Who would you fight alongside?

[Thengal]

If you were at Pelenor Fields and you had the choice, who would you fight alongside. Pretend you don't know what's going to happen to them during the battle. Personally I would fight with Theoden. The Rohirrim would follow him to hell itself and if I was there I would too. A man who inspires that kind of devotion is special. I would ride Theoden if I had the choice.

[Meela]

Fighting with Theoden would be an inspiring place to be. But I would have liked to have been able to fight alongside Aragorn or Gandalf.<P>If I could find out at some point that Eowyn was actually a woman, I would love to fight with her. That would be truly inspiring.

[Phervasaion]

I would want to fight along side Aragorn the most. His speach at the end of the film was very inspiring, towards me anyway.<P>Second from Aragorn i would fight along side Theoden. It would be brilliant charging down all the orcs at pelenor along side hum.

[The Dark Elf]

i would fight along side with the Easterlings. they arent disgusting like the orcs, but they are on the same side as Sauron. If i was there, I would figure Sauron would win. Plus Easterlings are cool

[Fosco Burrows]

The Easterlings and the Haraddim have the best looking kit and of course who wouldn't fancy a ride on one of those Mumak?! As far as the good guys are concerned Rohan always strikes me as a bunch of top blokes!!!

[Knight of Gondor]

I don't know. I would enjoy fighing on horseback, yet the garb of the Rohirrim, as the movie portrays it, does not appeal to me. And I don't like those smaller swords they carry...give me a broadsword like Aragorn's any day. But I suppose I would fight alongside Eomer, post-Theoden's death.

[Thengal]

Dark Elf, I wasn't expecting anyone to say any of the enemy but now you bring it up, it would make sense for someone to join them. Nobody thought the Army of the West had a chance and if you can't beat 'em join 'em. Or so they thought

[Finwe]

I'd probably want to fight alongside Aragorn. That "leap over the side of the ship and scare the bejeezus out of the Orc-Pig" maneuver was brilliant!!!!

[Thengal]

Finwe, more importantly was the orc-pig getting KILLED. I thought the only bad part about ROTK was he didn't die a terrible death.

[Jjudvven]

I think I would most like to fight alongside Gandalf. Although it would be great to do battle with Aragorn, or Gimli, or Legolas...

[BoromirsBeard]

Put me on the battlements of Minas Tirith hurling rocks at the orcs with giant slingshots. Only, we need about ten times that many, and a big scarecrow to keep the fell beasts away

[Gashberz]

I would fight alongside gandalf all the way, to see glamdrings fire in battle once again...<BR> <BR> -CHEERS!

[Knight of Gondor]

What about Narsil?? My favorite sword in movie-dom...I never tire of holding my own reproduction.

[Leona]

Personally I am surprised we haven't seen a bunch of "Legolas because he is the best" posts, but, don't look at me to do that. I would definatly be on the walls defending Minas Tirith. <P>Later,<BR>Leona

[Gorwingel]

This is a hard question But I think that I would most likely choose Aragorn (Theoden would be a close second). He's brave, strong, and never gives up. He is the kind of warrior I would like to be (instead of the whimpy, run towards the hills, scared of blood kind).

[Grimkû the Blood-Axe]

Snipering the orcs from a safe level of Minas Tirith with Legolas would be pretty cool. <P>As would waiting on the boat while the men of the mountains went on there big wipe out job.<P>But realistically, I would have liked to be there with Theoden and his men, one woman and hobbit when they first arrive. I also would have liked to survive that battle and fight under Aragorns lead near the Black Gate.

[Daisy Brambleburr]

Theoden, no contest! There's such loyalty inside all of his men, and they will fight to the death for him. I can imagine that he would have been a pretty brilliant leader, if his men truat and love him like that. And just thinking of that charge gives me a tingle... imagine the atmosphere... it would be amazing.

[Oroaranion]

In the movies, I would have to fight along side the Rohirrim or Aragorn and the Dead Army. They glow green.<P>In the book though, I would be with Prince Imrahil. He's great!

[Knight of Gondor]

[Teleri]

I would probably slink along with Arogorn, the Dunedain, and the dead army. I'd stay WAY out of the way while they fought with the ship people (I mean I'd hide under the plank, or something...). Then while the Dunedain fight at Pelenor, I'd stay hidden in the ship.

