mein favorite character- AsonOFa - Page 2

Elf Girl · 01-28-2003, 08:36 PM

Well my favorite is Glorfindel but since I'm betrothed to him I don't think that vote counts...

Lalaith · 01-29-2003, 12:45 PM

It may seem strange to you, but one person I really hate in Tolkiens books is Aragorn. I just can't stand him.
And Maeglin. He's such an idiot.
I also can't find much sympathy for Thingol.

Beleg Strongbow · 01-29-2003, 01:59 PM

I can see the second 2 but why do you hate Aragorn? I hate the movie's depiction of him, but not the book...

Lalaith · 01-29-2003, 02:03 PM

Why I don't like Aragorn.
That's a difficult question. Sometimes I can't even answer this question, because I don't know why I don't like him. I just read the book and wasn't pleased by him. Do you know that, when you just think somebody is not sympathic but can't say why?
And sometimes he seems just so arrogant to me.
I think his role in the LOTR is far too large and he is not that important (strange, I know - Return of the King). He always seems to be the most important member of the fellowship and I don't think he is.
That's all the explanation I can provide.

Beleg Strongbow · 01-29-2003, 02:18 PM

Interesting. I think that, aside from Gandalf, he is the most important member of the Fellowship.

**Nurvingiel** · 01-30-2003, 03:09 AM

*coughs* Frodo. *cough* *cough* Ringbearer. *cough*

Wayfarer · 01-30-2003, 03:24 AM

Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, and Aragorn at least are all essential to the success of the fellowship. Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir also contributed in their own ways.

Lalaith · 01-30-2003, 12:25 PM

Do you say Pippen in english or is that just a spelling mistake? In german we would say Pippin.

Wayfarer · 01-30-2003, 12:31 PM

we say pippin.

Lalaith · 01-30-2003, 12:57 PM

Stupid girl (talking about myself). You have written Pippin. I think my eyes don't work good anymore. Must be the age.

Beleg Strongbow · 01-30-2003, 02:29 PM

Actually, he did right Pippen, but edited.

Kinda funny to see you beating yourself up though.

Yes! That's why I hate Aragorn, too!

My favourite characters are Sam, Frodo, Gandalf, Pippin, and Legolas. It says so in my profile.

Millane · 01-31-2003, 07:38 AM

How can anyone not like Aragorn... Frodo's journey was the most important but when you think about all he did was walked to Mordor... he didnt fight any battles and up until Rauros Aragorn had to keep him safe... and then after Rauros Sam had to save him... to me all he seemed to do was whinge whinge whinge (maybe movie frodo is intruding my memory there)
Anywho the other hobbits were way better than frodo..

Lalaith · 01-31-2003, 07:54 AM

Yeah, Aragorn sucks.
Thank you!

Narsil's Master · 02-02-2003, 06:03 PM

Gandalf is the coolest when he becomes gandalf the white

Guardian_of_the_Forest · 02-02-2003, 06:36 PM

My favorite characters are Frodo and Sam.

Gorhiriel · 03-20-2003, 01:37 AM

One of my favourites has to be Boromir. He's noble, brave, and a great warrior.

Legolas is also cool. A Prince among elves. Literally.

Just wanted to note that I have changed the title of the thread to show the correct spelling of the word "character," for ease in searching.

aragorn, arrogant??? i think not!!! im sorry, but he didnt even wanna be king in the first place, so how can you see him as arrogant???

on the actual subject:
deffily pippin in the movies (soora, billy boyd is jus soo cute! excuse mah girlish obsessions) but in the books i loved sam and gollum. sam for his loyalty and i just pitied gollum...

Linaewen · 03-21-2003, 07:33 AM

I don't have a problem with Aragorn, i actually really like him.
But my favourite characters are definitely Faramir and Eowyn. Faramir because he's intelligent, kind and because of Denethor's treatment of him. And Eowyn because of her deeds- running around killing evil creatures, unlike other females in LotR.
