Of all the main "good" characters...who was your least favorite? - Page 7

addmirall · 12-02-2002, 10:09 AM

Hi All!!

I think Tom Bombadil is my least favorite good guy. All that hey-na-ni-na-ni junk
got on my nerves. And what was the deal with he and Goldberry, were they shacking
up or what?

It's a Monday so maybe I'm just in a particularly foul mood this morning, but all the
tra-la-la-la gang (including the elves) were pretty annoying. All that singing and
merrymaking while the world is falling apart. They're freaking immortal, couldn't they
do more?!

I'll have to say Eowyn, overly depressed people drive me up the wall, and the way she hit on Aragorn always bugged me. I sympathize with her situation, but I just don't like her. (till she meets Faramir, starts to SMILE, and grows plants....Then I REALLY like her!

)

Har har! I'm sure there's a thread about that somewhere.

Something that's always bugged me is how the eagles turn up at the end and turn the tide of the battle, like the cavalry in some cliched Western. What are they doing the rest of the time? How about a bit of Nazgul-harrying earlier on in the piece?

Oh and welcome addmirall.

**Nurvingiel** · 12-02-2002, 02:47 PM

The reason Eagles turn up conveniently at the end of a battle is only to save our sorry asses. They don't like to be involved in other people's affairs, but since they despise evil, they will get involved if absolutely necessary.

In the Battle of the Five Armies, they joined in when the good guys really needed some reinforcements. Had the others been able to win alone, the Eagles would have left them to their own devices.

Gwaihir personally saves Gandalf's ass from Saruman's tower.

Gwaihir and two 'lieutenants' save Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom.

Better a late cavalry than none at all!

I like Tom Bombadil, personally, but, hey, that's me. And I'm almost certain Tom Bombadil and Goldberry were MARRIED.

The elves? They weren't so "tra-la-la-la" in LotR as they were in The Hobbit, and I don't think they COULD have done more at that point. The elves's days on Middle Earth were coming to an end, remember.

Elf.Freak · 12-04-2002, 01:30 PM

my fav was Gandalf

even though I prefered Legolas in the film

my least fav was Frodo...I just don't like him...much...

Eothain · 12-06-2002, 05:34 PM

Mine would be Elrond

**Nurvingiel** · 12-06-2002, 06:21 PM

A lot of people said Elrond was their least favourite 'good' character. Does that mean you just like eveyone else more, or that you actually dislike him?

In either case, why is that. I'm just curious about why so many people chose the same character. I'm curious to see if it's for the same reason.

OrlandoFan234 · 12-06-2002, 06:25 PM

[COLOR=deeppink]Hey, To tell you the truth that was really hard to figure out who was my least favorite character, but I think that it would be Sam Gamgee! He was funny but he kind of always lagged behind on the journey!! You know what I mean?

Lanelf · 12-06-2002, 07:32 PM

Welcome OrlandoFan234! And I like Sam too... he's just so sweet and innocent! Aaaawwwww! *wanders off somewhere in a happy daze*

I hope it's not because of the movie.

OrlandoFan234 · 12-07-2002, 01:52 PM

Elf.Freak,
How come you liked Gandolf so much I didn't really like him but I'm with you on Legolas(Orlando)!!! He is sooo HOT!
*~OrlandoFan234~*

BeardofPants · 12-07-2002, 02:28 PM

Oh man.

Have you read the book? That would be a good place to start, OF234. Elrond is the MALE (half) elf who lives in Rivendell. Arwen was his daughter from Celebrian.

**Nurvingiel** · 12-07-2002, 02:47 PM

The Chaper "The Council of Elrond" would be a good place to start if you don't have time to read the whole book... what am I saying!?! You have to read the whole thing!

Blackboar · 12-07-2002, 03:55 PM

lol

Although I don't know what you mean ringbearer by "good characters" (I mean, they were all good, right?)
I would have to say Grimli, he never seems to do much!

And don't diss Sam OF234. I think he's great! (But not as good as Pippin!!!

)

Aragorn2 · 12-07-2002, 04:57 PM

I must say I don't like Bilbo. I only like him for Frodo's sake.

Sicirus · 12-07-2002, 07:24 PM

You all will probably kill me for this but I don't like Tom Bombadil or Goldberry. They are toooo Merry.

They have past like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