[Lyta_Underhill]

I'd have to say the White Rider! There's just something about a guy who can thwart Nazgul and their Fell Beasts with a bright light from his staff. Really inspiring! And just in case I didn't know that was going to happen, it is still quite something to fight alongside someone who has risen from the dead. It gives one hope! <P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta

[Eothain Elfwine]

Only one person, Knight of Gondor, I think, has mentioned Eomer after he thinks Eowyn is dead. I would fight with him, especially as he laughs at despair and shouts his great cry: <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising<BR>I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. <BR>To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:<BR>Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Then Tolkien says of him: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>My original thought was Aragorn, for he was a man noble, virtuous, pure, courageous, and everything that would inspire obedience and devotion, but I realized that Eomer got to fight beside him just moments later, and to be with the two of them together in battle (though I don't think I'd have the courage to face battle in reality) would theoretically be the best experience.

[Lenwe]

I would like to fight alongside with Prince Imrahil KNIGHTS OF DOL AMROTH

[Grimkû the Blood-Axe]

[Gashberz]

Well see I would feel comforted to know that i was going to die fighting alongside Gandalf

[Enorëiel]

Heck yeah!

[Kintar Ravenlock]

That was an easy choice.... Aragon, all the way.... Aragons skill with a blade, i think that it surpasses anyone else....

[Minyataurien]

I would say Aragorn. I would probably do something clumsy, like drop my sword, and at least he'd be there to keep them away while I picked my sword back up and wondered why I was even there fighting in the first place.

[Kransha]

Well, I would fight alongside the following people in the following cases.<P>Theoden: If I wanted to be inspired to victory and beside the bravest men I'd ever known (glorious, but impractical, considering he's the Witch-King's target)<P>Aragorn: If I wanted safety. That guy would kill every orc who even gets near him or me.<P>Gimli: If I wanted a smart-aleck comment about everything to keep me in a good mood while slicing orcs.<P>Legolas: If I just wanted to watch.<P>Gandalf: If I wanted cryptic in-battle messages or sudden changes between optimism and pessimism.<P>Eowyn: I wouldn't know it was her, so that's pointless.<P>Eomer: Again, If I wanted to be safe. He's a good fighter, not as good as ol' Strider, but still good.

[Lobelia]

Ooh, Gimli, definitely! I'd feel totally safe *behind* that whirling axe, provided I could keep up with him. I could always promise to count his orcs for him while he fought, and save him the hassle! :D

[Macphisto]

Hmm, well, I have to say I'm more of an ambush person myself, so I'd probably go with Faramir and his rangers. They get to wear those cool Robin Hood-esque cloaks. And they're multi-weapon: bows, swords - you name it. Yeah, I think that's the crew for me.

Though, come to think of it, fighting with Ghan-Buri-Ghan and his Wildmen would be a lot of fun. He's one of my favorite irrelevant characters in LotR. Talk like Yoda, I could.

But since neither of them really make it to the Pelennor (and I can't say I'd want to ride out with Faramir onto the Pelennor, however much I love him) I'd have to say in one of the cavalries, either Eomer's or Imrahil's.

Though, I can't ignore the appeal of riding a mumak... Such tough decisions...

[Finwe]

Since I'm an archer myself, I would have loved to fight alongside Legolas, and take down scores of Orcs by his side. Of course, my self-esteem would also take a beating, considering he's had, what, 1000-something years to practice, whereas I've only had about 3 months. (Hey, I'm still pretty good! Even my coach thinks so! :D)

[Kidd2323]

Were I to follow the movie alone, I would absolutely follow Theoden above even Aragorn. He looks death and despair in the face unflinchingly...(yes, I know, Aragorn treads the Paths of the Dead, but not having the Dunedain nor the horses present in the movie leaves a little bit of Aragorn's strength and courage lacking. It almost seems like suicide, three measly beings treading needlessly a path of certain death. Aragorn--the movie version--didn't command the loyalty and courage unto death as did the book version.)
Theoden faced the marauding hordes with "Death" as his chant. Which prevokes a greater courage? Theoden facing thousands to reknown only in song...his words!

[Boromir88]

The person I would choose (if he wasn't dead) to fight along side with would obviously be Boromir. He was a great fighter and a great military person, not much wisdom in lore like his brother, but definately one of these best fighters in the fellowship.

But, since he is dead I would choose next Theoden. His men knew what trouble they were getting into and probably knew they were going to die. They stepped up and fought for there king they did what he wanted and were loyal to Theoden. He would be nice to fight along side.

