Top 3 Fave Characters

[ShadowNinja]

#3Eomer-What a cool character. Where would Merry and Pippen be without him?

#2Sam-I love when he kicks Shelobs butt!

#1Gandalf-Who can resist putting a wizerd in here? I cant Gandalfs is too cool.

[vacin8r]

my take:
3)saruman, hes such a good character because hes so frustrating. who hasnt asked himself "god, if saruman didnt betray the white council, the whole thing would have been sooo easy.... why saruman why???

2)sam, hes your best friend, the guy who has bailed you out of hundreds of messes that your own folly and stupidity got you into, and yet, he doesnt judge you. he is the kind of friend we all wish we could be.

1)gollum/smeagol, one of the most tragic characters ive ever read in a book. as first a halfling enjoying his b-day along the riverbed until corrupted by ultimate evil and greed in the power of the ring, eventually falling into a volcano because of it.

[Lady of Light]

I don't know...I cannot decide!!!

[Legolas]

nice, vacin8r

[Galadriel]

I would have to go with,
1. Farimir
2. Boromir
3. Aragorn.

Because they all show courege, loalty, and many other good quailtys.

[Legolas]

boromir didn't show a lot of loyalty until right before he died.

[Ilúvatar]

Boy I would have to differ with you on that one Legolas. Boromir is very loyal. You may want to read that part of the book again.

I'm going to start a new thread about Boromir and we can discuss him more there.

[Legolas]

okay. and i meant he wasn't as loyal to the fellowship as he could/should've been.
he was loyal to gondor, and that was his first priority. he was the "prince" of gondor, and so he felt his priorities were:
1. gondor
2. fellowship
3. other humans

[Uilos]

ohh btw legolas, boromir was not the "PRINCE" of gondor, he was heir to the stewardship of gondor.

boromir was a very loyal charecter, but he did make a mistake which he saw afterwards. he did show loyalty to the fellowship and to frodo, by saving merry and pippin and sacraficing himself for their lives.

i can't pick 3 fave charecters but mine fave's are:
1.faramir
2.aragorn
3.gollum
4.eowyn
5.beregond
6.shelob
ohhh i just can't decied out of them 6!!!

[Kitoky]

Favorite # 1: Boromir, yeah he was a bit of a jerk in the books but when you read about the full reason of it then you understand and I think he represents alot of people who has also had that same scenario.

Favorite # 2: I'd have to say Ungoliant....she's just seems so cool and powerful...

Favorite # 3: Toss up between Glorfindel and Beleg...

[Breelander]

#1 - Frodo and Bilbo (I can't pick, it's a tie)
#2 - Gandalf
#3 - Sam

[belegstrongbow]

1. Beleg
2. Legolas
3. Maedhros

[Elanor]

1.[glow=red,2,300]SAM[/glow]-He is, in my opinion, the best written/played character in any reading ever! Every time I think of Sam, I feel inspired to be a better person, to be such a true friend like him-and his humle spirit-how he reckoned his hands were for stirring the soil of a garden, not the affairs of power
2.Galadriel-poised so beautifully between power and love
3.Merry/Pippin-Sorry, a tie!Can't really explain my love of them, it's a gut feeling.Make sense?

[iwulff]

Hi i'm iwulff and am new to this forum. Will introduce myselve in short: I'm a great fan of LOTR for the past 5 years or so... and i have read the books quite often same goes with the films. I am also a great fan of the games for lotr, although those aren't that good. , Anyway i have a lot of points i hated with the movies, though i still think it is the best trilogy ever made. Oh something else i also have read the silmarilion and the hobbit.

Okeey my favorite top3 ;D .

1 - Aragorn, he waited his entire live to restore the glory of his house, he is the top hunter and ranger in the era that he lived in. He is the holder of Anduril or before reforging Narsil, which is a amazing sword, and didn't got enough credit in the movie. Oh something else he can command entire armies, heal people who are ill, or wounded, and he has a great will (look with the palantir, which even Gandalf feared to use, although Gandalf was in doubt for using, because he didn't knew what is was at the time). Anyway because of these reasons, because he was more then just a mortal men, i choose him for number one.

2 - Gandalf, he was truly amazing in the books and he added a lot to it. He is a wizard that is one point and he doesn't come from middle earth, like quite a few other elves. He is the leader against darkness, he is white against black. He has ofcourse a amazing elven sword, and he has a great power to help the weak, to get up and go on. I think my favorite part for this wizard is against Saruman, Your staff is broken! ;D

3 - Tricky one, i don't have a dark character as my favo, i didn't liked Gollum, Sauron, Saruman or anyone of them as much as i liked the good once. But Frodo was in my eyes a bit to weak to become my number 3. I think my number 3 would be tom Bombadil, he was the first there, and although i have seen this thread about him, i think that it is more that no one has power over him, and he has power over certain things, to a certain reach. He hasn't power over absolute evil things like Sauron or the Ring, or else he could destroy them both. But anyway he is a amazing characture so he is number 3.

1. Legolas because of his awesome fighting skills.

2. Pippin because he is funny and loyal.

3. Faramir because he is loyal and he to has awesome fighting skills.
