Alright! It would be nice if everyone included a motivation to why they've given a certain character this and this award.

Favourite character: Faramir. He's so nice and so noble.
Funniest character: Pippin. It's in the young hobbit's personality to be funny
Stupidest character: Barliman Butterbur. He's stupid in a funny way. He has a bad memory and is somewhat afraid of Gandalf.
Nicest character: Gandalf. He's so friendly towards Frodo and the other hobbits.
Least favourite character: Can't think of anyone, I sort of like all of the LotR characters in one way or another.

***azalea*** · 04-18-2003, 01:24 PM

Okay, if were going to do this here, it needs to be strictly "book" and NOT movies. If your intent was for people to post about the characters as portrayed in the movies, let me know, and I'll move this over there. Thanks.

Lady of Rohan · 04-18-2003, 04:32 PM

Favourite Character: Tom Bombadil
Funniest Character: Pippin
Stupidest Character:I don't know
Nicest Character: Sam, probably...
Meanest Character: Sauron!

EDIT; I just realized that there wasn't a meanest character category on the survey, but I am leaving it up anyway. now to finish with the right category......

Least Favourite Character: I have to go with GW an Jonathon on that one (my, aren't I original!

)

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-18-2003, 09:55 PM

Favourite: Gandalf. He is very wise, and kind, and stern, and awesome.

Funniest: Either Bombadil or to tell the truth, Gandalf. He seems to me to be actually possessed of a rather dry wit.
Stupidest: Butterbur. Definitely Butterbur. (Though, in the movie, it would be that guy with the carrot who burped in Bree.

)
Nicest: Sam. He just IS.
Least Favourite: Hmm...I'm with Jonathan on this one.

Hasty Ent · 04-18-2003, 10:21 PM

1. Favorite character -- Frodo -- I love the way his character matures from a young, naive boy to a wise and reluctant hero.
2. Funniest character -- Lobelia Sackville-Baggins -- pompous people make me laugh (although she does have her moment of redemption

).
3. Stupidest character -- poor Butterbur keeps winning this slot, but I don't think he was stupid (doesn't Bombadil say something about this?), he's just got too much on his plate to remember everything so he's absent minded. Now, what was I just about to say... Can't really think of any stupid characters, simple ones, maybe, or sheltered in their world view.
4. Nicest character -- tough choices here, but probably I'd pick Samwise.
5. Least favorite character -- Bill Ferny -- Important to the story, so I like the 'characterization' but I don't like him. Sure, there are nastier villains, but I hate small-minded, mean and petty people more.

Melko Belcha · 04-18-2003, 10:40 PM

1. Galadriel - Her wisdom and all the stuff she must have seen is mind blowing.
2. Tom Bombadil
3. Fatty Bolger - Not bad stupid.
4. Sam
5. Bill Ferny - I just could never trust him.

Anglorfin · 04-18-2003, 11:08 PM

1. Favorite character - Legolas, although I am ashamed because now I sound like a stupid fanboy thanks to the movies
2. Funniest character - Pippin or Treebeard
3. Stupidest character - Saruman, what a deluded fool
4. Nicest character - Faramir, he handled everything really well
5. Least favorite character - Denethor, by the time the books came around he was nothing but a depressed blob

cassiopeia · 04-19-2003, 01:49 AM

Favourite Character: SAM. SAM. SAM. Did I say Sam?

Already said why in the most impressive male thread.
Funniest Character: Tom Bombadil. Because he walks around singing silly songs, and asks the hobbits to run around naked.

Stupidest Character: Lotho. Stupid, pimply....
Nicest Character: Sam again.
Meanest Character: The orc that whips Frodo. I'd like to whip him...

No! He's not really mean! He's just a little mad, that's all! I like Denethor, I really do. He's an interesting character, maybe one of the most interesting in the whole trilogy if you ask me.

Lalaith · 04-19-2003, 12:13 PM

Let me think ....
1. Favorite character
Faramir, because he is brave and strong and still toughtfull and he is so cute to Eowyn (which would be one of my favourite characters too)

2. Funniest character
Legolas, I know that sounds weird, but I always laugh about his sentences the most. (not in a bad way, I really love his character)

3. Stupidest character
Pippin, I can't help. He seems a little dumb to me.

4. Nicest character
Faramir, because of .... well, I said that before

5. Least favorite character
Denethor, he is so mean to Faramir

hey, I just saw that you have the same least favourite character like me. I had to think long about this answer and in the end I came back to Denethor.

You too? Another Denethor-hater

Even though he was mean to Faramir (my favourite character), I find him very intriguing. He's perhaps the only person in LotR who you can't place on the good or bad side.

Orion · 04-19-2003, 12:22 PM

1. Favorite character - Merry Brandybuck
2. Funniest character - Ioreth
3. Stupidest character - Ted Sandyman
4. Nicest character - Merry, again
5. Least favorite character - Grima.

That's the reason why I chose him. I mean it is easy to hate a villain but he is neither good nor bad and that makes me not liking him.
