Strange reasons to like certain characters. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My Cat Sasha · 12-27-2002, 07:17 PM

I just thought I'd start this topic because my mom's favorite characters are Aragorn, Legolas, Awren, and Sarumon because they all have good hair. It's kind of weird. What are some other reasons to like certain characters?

Aw, cool!

Anborn, cause he can say "squirrel" five times in one paragraph. The man's obsessed. Squirrel this, squirrel that! Makes you appreciate what a funny word "squirrel" is!

Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! PLATYPUS!

Aragorn_Protector · 12-28-2002, 12:50 PM

I like Sam becaus he dosn't like Gollum umung other reasons

Ar-Gilien · 12-28-2002, 02:46 PM

Fav Character: The Witch-King of Angband aka The Leader of the Nazgul, Black Captain of the Ring-Wraiths.

Why: He's tenacious, single-minded of purpose, deadly when he sees what he wants, and he's just so dern evil. I mean, doesn't everyone want a Nazgul chasing them all over Middle Earth for a Ring of Power? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hey, don't you think Gollum is like an extremely creepy version of Elmo (from Seasame Street)? Erm, yeah... just a thought....

LOL! I can just see that!

[i]The Ring came to the creature Elmo who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there it consumed him.

Elmo: My precioussssssss![i]

Ar-Gilien · 12-28-2002, 05:17 PM

Does that mean the new toy out for next christmas is going to be "Tickle Me Gollum"?

"Yessss, my preciousss..that tickleses usss!" <Insert creepy laughter>

Yes! Of course. He's a wonderful role modle for small children! Oooooo! You could also make a "Tickly Me Smeagol!" It would be pretty much the same as the Gollum version, only the box would say "Smeagol."

maybe that's why I can't stand Gollum so much. Sam's the only sane one out of those three, that's why I like him.

Gorwingel · 12-28-2002, 06:22 PM

Love the Tickle me Gollum idea, LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I also do like Legolas and Galadriel, because they have good hair, and she has great clothing.

And people may think this is crazy, but I really like the hobbits hair [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 12-28-2002, 07:46 PM

Gollum - Elmo? Somehow I just don't see that. Tickle me Gollum? That would scare me! Think about it, most kids who would have that would have maybe read the Hobbit, but probebly not LOTR. Think about it.

Ar-Gilien · 12-28-2002, 09:11 PM

All silliness aside, I have always been fascinated by Earendil, the Mariner, who sailed to the Western Lands of Valinor seeking help against Sauron. What a voyage that must have been! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, they both have big round heads and talk in more or less the same way ("Gollum hatesss nasssty hobbitses" "Elmo loves you!"). Think about it.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Meela · 12-29-2002, 02:34 PM

anyone else love Grima Wormtongue? And not just his character personality, great as it is. i seem to be the only person who sees a picture of Brad Dourif playing him in the movie and melts into a puddle of drool. and i think it might be because of his lack of eyebrows... althugh i absolutely love his hair... him in general... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel · 12-29-2002, 04:58 PM

*Blushes* I started liking Haldir after The Two Towers for obvious reasons.

Why is it that the death of a character always makes them better to me? I mean, I suddenly started thinking of him as...sexy. Do you ever feel that way? Now, whenever I read about him or see him (even in Fellowship...) I start crying...even though it's not the same in the movie as the books...when I read about him in the end of the books, I still cry...it's weird...

Oh, but Legolas is still my favorite character. And that is because when I was nine, I thought all attractive, mystical races were cool, and ergo Legolas was cool and I decided I was going to marry him and become Queen of Mirkwood. Now, six years later, I still like him because you do not get rid of an obsession like the one I had with him that easily!

I like Merry because we never hear of him marrying. There´s still hope. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
And I like Lobelia for being all creepy and nasty to Frodo. My soulmate!! I´d have done it. 24/7 if you want me to. There´s no need to pay me.... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
I like Eowyn for loving Aragorn&Faramir. Another soulmate.

*blushes*And I like Aragorn.... in the movie, especially.... why? What do you think?? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Sorry.

I really like Gollum myself. You know in TTT where Gollum and Smeagol are arguing amongst themselves? Well at the spot where Smeagol says "no" (just no nothing else) he reminds me of this guy I've been friends with for 5 years. Crazy right? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

oh my gosh, yes! now that i think about it. Anyway, for some reason I like Frodo because of the way he screams. like when he got stabbed by the Ringwraith King and came out of the "shadow world" by taking off the ring? i really like that scream there....i dont know why.
aragorn has good hair?????

Meela · 12-30-2002, 02:08 PM

Uh... Merry got married... to Estella Bolger...

Artanis · 01-01-2003, 01:04 AM

Aragorn has GREAT hair! It's just that all you people are prejuduced against dirt and blood and sweat!

dragoneyes · 01-01-2003, 03:36 AM

see the sig.

Helkahothion · 01-01-2003, 01:54 PM

I like all elf's in particulair. And I don't just like them if you know what I mean. It's not only because of Orlando and Liv and the other Elf character's, (altough it improves it a lot) it's just the mystery all around them. Give just one elf and he/she is mine.

