Guess who

[LePetitChoux]

OK, basically you find weird and wonderful representatios of LOTR characters/places/ etc. etc. and everyone has to guess who/where it is.

for instance:
http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/lotr-2-3456-boromir-want.jpg

Guess who the weird viking guy is, and therefore whose hair it is. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gayahithwen]

Perhaps it is Gimli? I really don't know..

EDIT: And frodo from behind?

[ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: Gayahithwen ]

[LePetitChoux]

nope, not Gimli...that would be too easy! Keep guessing... smilies/wink.gif

[Arwen Imladris]

Is it Beorn? IF it is then is the hair Bilbo?

[gollum*elf*pup]

Is it Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo? (I dunno, just guessing!) smilies/tongue.gif

[DarkRose]

Yes, it is Boromir trying to take the Ring from Frodo. Good guess, gollum*elf*pup! smilies/biggrin.gif

That picture is from the old, horrible, bad-quality LOTR animated movie from the 70's. I own that movie on DVD. Its awful. I just watch it to laugh.

My list of things wrong with that movie HERE (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001131).

[Arwen1858]

Yes, it is Boromir trying to take the Ring from Frodo. smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif poor Boromir!! I like Sean Bean even better now, after seeing what Boromir could have been!
Arwen, Queen of Gondor

[LePetitChoux]

Does anyone want to post one? I've just woken up....

[TolkienGurl]

Yep, everyone. Boromir's a viking. *TolkienGurl quickly stifles her laughter*

[DarkRose]

Alright, I will post an image:

http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/lotr-1-2443-strider-2.jpg

Guess who?

smilies/biggrin.gif

[LePetitChoux]

Most people who recently posted on Crazy Captions will know that one...

Maybe this thread should be retitled "Weird 1978 cartoo characters"? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif

[Siiw]

I have never seen this cartoon...Could this be Stryder?

-Eartirwen (How do I change my displayed name?)

[Elenna]

Yup - that's Aragorn/Strider. Personally I can't picture a gorgeous Elven princess giving up her immortality for that guy.

[Arwen1858]

me neither. I really feel sorry for that Arwen!!!

That pic of Aragorn, whew! He's soooooo cute! ( smilies/wink.gif)

[ October 31, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

[Melephelwen]

Either that or three hobbits lost in the Barrow-Downs (the real ones) trying to scare the wights...

[Diamond18]

TolkienGurl is right. (And I thought I was going to stump y'all with that!)

[TolkienGurl]

Ok, well someone else post a picture. I don't know how.

Diamond18: Even though I saw that movie a long tim ago, I do have a good memory. Sorry to disappoint you!

[Diamond18]

Yep, that's Éomer. Now who's THIS????

http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/h-2-1216-wood-elf-king-2.jpg

[Raefindel]

That is Thranduil, King of the Elves of Mirkwood.

[Raefindel]

Who is this handsome fella? http://downloads.sympatico.ca/themes/screens/fantasy/legolas.jpg

[Melephelwen]

That must be Legolas smilies/biggrin.gif

[Raefindel]

That is correct, Lady Fair.

[Melephelwen]

Wow! (I think)
I don't know where to find another picture, so anyone, post on smilies/wink.gif

[Raefindel]

OK, How about this dude. http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/rotk-1-2401-theoden-2.jpg

[Melephelwen]

It's actually quite fun guessing! smilies/biggrin.gif
Could that be Théoden? Or Gimli?

[TolkienGurl]

I'm pretty sure its Theoden, Melephelwen. Let Raefindel say so, though. smilies/smile.gif I kiss frogs. Don't trust me. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Raefindel]

Theoden it is! smilies/smile.gif

[Melephelwen]

That is ... weird. I can't believe they picture "people" like that!!! Well, anybody? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Diamond18]

[mordor136]

is that one the lord of the nazgul riding on a winged beast.-

[Diamond18]

Correct. Now is that lame or what? Apparently Rankin and Bass don't know the meaning of "invisible". smilies/rolleyes.gif

[TolkienGurl]

That Nazgul pic is frightening! Why did they have to go and desecrate LOTR like that? I think I'm gonna be sick... smilies/wink.gif

[dragoneyes]

I thought it was an actual type of bird they rode, rather than a horse with wings (that's what it looks like anyway)

[TolkienGurl]

hey - they messed up everything else, why not make an evil pegasus?

[Raefindel]

OK, I'll post one since no one else is.

Who's the dark-haired gentleman with the Hobbits?

http://www.lotrplaza.com/gondor/faramir_frodo.jpg

[TolkienGurl]

Is that Faramir with Frodo and Sam?

[LePetitChoux]

I think its either Faramir or Strider.

[LePetitChoux]

OK, I have one now. This isnt a WHO (thats obvious). Say WHERE the hobbits are. (I'm not sure myself but I have a guess.)

