of all.
2. He is the most powerful member of the Fellowship and third most powerful being in ME behind Sauron and then Saruman. He then becomes the second most powerful organism in ME later in the book as you already know (I think).
3. He is a Maia, making him god-like, which I seem to like.
4. He can handle Balrogs (a lot better than Legolas could mind you).
5. He nearly single-handedly saves ME from the Shadow of Sauron (which is extremely admirable).

The list goes on and I don't have all day to give reasons.

[Gandalf_White]

Thanks for all this input everyone. Thanks for not hurting me Talierin. I am new and not sure of a lot of things. I didn't want to make an all of the above choice cuz I wanted people to really think about which one was their favorite. If I put an all of the above choice. I'm pretty sure that's what everyone would pick. Right?!?!?!? Anyways thanks everyone.

Which confirms my preious thoughts, he's too good to be true. Of course I know we are talking about fantasy books, so there are no limits to power, but I, for some unknown reason, feel more comfortable with characters that are not close to being gods.

Just my thoughts, but I completely understand you.

[Úlairi]

And I you, Tolkien never believed in the infallible hero which is why Gandalf died at the hand of the balrog and Frodo claimed the One fr himself.

[tom_bombadil]

the fellowship cause bombadills in it

[tom_bombadil]

bombadil is da best

[ROSEY]

Are we talking fav characters in the film/story or the actors we thought played them well?I thought that sean bean who played boromir definately kicked ass but he wouldnt be my fav character in the story nope nope nope it would have to go to sam.

[#1ArcherLegolas]

for the most part i liked all of them

[Gandalf_White]

We need some more votes in here people. C'mon this is a great poll.

[Eithne]

well... i really don't know, but in the book my fav characters are frodo and sam. prolly in the movie too. boromir was really well-acted by sean bean; actually i think everyone was great in it. but, imo none of you give frodo enough credit :( lol. i'd pick eowyn too, but she's not in the movies yet, or in the fellowship.

[Wonko The Sane]

I love all the members of The Company. And here is why:

~Argh...when I voted I picked Legolas..but it's because the Elves are by far my favorite race. They're so noble and fair and wonderful. You could tell that Tolkien loved his elven creations because to them he ascribed no evil attributes. Which is why when Lady Galadriel freaked out in the movie I was a little perturbed...she didn't go THAT wack in the book. :-P Anyway...Orlando Bloom is a gorgeous and wonderful demon of male prettiness... But his character, it's filled with nobility, honor, courage, and substance. I love Legolas

Originally posted by Hanne
It's very different in the film but i think it's Frodo because he is the cutest!!!And the most beautiful!!!:D
~*sigh* I've been in love with Elijah Wood since I was 10 or 11 or so and that Huck Finn movie came out. :-P But in the movie/book he's such an innocent, lovable, good, stout-hearted, strong guy. He's this upright citizen you can't help but love. He's admirable and honorable and courageous and self-sacrificing. He's just an all around good guy and I love him.

Originally posted by Urylia
aragorn definately...how can you not love him?
~That says it all. How can you not love King Elessar? He's gorgeous, he's brave, bold, strong, courageous, sexy, smart, strong-willed, stout-of-heart...he's everything you could ask for in a King. I love the impression you get from reading about him...the dark and hard life he must have lived wandering around a landless ranger who was in fact the King...it's this bitter-sweet tragedy and you feel sorry for him. He has this lost puppy quality...someone that everyone should love but is completely misunderstood and never given enough credit. I just want to hold him and make him all better. :-P He's hot too...so that doesn't hurt anything.

I didn't like Gimli too much, and Boromir was much better in the movie than the book, but still not a fan.
Gandalf is the classic character...consistent through the hobbit and the LotR, but he's not my favorite. He has a tired taste about him. He's wise and wonderful, but when I read of his great deeds I was like "Get on with it, I want to learn more about the new kids". But he definitely saves the day a lot of the time and I love him for that. I love him for that "Showing up with all the answers in the nick of time" quality that he has.
I'm not a fan of Sam in the movie or in the book. Don't get me wrong, he's loyal and lovable. And I do love him. He's good in his own little way. But his dull-wit and stuff are too trying on the patience. He doesn't come into his until the very end of TT and RotK...and by then I had already made up my mind that he's not my favorite. :-/

I think all that's left is Merry. And I think Merry is completely underrepresented here! He's so cute! In the movie and the book he's adorable and he's smarter than Pippin. He doesn't provide as much comic relief and you don't get the feeling that he's just a mischievious kid like you do with Pippin. He's often overlooked. Even in the book he has inner monologues about being overlooked by the Riders of Rohan, and by feeling like baggage to the Company. I like Merry for his maturity and intelligence and also for his ability to kick back and have fun with Pippin all the time. Merry needs more support.
If I could vote again and not in haste I'd vote Merry. :-P

[Dûndorer]

i like em all. but if this was a life or death question i wud have to say TTT.

[YayGollum]

The Two Towers! Because that's the one with the most Gollum lines!

[Dûndorer]

i think we already knew what your favorite book was because of that. lol

[tasar]

Boromir!
That's because I liked every single scene he was in.
It's strange, that in the book he never impressed me that much. But in the movie - lovable!

[Wonko The Sane]

Even when he tried to cuddle with Frodo?

[tasar]

Then most of all.

[Oren]

I don't really know. But If I had to choose it would be Sam or Aragorn. But I don't really think that i have a fovorite Character.

And cuddly...so cuddly.

I'd cuddle those hobbits any day...all of them. Except Sean Astin.
You just can't cuddle with Rudy...especially now that he's all fat...

[Úlairi]

Leave Sam alone! He's not fat, everyone else is just undernourished, such as myself. :p :confused: :cool:

Well, we can hope for a nice skinny Sam at the end of the third movie.

I think we may.
