Favorite movie character not in the books. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh, Irolas! He was my other favourite. He was supposed to be Beregond, surely.

So, they change Beregond's character, the only person with the guts to stand up to Denethor to a brown noser? Hmmm, it's something they would do, lol

I had drawn up a shortlist of who would be the first person to point out to me that Gamling was in the books. I did not choose correctly....

Nevertheless, he is a completely different character, with a different age, and a different role. He counts as an invention with a name from the books.

Now, I haven't been on any official sites, but can you guarantee that those were two different characters, one called Mablung and one called Madril? If true, I did not notice.

Hmm,

I'd have to say that one of my favorite non-book characters appeared in RotK. It's during the attack on Minas Tirith, when the orcs are catapaulting rocks at the city, and the city is catapaulting chunks of itself right back.

Well, remember the part when Gothmog nearly misses being crushed? Well I love the troll-thing that is next to him, the one that whimpers and looks inquisitively at Gothmog. He makes a quirky noise like "Mrrouhh?" If it is possible for a troll to be cute, I'd say he that's what he is. :P

Wow, that was a long explanation for... something insignificant, heh.

Yes, Eomer, two different people. Mablung has long dark hair, and a dark goatee, he breaks in when Faramir just finds out Frodo has the ring. "Osgiliath calls for reinforcements."

Madril looks similar, with long hair, but it's grayer. He's the one that was like "if you let him go your life will be forfeit." Then Gothmog jabs him with a spear in ROTK, right before Faramir retreats from Osgiliath.

Here's some pictures for you....

Madril

Mablung

My apologies Boro. I can easily let you know where my confusion was coming from here.

I did not even know that 'Mablung' existed! He went by without my noticing.

So, if I can clarify my original post, my picks for best invented characters are Gamling and Madril.
