Who would you fight along side!!!
 
Anyone in any middle earth books, who would you fight along side!(regards to thengal for this idea)

Silmarillion- FingolfinlFingon

LOTR- Imrahil

Robomir 01-19-2004 09:21 AM

Sil- Hurin and Huor
Lotr- Theoden I think but its pretty difficult also Faramir would be good.

The Perky Ent 01-19-2004 09:34 AM

Tom Bombadil!

-I could drink a smoothie while he weaves spells around the enemy.

tom bombadil's still prety cool though...

Altariel 01-19-2004 10:50 AM

LotR: Umm... Aragorn! ^^;

As for the Sil... Feanor, you son of a silly person. Heh. Despite the fact that it would quite likely result in my death... ah well. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

The Perky Ent -> Lol. Mmm... smoothie. I'll bet Bombadil could kick some arse. If anything he could drive the enemy away with endless streams of rhyming verse... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Aah, just kidding. I like Bombadil. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nibinlondwen 01-19-2004 03:17 PM

Sil - Beleg Cúthalion
LotR - Elrond

I don't know why, but I'm so darn into Elrond's fighting tecnique.

Elrond of Rivendell 01-19-2004 03:21 PM

LotR: Theoden (greatest man in the book)
Sil: Beren (mmhmm ... he didn't really fight, did he? ... so I would perhaps choose Fingolfin)

EfR

Thengal 01-19-2004 03:27 PM

Sil-Feanor
LOTR-Theoden

Gil-Galad, good idea to add the Sil. to this question. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Failivrin 01-19-2004 03:46 PM

LOTR- Faramir or Imrahil

The Sil.- Fingolfin

Silmiel of Imladris 01-19-2004 03:56 PM

I don't know much about the Sil but considering all the things I have heard about him I would choose Fingolfin.

LOTR: Thranduil because I think he has the potential to kick major butt. I know he wasn't really in there so if you what a more prominate character I would have to choose Elrond.

symestreem 01-19-2004 03:56 PM

Sil- Beleg, Tuor, or Earendil. Or Idril.
LotR- Hmm. Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, Faramir, Prince Imrahil... I'd fight beside any of them.

maikafanawen 01-19-2004 05:10 PM

Well I haven't read the Silmarilion, so from LotR I'd go with either Gandalf or Eomer. Gandalf because he is definitely one of my favorite characters and Eomer because I would most likely be on horseback. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Maikafanawen

QN_VICTORIA 01-19-2004 11:19 PM

FOR FUN: umm, probably Gimli, because I would have so much fun competing with him, seeing who killed more... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
FOR PROTECTION: Legolas, becuase he's a true Renissance man
REAL LIFE: Arwen and Eoywn, becuase simply...
GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

Everdawn 01-19-2004 11:54 PM

Do i need to say it, really?

LOTR: Éomer (woah, big surprise!) and Prince Imrahil.

I dont think i could be a foot soldier, Horseback for me as well.

Selmo 01-20-2004 04:22 AM

As a Hobbit, the thought of fighting fills me with horror.
In a battle, I'd probably act just like Bilbo in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Numenorean 01-20-2004 06:30 AM

Silmarillion :- Túrin Turambar (I like danger!)

2nd Age :- Elendil

LoTR :- Elladan & Elrohir (Given their Elvish skills and hardened Ranger mentalities I cant see anyone - good or evil besting them in combat during the 3rd Age)

william 01-21-2004 06:24 PM

woh im rusty lets seeee
LotR-The Shire (if it ever came under attack)(of course they had a little skirmish i mean real war)
Sil-Fingolfin

The Mushroom 02-13-2004 10:45 PM

In the Silm I would probably most like to fight alongside Beleg Strongbow (one of my very favorite elves). Or maybe I'd like to be in the service of Finrod (one of my other favorite elves).
In LOTR probably Theoden (riding horseback...cool!)

Alexus Varus 02-13-2004 11:51 PM

Id fight with Elrond in the last alliance. Sure id probably just be standing on the sidelines hoping not to get myself killed waving a flag cheering... It's the spirit that counts!

Hot, crispy nice hobbit 02-14-2004 05:58 AM

Heh, fighting is not my forte... speaking my mind is, however...

In the LOTR, I felt that the best person draw sword with would be Aragorn... since he would probably be king anyway, and would probably reward anyone who he deems heroic... :D It is probably a bad idea to fight alongside Sauron or Saruman because they won't give a fiddlestick about who are their allies.

In Silmarillion, it is probably a bad idea to fight alongside any faction at all... except for Eonwe, the Herald of Manwe.
:D The reason for this is that, almost all factions loose out in the end, and the only ones who finally benefited are the Numenoreans, who are supposed to represent the men who joined Eonwe...

In the Hobbit, the obvious thing to do would be to fight the orcs and share the treasure! ;)

Morgul Queen 02-22-2004 05:34 PM

The Silm: Feanor, Celebrimbor. (gotta love those two)
Rings: Theoden, Faramir.
Hobbit: Thranduil.
Last Alliance: Elrond.