YEs, Tolkiengurl, that was Faramir.

I believe,LePetitChoux, that would be Faramir's hideout at Henneth Annun.

[LePetitChoux]

thats what I think too.

[Raefindel]

OK, Who's this pansy-guy?

http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/h-1-1941-elrond-2.jpg

[TolkienGurl]

That would be Lord Elrond, the Christmas tree lighting guy.

Indeed, Lovely Tolkiengurl. You're up

[TolkienGurl]

Are you making fun of my drooling, confused smiley? smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, I have no idea how to post a picture so either someone please tell me, or go.

[Raefindel]

OK, I'm really bad at giving lessons but I'll give it a try. Here's Google Images (http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=). Type in a character and find an image you like. Click on the image;it will go split-screen-half the image you found, half the web-page hosting it. On the top half where the image is click on -see image alone- or -enlarge this image- when it is alone highlight the address and copy it.

Go back to this page,add reply and click "image" just below the typing box. Paste the address in there. Ta-dah! If it's not a protected image it will appear. I've had to delete several because sometimes you don't know if their protected unless you try.

[TolkienGurl]

Thank you! Let me try it... Ok never mind. I can't do it!

Is that Legolas again?

[InklingElf]

::nods:: I think that's Legolas alright-heh

[Diamond18]

Oh no it isn't! I won't say who it is, though, because I cheated to find out.

[Raefindel]

Nope! Not Legolas, In fact, not part of the Fellowship.

[InklingElf]

oh ok ummm: Aragorn? Elrond? Beren? One of the Valar-or a dark elf? Not from LOTR at all?

[Raefindel]

this will give it away. Here's his brother.

I don't actually think that helps at all! I'll probably kick myself when I find out who it is though.

This is so painful...remind me to never cheat again. Somebody guess the right answer and put me out of my misery.

[Raefindel]

You tell us, Diamond, and spare us further agony.

[LePetitChoux]

Its elrohir...or elrodan..one of them!

Yes, My Lord, the green one is Elrohir and the Blue is Elladan.

Ah, thank you LePetitChoux. I was about to break down and do it.

I'm going to take someone's turn. This fair lady is not who I thought she was.

http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/lotr-3-1909-eowyn-2.jpg

[TolkienGurl]

Eowyn?

[Raefindel]

Yes. Doesn't she look like Galadriel?

You're up.

[TolkienGurl]

http://www.aardvark.on.ca/tolkien/pix/ship_off.jpg

What is this?

[ November 02, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

[Raefindel]

Is that a Corsair of Urumbar? Hmmm... doesn't really look like it, but at a loss as to what else it could be. I guess the corsairs would be black, huh. And it doesn't look like a ship leaving the Grey Havens,
and that is definitely not Galadriel's Swan-ship.

[LePetitChoux]

This is a bit random, but could anyone find a pic of the freaky-cartoon Arwen?
I mean, they al look funny and people keep saying that they feel sorry for Arwen if she has to marry the weird Strider. But what does the lady herself look like? Anyone?

[ November 03, 2002: Message edited by: LePetitChoux ]

[LePetitChoux]

Is that a pic of Feanors ship going through the ice? (I forget the exact names)

Or at the end, the Grey Havens, the ringbearers' ship?

[charly]

Wo-AH. Those are really, really weird!
Ok,um,is that the ship Frodo,Gandalf,Galadriel&Co. all leave with??

[Raefindel]

Gee, LePetit, is this the one you mean?

http://www.jimcalagon.supanet.com/arwenarcher.jpg

[LePetitChoux]

LoL, no! I mean the 1978 one... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[hobbitlass]

LePetitChoux, Bakshi never finished his rendition of LotR. So we are spared his idea of how Arwen looks.

[Raefindel]

But Rankin Bass did, I'll have to watch it to remember what she looks like. You can buy all three in a set at Costco. Hmmm...Whose turn is it?

[LePetitChoux]

Dunno. Tolkiengurl never sad... ah well, I'll go then, shall I?

http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/rotk-2-4013-eowyn-faramir-2.jpg

[LePetitChoux]

Actualy that was a bit obvious... try this one:

http://members.tripod.com/taylortheory/images/Aragorn.gif

Who is this lovely fella?

[Raefindel]

I can see Eowyn and Faramir, but the one beneth it says "image hosted by tripod".

[hobbitlass]

Raefindel- There was a RofK made by the same people who did The Hobbit. I have the set also. Arwen is not in that one either. In fact, LePetitChoux put up a picture of Eowyn and I'm guessing Faramir.

Lepetitchoux- that is Aragorn from the brothers Hildebrandt.

[LePetitChoux]

Both of you are correct! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif

well ppl, this is just very cheatable game. Under this red cross Haldir, Frodo and Sam are hidden.
