Characters that are often overlooked. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

No, Lurtz was an Uruk-hai. The orc that Phantom is talking about is a Moria-orc.

Though now I must say that I loved the bit with Lurtz licking his own blood off the knife-blade. That was freakin' awesome.

Arwen, because she is defined almost exclusively by her relationship with Aragorn. She is so mysterious. So hot.

Goldberry, once again, hot, mysterious, and merry. How does Tom keep her so happy?

Glorfindel, what was he all about? Brave, undoubtedly hot, and not a man of many words either.

And Theodred the hardly mentioned.

Poor b*****d.

I've never really thought of Glorfindel as an overlooked character (except when we're talking about the movies).

I thought everyone who read LOTR thought that ol' Findy was awesome and wanted to find out more about him.

And Lushy-poo- how could multiple "hot" characters be overlooked? It's a crime! It defies all logic.

But you kind of expect it since what, maybe 90% of Middle Earth's main characters were tall and good-looking.

Tolkien sure knew how to create a great world.

Lachwen...your comment on Fingolfin's wife sparked my curiosity. She is mentioned in the Peoples of Middle Earth, though rather briefly. Her name is Anaire, and she didn't leave Aman to go with Fingolfin into exile. That's about all that is said about her.
On that note, I think that most of the Elven wives are overlooked, with the exception of Galadriel and Melian. How many times do we hear how the gentler half of the Eldar influenced things?

Not just elven wives, but dwarven wives too (or women)!!!! Only Dis was mentioned, poor girl, stuck with all them dwarves.