Thorongil 02-23-2004 02:07 PM

Sil: Definately Turgon. I really like when the gates of Gondolin opens, and a shining army appears, that is just great!
2nd age: I'd probably sail around with Aldarion, because I like boats.
Lotr: That would be the Rohirrim. Riding like the wind in many days, and finally appear on the fields of Pelennor, blowing horns and filling Gondors people with hope. Truly a great moment!

Lhundulinwen 03-03-2004 06:02 PM

*Well, I guess I'm the only one, but in a hand-to-hand combat Sam because he would fight untill he was dead. (With pots and pans, too!)
*Legolas and Aragorn in a major battle because they are just so darn cute! No, really. Legolas never (well, hardly anyway) misses, and Aragorn is a kick-butt leader and great swordsman.
* And finally, Eowyn, Gimli, and Tom Bombadil or any of the eagles would be great too.
Haven't read the Sil. so, no oppion on that one.

The Perky Ent 03-04-2004 05:27 PM

Sil - Finwë
LOTR - The Balrog

I chose Finwë because...well...he's a awsomly cool elf. And I chose the Balrog because...well think about it. We could take on all the orcs at pelenor fields by our selves.

Thorongil 03-05-2004 04:34 AM

And the reason a balrog would attack a bunch of orcs is...

rutslegolas 03-05-2004 07:49 AM

sim-finglorfin

lotr-legolas

bilbo_baggins 03-05-2004 02:37 PM

Fighting baddies
 
sim. - azaghal ( isn't that the dwarf-king who killed the dragon?) I want to die nobly

LOTR - Gimli, he is just crazy!

Last Alliance - Elendil, it would be fun to throw myself on sauron shouting, "Taste cold steel, you big bully!"

lore_master 03-05-2004 03:23 PM

Sil.--finwe

LotR--Dain Ironfoot

Gil-Galad 03-05-2004 06:18 PM

Azaghal wounded Glaurung(crap forgot to spell) but died by the dragons blood

The Perky Ent 03-05-2004 06:35 PM

Well, the Balrog would have tons of reasons for fighting orcs! I mean, why do you think the orcs ran away in Moria when the Balrog showed? There is no longer an alliance! So Bill (my name for the Balrog Gandalf killed) and I would tear up every orc, mumakil, and Haradrim in Gondor!

Gil-Galad 03-09-2004 05:24 PM

In the appendices, it says that the Balrog gathered the orcs and trolls etc. so i would think that he would fight along his minions

Fingolfin II 04-04-2004 11:03 PM

Sil- I'd want to fight alongside Fëanor and Túrin, but then my commonsense would kick in and I'd do the sensible thing and stick with Fingon/Turgon (don't forget Fingolfin went nuts when he thought the Noldor lost completely- at least Turgon kept his head :)).

Lotr- Definitely Gandalf or Gil-galad.

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-05-2004 01:25 AM

First Age: Finrod, of course. :)

Or maybe Círdan. He founded the first amphibious assault team (Firth of Drengist - twice - and the Mouths of Sirion)

Second Age: Ciryatur. His army annihilated Sauron's forces. Cool. :cool:

Third Age: I love ships. Thorongil during the assault on the quays of Umbar.

Gil Galad 04-06-2004 06:24 PM

LOTR: Gandalf the White.

Sil:... Huan, the hound of Valinor. He kicked Sauron's butt at the gates of Tol-In-Gaurhoth

starkat 04-09-2004 05:04 PM

LotR- Eowyn and/or Aragorn

Etharius 04-22-2004 07:50 AM

LotR >>>>>>>> BOROMIR

I would gladly fight beside this man to the very end of all things.

ArathorofBarahir 04-22-2004 06:10 PM

I would either fight alongside Aragorn, Boromir or Faramir.

Etharius 04-23-2004 03:04 AM

Faramir didnt really have a place on the field of battle. Aragorn would be too suicidal for me. Plus i'd have orc blood all over me from his decapitations.

Lhundulinwen 04-24-2004 03:25 PM

In defense of Aragorn, every time he was in a major battle in LOTR, (all the ones I can think of), the odds against him were staggering. To win, he just about HAD to be willing to risk life and limb. And, well, in battles with orcs, you will be covered in blood no matter what you do, wouldn't you?

Gothmog 04-24-2004 06:16 PM

Sil- Beleg Cúthalion I think (a personal favourite)...Or how about Hurin, the greatest human warrior ever lived. (or Fingon or Turgon or Fingolfin or Turin or....)

LotR- Legolas I think. Absolutely NOT because of Orlando Bloom, but for his incredible skill with that bow of his...

The Hobbit- Bill (the troll). I think an allied in the size of a troll could come in handy in a battle :D

Gil-Galad 04-24-2004 10:27 PM

strange, i probaly would never fight for legolas...or ratehr beside him... i would gladly fight for Thranduil in the battle under the trees, meeting Celeborn in teh joint attack on Dol Guldur, priceless... but it would be suicide for Oropher, sinceh e charged head first at the black gates