[warrenerd]

i would've liked to fight beside aragorn or legolas just because it would've been such an honor to be in the presence of two such amazing heroes. especially legolas, because he was so wise and had seen so much. i mean, he was so much older than anyone else in the fellowship, except for gandalf, of course. and, standing next to them, i think their calm, determined attitudes would've rubbed off on me and i would fight so hard, running on the inspiration they had instilled with me, if nothing else.

[Nirvana II]

i would have fought with aragorn,legolas,or.....mysteriously....pippin, because of his Valiance

[Anarion]

Eowyn. First, the biggest kill of the war is the chief Naz. Second, in the book, she's much more a Warrior than a Maiden.

[Bandobras Took]

I would most likly fight along side Gandi because he is just so awsome! Second of all I am only 14 and would most likly get my but kicked so it would be good to have him there. Also It would be really cool to fight with Gimly. his brute force is just amazing.:p

[elfearz1]

I would fight along side Aragorn because he is noble, brave and an amazing fighter, but also taking into consideration the fact that I'd be an elf I'd want to fight along side my kin so I'd also have to say Legolas.

[ArathorofBarahir]

I would either fight alongside Aragorn or Faramir. I mean Aragorn is the complete warrior, he can adapt his style to fit any situation. The reason I would want to fight with Faramir is because he's a Ranger and I have always wanted to be a Ranger, fighting will stealth and intelligence instead of brute strength.

[Bandobras Took]

I would definantly fight with Bandobras. Cuz he invented golf and all. And thats cool. Plus he is a hobbit!

[Neferchoirwen]

I'd fight with Eowyn, for reasons of sympathy and awe. Sympathy in this situation would mean that I'd feel a bit of bravery myself because I know that my life will be on the line as soon as I get on the fields with her. Awe would also mean that she inspires me so much.

Good for me :D

[Nimrodel_9]

I would certailnly fight alongside Aragorn (especially if I were in the movie ;) )
I would also like to fight alongside Gandalf, Merry, or Pippin. With Gandalf, you are most likely going to be safe. Merry is a little hobbit and needs help, and Pip seemed like he needed company. Maybe he and I could stop Denethor from burning Faramir alive. ;)

[Zebedee]

In the Rohirim charge. Warfare at its finest. Or, with Imrahil and his knight. If none of those two, then with the Rangers. Or Gandalf, I could be there for the whole thing.
I would probably do something stupid though, likerun into an entire company of orcs slashing wildly.

[turgon]

If I knew nothing of the battle, then it depends on which army I stood with. Most likely I would stand beside the nazgul or mithrandir. I would like the power one of the nine command yet I would lust for the power of the west. Guess I would fight beside myself. :D :mad:

[King of the North]

I would fight alongside the soldiers of Gondor. Despite the fact that Denethor II was a little insane, he could still use my help. Besides I would be fighting for the sake of good, not him. From the very beginning of the Battle of Pelennor Fields Gondor's soldiers get pounded. If the King of the North was there fighting alongside heros such as Beregond the battle would have been more even.

[Orophin]

I would fight along side of Boromir. He is practically unstoppable on the battle field. Even though he may have made a few mistakes he is still a master warrior.

[Babidi Buu]

The Good: Legolas, Gandalf, King of the Dead, Theoden.
The Evil: Witch-King, Gothmog.

-The Good-
First choice: Most likely King of the Dead. It's not every day you see the undead fighting for the side of Good :P Or im a coward.
Second Choice: Gandalf. Why? it would be pretty cool fighting alongside a Wizard, and he beat up denethor.
Third Choice: Legolas, Would be fun playing the killing-counting game with Leggy and Gimli.(that or probably my fangirl-izm got the better of me)
Fourth Choice: Riding with Theoden and the rohirram would be amazing, and when they shout "Death" as they charge gives me the goose-bumps.

-The Evil-
First choice: Fighting for the Witch-King would be cool. Being a Leader of the Nazgul, he will surely kick some booty(Untill Merry and Eowyn come along) As long as your not infront of his Mace thingy.
Second Choice: Gothmog. Sure he Looks to boot, but Something about him. He's not really like most other orcs, And it's a mystery what kind of creature he is in the book. So it would be pretty cool to actully fight side-by-side with him.

