entss89 · 08-21-2002, 05:57 PM

okey now i have it. its borimor.

Treebeard_00 · 08-21-2002, 08:06 PM

Well my over all favorite would have to be.....Aragorn

cassiopeia · 08-21-2002, 11:56 PM

Did Farmer Maggot how some dealings with Bombadil? I wouldn't call him dumb.

BeardofPants · 08-22-2002, 12:00 AM

Farmer maggot knew a lot more than he was given credit for. Tolkien himself said that Maggot was a strange one.

I'm not sure about direct dealings with Bombadil, but he certainly wandered into the old forrest.

Linarryl · 10-29-2002, 03:01 PM

I don't like Frodo. All he does in Mordor is hang on to Sam's back lazily. He never walks!
Oh Sam! I too tired to go to Mordor. Carry me!
~Frodo

Frodo also isn't so good a fighting. All he does is hide.

Now now, I think you are being a bit too hard on Mr. Frodo. Afterall, he had a great burden by having to carry the Ring, and he had been terribly wounded. Although Master Elrond healed the wound and saved his life, he was never without the effects of it. Frodo was not a coward IMO.

Coney · 10-29-2002, 07:32 PM

Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger.

Imagine NOT WANTING to accompany Frodo and the others on their adventures

.......... soft lad our Fatty

Also if he hadn't blown the horn of Buckland then maybe the Nazgul would have been stalled a little longer and the hobbits would have made it to Rivendell unmolested

.

Of course having the Nazgul linger around the Shire wouldn't have been much fun either, but the fate of the world was at stake!

durin's bane · 10-29-2002, 08:02 PM

Aragorn. Can you say "show-off"?

But, really, he was all like, "I'll fight the Ring-Wraiths! I'll look into the Palantir and confront Sauron! I'll lead the people to Helm's Deep! I'll take the Paths of the Dead!"

Don't take my word for it, I just don't like Aragorn.

Renille · 10-29-2002, 08:21 PM

You...you don't like...Aragorn?? NOO!

I happen to love Aragorn, but that's me.

MY least favorite good character is Frodo. So weak, so helpless, so sad. I wish that he would have at least made more of an effort to resist the ring and not be so fatalistic all the time. I found it awful. But again, that's ME!

Sicirus · 10-29-2002, 08:42 PM

Well you kinda hafta consider how long Frodo had the ring and the fact he never really heeld from the Nazgul wound. Think of yourself in his place and being human and all would make you more vulnerable to the rings evil powers. Basicly ya he was a bit weak. But he never actually worked as he grew up in the Shire physicly(I think). Frodo got further than most expected and he survived the Nazgul wound. You have to give him a bit of credit.

You've been overly influenced by the movie, Lin. He sprang forward at the Witch King on Weathertop...granted, it didn't do much good but the WK was a pretty scary guy.

He drew first blood in Moria as well. "The Shire!"

*re-scans post* Also, what SGH said.

Finglas · 10-29-2002, 08:58 PM

I know that I'll probably be banned from the moot for this one, but I would have to say Legolas. Even Tolkien admited that he achieved the least of those in the fellowship.

Fred Baggins · 10-29-2002, 08:58 PM

Borimir! He was soooo mean to poor little Frodo. And I guess that answers who my fave was to!

Nah, we won't ban you for that. Besides, Legolas was the least impressive of Tolkien's great Elves, but he was still an Elf, and that made him great.

Lanelf · 10-29-2002, 10:37 PM

Gandalf! He was an obnoxious grumpy old guy, and he cam back from the dead (why couldn't he just stay dead, hmm?!?) and he made everyone so sad for NOTHING when he was not really dead anyway and dagnamit he was annoying!
Sorry. Ranting again. But he really annoyed me!

Lanelf.

Aeryn · 10-29-2002, 10:54 PM

My least favorites...Elrond (in this story, he doesn't have much dealings or anything so...axe him) and Arwen.

durin's bane · 10-29-2002, 11:14 PM

Oh, I forgot to add Boromir to my list. I don't exactly hate him, I like him in some parts, but he's so proud and greedy that it's nearly impossible to like him. However, he's got his moments with me. I'm not a fan of the race of Men.

Cirdan · 10-30-2002, 01:33 AM

It's got to be Denethor for me. A manifestation of so many human weaknesses. I guess he was supposed to be sympathetic but I didn't feel it.

EDIT: WOOHOO! Number 1000!

Denethor was a villain. Certain parts of his tale were pathetic; and as such these specific parts might inspire sympathy but on the whole he was villainous. So your feelings (or lack there of) are quite appropriate.

BeardofPants · 10-30-2002, 02:18 AM

Hmm. Deja vu.

I don't think Denethor's character can really be classified as villainous.... Flawed maybe, but not villainous.
