Which character do you feel the safest with? - Page 5

Sween · 02-20-2003, 05:24 PM

I would say Gandalf but he has an anoying habbit of leaving you.

I would go for sam hey hes small and he not as strong as many but has there ever been such a loyal and devotied protector?

Varda Oiolosseo · 02-20-2003, 05:39 PM

True Sam is very loyal!

But i'd still say Legolas and Aragorn

Good point about Gandalf.

As for Samwise Gamgee, it depends on what you mean by "safe".
Do you mean safe as in,
"I need a date that won't be all hands?" or
"Oh crap!!! Where did all these orcs come from!?! Wow, I'm glad you are here to help me fight them off!" or
"Ok, I have got this really big secret and I have to tell someone, and I'm going to trust you because you're a good friend and you'll keep your mouth shut."

So, define "safe."

Elvedans · 02-22-2003, 05:52 PM

I'd feel safest with either elrond, aragorn or gandalf. I dunno they just have that fatherly, strong, commanding, "nothing can hurt me" air about them don't they?

The original question was who would you feel safest with in a life or death situation?

Ok, that makes more sence. I would have to say Elrond because he has already fought in a war and kicked some booty.

Or, Aragorn. The guy just doesn't seem to lose in a battle.

If I was on the other side, I say the Nazgul witch king. He's scary even without clothes, and you've gotta respect that!

Definitly wouldn't name any of the Hobbits. I would end up defending them! And as brave as Gimili is, well ... he's short. It's hard to hew some heads if your short.

I'm assuming here that we can't name any Valar or Maiar.

Elvedans · 02-23-2003, 09:19 AM

Ok I've come to the conclusion that i would feel safest with........*drumroll*....... ILUVATAR!!!!!!!! Second comes Manwe.

Elf Girl · 02-23-2003, 11:19 AM

I wouldn't feel all that safe with Ilúvatar or Manwë because they're so much more powerful than me.

Agreed. If they were in a good mood and they liked you it would be all gravy. But if either were having a bad hair day, it would be rotten luck for you, peon (meaning me)!

Blackboar · 02-23-2003, 03:11 PM

I would feel safe with Legolas

*Everyone rolls eyes and groans and walks out of the room*

No! He's nice, friendl and welcoming, and loyal, good in battle and he'd battle for you, not too powerful! And he might teach me ho to arch better!

Errgh! [*is tired of Orlando Bloom fans. Once was really impressed with O.B.'s 2 months of training for the FotR movie, now is really nauseated by all this talk.*]

Whoa!!! Where did that come from? I am so, so, so sorry!!! *slaps left hand with right hand repeatedly, in an attempt to punish self* Bad Ruinel, bad girl!!!

Laurelyn · 02-25-2003, 07:43 AM

*would feel safest far far away from fangirls*

Don't just say your favorite character or or lust object, really think about it.

If you were in Middle Earth which character would you feel safest with in a life or death situation and why?

I would probably pick Legolas, because 1. he's cute
2. He can use his weapon better than I and 3. he knows how to run swiftly.

gimli7410 · 02-25-2003, 09:24 PM

probably one of the dunedain,treebeard or quickbeam,gandalf, or one of the valar

Reumandar · 03-27-2003, 11:58 AM

OK
the sucky (ok mabe not totally sucky) reasons you are all giving for liking, I mean choosing, Legolas are the skills that all(most anyway) of the elves have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................................. .................................................. ......................

Not everyone is picking *gag* Legolas, so chill dude. Yes, he has the same skills most other Elves.

BTW, I'm assuming you're from Iceland b/c of your "location". I've always wanted to visit Iceland (if that is where you are from).

Orion · 03-28-2003, 03:16 PM

I´d actually feel the safest with Boromir. He´s a trained warrior with a lot of experience about battles, and if you think of his last battle, he managed to kill a huge number of his enemies, against impossible odds.. I have a feeling that he´d be a good protector.

Reumandar · 04-02-2003, 06:53 AM

HOW DID YOU KNOW (or did you see it from before?)
and
WHY?
BtW I don't hate Legolas (OR psych(spl?) over him) just to let you know

Linaewen · 04-02-2003, 07:52 AM

I'm pretty much the same as gimli7410. Yup, I can't think of anyone else.
