Middle-earth Bad Popularity Cup - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nerwen · 03-02-2009, 02:34 AM

Okay, okay.... As a fanatical ww player, I think I'll vote

++Sauron

...though how anyone can prefer those Pernese pet dragons to Smaug is beyond me.

By the way, Steve, who's Bolbo?

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-02-2009, 07:57 AM

Smaug-4 Sauron-2

Next:
Glaurung vs. Mr. W. Huggins

Morthoron · 03-02-2009, 08:58 PM

++Glaurung

He would smoke Bill like a cheap cigar.

Eönwë · 03-03-2009, 05:20 PM

++Glaurung

Need I say more?

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-03-2009, 10:56 PM

+ + William

Because he's (relatively) nice to
burrahobbits.

the phantom · 03-05-2009, 11:28 PM

I like William, and I'd also like to see diversity in the final rounds (we already have a dragon through).

But... really...

++Glaurung

I just can't go the other way in this match up.

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-06-2009, 08:14 AM

That was just a test... yes, a test.... to see if anyone else is alert enough to vote properly.

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-06-2009, 02:09 PM

Glaurung-5 William-1 (poor blighter)

Next: Grima Wormtongue vs. Morgoth

Durelin · 03-06-2009, 07:04 PM

++Morgoth

Yeah. Also, Grima's not evil enough to move any further in this contest.

Morthoron · 03-06-2009, 08:39 PM

++Morgoth

Hey, he's the Once and Future Evil. He'll be back for Tolkien's version of Ragnarok, and as Durelin said, Grima is only semi-evil or evil-lite.

Nerwen · 03-07-2009, 04:05 AM

++Morgoth

Poor Wormtongue is simply outclassed.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-07-2009, 06:46 AM

You've got to be kidding. Morgoth? He is not half as interesting as Gríma. Come on! Gríma:

1. Throws Palantír out of the window
2. Stabs Saruman
3. Looks at Gandalf like mad when he asks him whether he does not want to leave Saruman
4. Eats Lotho (okay, we didn't want to hear that)
5. Was a noble of Rohan (combine with the one above) and served his master honestly in the beginning
6. Was seen riding with a group of Orcs
7. is son of Gálmód, which just sounds too cool
8. was being picked up from the saddle by Treebeard and later, he was swimming to Orthanc.

And, eventually, in one version of the Hunt of the Ring, he was caught and intimidated by the Black Riders, WK himself, no less.

Morgoth was just a Dark Lord. We have seen many of those, he invented lots of interesting dragons and such, but then, that's just his job. Gríma is a MAN with a LIFE. He is very interesting.

++Gríma Wormtongue
