Of all the main "good" characters...who was your least favorite? - Page 6

entss89 · 11-10-2002, 05:46 PM

it would have to be lord elrond he is so boring please help me i think im falling asleep!

Dunadan · 11-12-2002, 07:37 AM

At least he had some personality (in the book; the movie version is pretty flat so far).

I think I get wound up by "too-good-to-be-true" characters. Hence, Aragorn sometimes gets a bit annoying latterly in TTT and ROTK. However, if I'd been in the story, I think Legolas' constant singing while I was trying to sleep would have driven me round the bend.

Sicirus · 11-12-2002, 08:43 PM

Well they said that his singing was very nice. Plus if they wanted to shut him up they would have a) asked him to politly to stop
singing.
b) if that fails throw an apple or a
pine cone at him.

I'm with you Dunadan, since we are talking about the books here, we have to say that book Gimli is cool. If he's somebody's least favourite character, that's different then disrespecting him.
After all, Frodo might be my least favourite character, but I still think he's awesome!

On a similar tangeant, which of the main evil characters do you like the most?

I like Saruman the best. (Good taste in pipe-weed

)

I think of the good characters Arwen would be my least favorite. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because sometimes it seemed like she was just there

Lobelia, though she probably isn't what you'd call evil...

Shagrat, then. With a name like that, who would stand in your way?

Totally. Sometimes she just seems like some non entity who just happens to spring up now again- although she plays an important part in a way- showing the struggle for the elves when it comes to leaving. She can't be the only immortal in love with a mortal, so it highlights the struggle there. I can't decide who my least favourite is though- sometimes I love the characters and other times I just think WHY??? Mx

**Nurvingiel** · 11-20-2002, 02:45 PM

I like Shagrat and Gorbag too! When I was a kid, my Dad read the entire series to my brother and I. He did these great voices for the orcs. I also like that long-armed guy... d'oh! I can't believe I forget his name...

Lollypopgurl · 11-20-2002, 10:53 PM

Ummm...that's hard to say...

I guess Celeborn. He was kinda mean to Gimli.

Not to say that Galadriel has bad taste or anything...

Lollypopgurl · 11-20-2002, 10:59 PM

Nurvingiel, his name was Grishnakah or something....

Lol, can't spell half the names in LOTR.

Aragorn_iz_cool · 11-23-2002, 09:26 PM

ARWEN!!! STUPID SHE- ELF- B*tch stole glorfindels house.

If it has to be a followship member, boromir.
1. He's annoying
2. He insolted Aragorn

**Nurvingiel** · 11-24-2002, 01:10 AM

^_^ Thanks Lollypopgurl, his name was Grishnah. I don't know how to spell it either, but that's how I pronounce it.

3. Aragorn kissed him!!! (He's mine, my own, MY PRECIOUSSS)

ER....
Come down it was just a friendship brotherly kiss.

Plus Arwen married him. And it was not Arwen's fault they put her in place of Glorfindel. (I love Glorfindel. I would have loved to see him in the movie more then Arwen.)

*defensively* (I like being defensive today) I like Elrond! Then again, I am the gal who mainly talks with family about science and theology (We have discussions about the soul, different denominations, church history, creation v. evolution, robots, quantam physics, how computers work and why they often don't, and it's all considered perfectly normal family conversations. In fact, theology and science are almost ALL we talk about, with some LotR and other books mixed in. I'm not kidding!)

**Nurvingiel** · 11-24-2002, 10:43 PM

I like Elrond too! (I wanted to say, "The Matrix has you Frodo" but this is the book forum.) Elrond is so awesome in the book. He's the epitamy of an ancient, wise, slightly cynical, battle-hardened elf.

Meriadoc · 11-28-2002, 12:40 AM

Elrond was boring .I almost fell asleep.zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

ringbearer · 11-28-2002, 12:48 AM

WOW! I started a post that has (now) 116 responses!

BORING?!

I liked Elrond...book version, of course!

cassiopeia · 11-28-2002, 01:05 AM

Elrond is great - he is wise, brave and honest. He fought in the last alliance and knew that the one ring must be taken to Mt. Doom to be destroyed. The council of Elrond is probably the best chapter in the LOTR.

Sicirus · 11-28-2002, 07:50 PM

I love Elrond. He is so wise and brave.
If you look at my favorit character in my profile you will find Elrond.
He knew things of the ring and its passed that many knew nothing of save Isildur.

AudrentheRanger · 11-29-2002, 06:25 PM

My least favorite is Boromir. What a traitor!
