Of all the main "good" characters...who was your least favorite? - Page 3

Ñólendil · 10-24-2001, 02:41 AM

Sindarin_1, J. E. Taylor was probably thinking of Celeborn's words to Legolas when he first greeted him. Celeborn said something like 'Too seldom do my kindred journey here from the North'. When Tolkien first wrote the LOTR, Celeborn was conceived of as a Silvan Elf. That I guess is the limit of the sense 'kindred'. Taylor probably took it to mean 'family', and so made Celeborn out to be a relative of Thranduil, Legolas' father. The word 'kindred' has a different sense now that we know Celeborn was a Sinda (Grey-elf). Legolas was also a Sinda, though of the Silvan folk of the Woodland Realm.

Sorry if I have mistakes in writing but my english is not so good.

I think that my least favorate was Gimli, I just like too match Aragorn or Legolas.
It might be because he is a dwarf and they don't look so nice.

Gosh, that is a hard one. Hmm . . . I've got to say Goldberry. Never really liked her too much. She's okay and all, but just not a favorite.

BeardofPants · 08-18-2002, 10:43 PM

Reviving all the old threads?

I'd have to say ... Butterbur. Chrissake man, just SHUT UP.

Rána Eressëa · 08-18-2002, 10:59 PM

[wise Gandalf voice] I decided for once to go on a major discovery of peril and great distance, to find all the worthy elder threads buried far in the past of Entmoot, and advice my wise councils upon them, for they had not yet heeded the great wisdom of my words [/wise Gandalf voice] . . . why?

That and there isn't a point in starting threads that have already been started before. And most of the threads today are *soft whisper* Stupid . . .

Yeah, Butterbur is quite annoying sometimes.

But I like him. There's just something about Goldberry I don't like, though . . .

cassiopeia · 08-18-2002, 11:12 PM

I would have to say Boromir, then Frodo. When Boromir died, I wasn't even that sad. Maybe he did redeem himself at the last, but I still dislike him. Frodo annoyed me a bit when him and Sam were near Mount Doom. He couldn't stop moaning and groaning, while Sam put up with everything! Butturbur is a bit of dope, I mean, if Gandalf asks you to do something you would do it!

Telperion · 08-19-2002, 11:45 AM

I would say Borimir but he isn't what I would call a truly Good character, he is sort of half and half. After Borimir I would say Haldir in Lothlorien. He is very cold and distant, especially to Gimli. i realize that elves may have reasons for disliking dwarves but, since Gimli was with people like legolas and Aragorn, he could have been nicer.

He was only following the law of the land, and when word came from Galadriel to allow them all to walk freely, I thought Haldir was very gracious.

Shadowfax · 08-19-2002, 02:20 PM

I didn't really like Celeborn.

Minyacamiel · 08-19-2002, 03:09 PM

I REALLY disliked Merry, I LOVED Pippin... But yeah, I'd have to say I didnt really like Galadriel...sorry to say but maybe its because of the way they portrayed her in the movie... she confused me... can anyone enlighten me?

BeardofPants · 08-19-2002, 04:55 PM

How can you dislike Merry?

He just about organised the whole thing!

Khadrane · 08-19-2002, 06:53 PM

Does Boromir count as a good guy? If so, then him. I can't think of anyone else at the moment.

cassiopeia · 08-19-2002, 09:40 PM

Boromir was a good character, it's just that he could not resist the ring. This is the book forum, so the movie portrayal of Galadriel has no bearing. Merry is cool, he did some very good academic work (not to mention some good things in battle).

Sicirus · 08-21-2002, 03:39 PM

i don't like Boromir that much. He was one of the good guess who just did not go to my liking. He was a bit crazy and, well to human.

And farmer Maggot. I just never liked him for the fact that he was just kinda dumb.(no offense to people who like him

) He was ignorant to the history of the ring and Middle Earth. In so he almost got Frodo to turn around and go back.

entss89 · 08-21-2002, 05:51 PM

i would have to say borimor.

entss89 · 08-21-2002, 05:53 PM

wate a second i think it might be gimli then.

entss89 · 08-21-2002, 05:55 PM

no no wate maybe bilbo!