The end. Those are the six Characters i would fight alongside, I am sorry about the long post

[Lindale]

Shelob. Lmao. She did manage to make Melkor cry in anguish and he had to wait for his goony Balrogs to rescue him from her cluches. *annoyingly old-school sinister laugh*Oh wait, this is the movies.

Anybody but Legolas. I wouldn't be able to keep up with his impossible stunts. So maybe Eowyn. Lovely bit of writing Tolkien had, when he included death-seeking (almost emo-ey) Eowyn into battle. In the movie you could almost feel her fear.

[Eönwë]

Shelob. Lmao. She did manage to make Melkor cry in anguish and he had to wait for his goony Balrogs to rescue him from her cluches. *annoyingly old-school sinister laugh*Oh wait, this is the movies.
Isn't that Ungoliant?


But in movies (especially EE) I would probably say that Gandalf is the safest (book Gandlaf would be more amazing though), but Aragorn and Sam would also be fun.

[Groin Redbeard]

What a fun question! :D By all means I'd fight alongside Gimli, although our height difference might a problem, it would be more like a game with him. All that I'd have to do is watch what I'm doing, no need to worry about him! ;)

If I couldn't fight next to him, I'd like to be one of the soldiers defending the city with Gandalf.

[Lush]

Oooh! What a fun old thread!

Aragorn, no doubt about it. He has the best posse. And I like the way he speaks.

[Diane C]

Eowyn or Boromir, for me.

Eowyn for proving that "War is the world of men" (quoted by Eomer I think) is not necessarily true at all, especially after removing her helmet and telling the Nazgul King "I am no man!"

Boromir, because he is a genuine leader of men, loyal, passionate, determined and - if it were not for the Ring - a truly spirited indivdual who will always support the good over the bad.

[Andsigil]

I'd like to be side by side with Gimli at Helm's Deep.

Dwarves are the most stalwart of companions, and I like their personality and culture. Of all the people of ME, I would fit in best with them.

[thewichtking]

i would like to be a soldier of gondor because they are brave, proud, strong, loyal, they have really awesome Armour, plus they have the city which means a wall that i could shoot from.:D

[alatar]

i would like to be a soldier of gondor because they are brave, proud, strong, loyal,...
You did watch the movie...right? ;)

I too would stand beside Boromir, as he seems like a guy that would have your back as well as share a mug of ale with you. Aragorn's companions in battle fared not as well, and he was a little on the moody side, 'cept when he was being kissed by a horse.

[TheOrcWithNoName]

Boromir or Faramir, primarily because they're good in a fight, fine strategists, passionate for their people & lands. Boromir, especially because he seems like one of the lads up for a few drinks down the local tavern, followed by ye olde kebab & chips for afters

[Nessa Telrunya]

If I had the choice, I would fight by someone like Samwise. He stuck by Frodo until the very end, and his frying pan is mighty XD

[Hakon]

If we are talking seriously then I say Aragorn or Theoden. If not then I say Eowyn. If I thought I might die, I might as well die near a beautiful woman.

[Morsul the Dark]

well seeing as I don't know what's going to happen I hate to be the jerk who stands on the bad side but.... haradrim definately perched on top of an oliphant seems pretty safe, and I'm a wuss

or Gimli because I could take him and legolas on in their counting match, "That still counts as one!"

EDIT: sorry never post late at night you don't think straight, I knew it wasn't the easterlings but I drew a blank...

[Hakon]

I think you are confusing the Easterlings with the Haradim.

[LadyBrooke]

Haldir so I could keep him from dying at Helm's Deep because it irks me that Peter expects us to believe that all the elves died while a bunch of old men and children managed to survive.:mad:

[Eönwë]

Haldir so I could keep him from dying at Helm's Deep because it irks me that Peter expects us to believe that all the elves died while a bunch of old men and children managed to survive.:mad:

And not that suddenly a large army elves appears at Helms Deep? ;)

[LadyBrooke]

That irks me too.:mad: In fact I can't stand the whole sequence. Like the elves have nothing better to do than take a trip to Rohan and die. Does he honestly expect us to believe that Lothlorien - which is within a day's trip of Moria - is not going to have been beset by all those orcs which you just showed us last movie? Honestly just show a five second shot of them fighting orcs in Lothlorien and be done with it. What did they do leave Galadriel and Celeborn there by themselves to fight off hundred upon hundreds of orcs? No matter how great Galadriel is she can't fight that many by herself.;)

[sassyfriend]

I would fight along with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. They are great fighters and great friends.