Eowyn definitely. I just love her [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Probably because I'm a bit of a feminist. And then (book)Faramir for obvious reasons and 'cos if you're going to play Eowyn who else are you going to fall (eternally) in love with. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (I'm a bit of a romantic too)

VanimaEdhel · 02-19-2003, 06:30 PM

I like Emeldir because she...well: was the mother of Beren, and I love that story...but also because she was a strong character (well, she seemed to be: she was a very small character as well). I also liked Huan, Beren, and Luthien.

A strange dislike is mine of Turin. I mean Beren had horrible misfortune too, but he wasn't so depressing as Turin was. I think that, had there been Prozac, it would have done wonders for Turin...

Helkahothion · 02-20-2003, 08:57 AM

Speaking about Beren, I have something that bug's me. Was he or wassn't he married to Luthien. Is Luthien a woman anyway?

Greetings,

Anuion

P.S. This is probably a newbie question, but I only read Lotr.

LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] *falls over laughing hysterically, then recovers and brushes off* Tickle me Gollum..... I like it. Although I Kinda like Celeborn, 'cause he's got an attitude, and nobody else likes 'im. But not even THAT reason warrants liking Wormtongue. I feel sorry for the guy.

Beren was a human, Luthien was an elf. She gave up immortality for him. I could write for Reader's Digest!

I'm about...oh, a 1/3 through the Silm, and yes Huan is awesome! Hee hee hee he kicked Sauron's arse!! Go doggy!
Never knew Celeborn was named after a tree...
I also like Luthien because she had the bravery to do what nobody else did: she went to Tol Sirion and faced Sauron, all because of her love for Beren.
I absolutely disliked (hate is too strong a word) Feanor. He left his kin and burned the ships! Grr!

Meela · 02-20-2003, 11:34 AM

*jumps up and down waving her hands*

Faenaduial · 02-20-2003, 11:47 AM

Glorfindel was my favorite character for years. I just loved his description and the whole scene with him. I was always sorry that he was not the elf chosen to be a member of the fellowship.

However, now that I've seen Legolas in the movie I couldn't care less about Glorfindel.

Sorry I must be fickle. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I thoroughly agree; Turin *was* very depressing. He was the one that killed Glaurung, too, I believe. (just finished Silmarillion for the first time, and am still confused as to some events)

I, personally, like Sauron, in both Silm, and LotR. He so......sneaky. He's not the kind of bad guy that just uses force to achieve what he wants, he thinks everything out. More of a psychological villan, which I admire. If I was a villan, that's the kind I'd want to be. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Plus, in LotR (the movies) that Eye is just way too cool. C'mon, who wouldn't want a fiery, all-seeing Eyeball sitting on top of their house?!

VanimaEdhel · 02-20-2003, 05:38 PM

Beren and Luthien are also the great grandparents of Elrond and Elros (and also, in turn the many, many "greats"-grandparents of Aragorn). That is why Arwen could choose immortality: she was considered half-Elven. She just had to decide before her father sailed over to the Grey Havens.

Glorfindel is a great character that I like, mainly because of how great he was and, although his character was noble enough so as to be reincarnated, they still leave him out of every adaptation of Lord of the Rings...

I like Saruman, Gandalf, Frodo, and Sam (in the books) because they have staffs. Sticks. They are the easiest prop/weapon to recreate when playing "Fellowship" outside in the woods, so I usually end up playing one of those characters, simply because there's a lot of sticks lying around the woods. Man, what's up with all these sticks? You'd think they grew on trees or something.

Lady Alasse · 02-20-2003, 08:35 PM

Earendil is one of my favorites - I think it's so neat how he brought the simaril to the valar and then took it with him when he went sailing through the heavens.

Anyway, I love Faramir for being so wonderful and then Peter jackson had to just wreck it! i was spitting flames about that...........

Hee hee hee he kicked Sauron's arse!! Go doggy! Never knew Celeborn was named after a tree... I also like Luthien because she had the bravery to do what nobody else did: she went to Tol Sirion and faced Sauron, all because of her love for Beren. I absolutely disliked (hate is too strong a word) Feanor. He left his kin and burned the ships!

I was always sorry that he was not the elf chosen to be a member of the fellowship. However, now that I've seen Legolas in the movie I couldn't care less about Glorfindel. Sorry I must be fickle.

That is why Arwen could choose immortality: she was considered half-Elven. She just had to decide before her father sailed over to the Grey Havens. Glorfindel is a great character that I like, mainly because of how great he was and, although his character was noble enough so as to be reincarnated, they still leave him out of every adaptation of Lord of the Rings...

Sticks. They are the easiest prop/weapon to recreate when playing "Fellowship" outside in the woods, so I usually end up playing one of those characters, simply because there's a lot of sticks lying around the woods. Man, what's up with all these sticks? You'd think they grew on trees or something. __________________ Neo, watch out! Trinity's going to steal your pants! Pants thief! Pants thief!
