Who's your fav. character? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Laurelin · 04-03-2002, 08:32 AM

My fav. character is Tom Bombadil is anyone else mad about him not being in the movie??!!

alaklondewen · 04-03-2002, 09:30 AM

I too was disappointed with his absence. I do understand somewhat the reason. A lot of people saw the movie without reading the book. The general audience would not have understood his role, and if you look at some of the topics lately, neither do we. He is absolutely one of the most debated characters in Tolkien's work. I think the scenes with him would have been lost on the 'non-reading' audience.

I would have liked to have seen what Peter Jackson could do with him (and Goldberry).

Welcome to the 'Downs! I hope you enjoy it here! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I was okay with it, coz I like Aragorn, Galadriel and the Nazgul...

Nevtalathiel · 04-03-2002, 10:33 AM

Well, Vinyacairwen, you're lucky, cos you can't really leave any of them out! This isn't to do with favourite characters (I don't really have one) but they never go given lembas in the film, so what are they going to live on? Sam and Frodo won't ever get to Mount Doom, they'll starve on the way!

Vinyacairwen · 04-03-2002, 05:26 PM

Maybe they /did/ get lembas...for instance, I don't think they ever mentioned (in the movie) that Sam's beloved pony was named Bill until they had to let them go...maybe it would be like for the lembas..? Like they just suddenly have it... :\
But if they don't,, I could understand some reasons why Peter Jackson wouldn't include it.
Just when /I/ think of lembas, I think of 'healing potions' and things from PS games, so...it's kinna funny O.o.

Laurelin · 04-03-2002, 05:46 PM

I see what u mean about TB but I still would of liked to have seen him in the movie. But anyways I still like other characters in the movie like FRODO, he is so CUTE!!!!!!

Bramblerose Gamgee-Took · 04-03-2002, 08:19 PM

My favourite character was Pippin and Merry, so I wasnt annoyed, becasue they couldnt exactly not put them in.

I was thinking about the Lembas thing. How are they going to introduce them in if they didnt show them giving them to them.

I would of loved for them to try and portray Tom Bombadil

Elven-Maiden · 04-04-2002, 11:34 AM

I luv Pippin! He's so sweet and funny and stupid! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Laurelin · 04-04-2002, 05:08 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] your right Pippen and Merry are quite stupid but your going to need a little humor in a movie like this one. Anywho who else thinks Borimir was a little DRAB?

Vinyacairwen · 04-04-2002, 05:24 PM

::back to the lembas thing:: But they never really mentioned the pony's name was Bill 'til the end, either [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

04-04-2002, 05:32 PM

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I thought Aragon Legolas and Frodo were cute especially Aragon. It is to bad that they left Tom Bombadil out but I guess when u have a certain amount of film u can't really add stuff. Pippin and Merry were stupid but thats what made it funny. And now that u people mention it they didn't show the lembas or them getting gifts which sucked bt hey.

Vinyacairwen · 04-04-2002, 05:38 PM

I don't remember this in the movie, but in the FOTR trailer (which I watch a lot.. ::heheh: [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img], they show some Elves of the Lorien (excuse my lack of accent marks) looking very ceremoniel stepping up to each of the Fellowship. You don't really get a good view, but maybe they were giving them gifts :\..? Mm.

The trailer is somewhere in there...

My fave character is Aragorn

ElanorGamgee · 04-04-2002, 06:20 PM

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite character. I love Frodo's dedication to the quest, Sam's love for his master, Pippin's silliness, Merry's sarcastic humor, and Bilbo's eccentricity. I just love the hobbits!

04-04-2002, 06:30 PM

Pippen

04-04-2002, 06:31 PM

And GANDALF

Child of the 7th Age · 04-05-2002, 12:42 AM

Male Character: Frodo

Female Character: Galadriel [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

04-07-2002, 04:27 PM

My favorite character in the book is Tom Bombadil. It didn't bother me that PJ decided to cut him out though. It's reasonable considering the many things he would of had to explained for film goers to understand the character, which would have made the film even longer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

04-12-2002, 12:56 PM

I'm re-reading LOTR after many years. I'm just over half-way through FOTR, and so far my favorite characters are Goldberry and Tom Bombadil. They're so cheerful and carefree!

Maikadilwen · 04-12-2002, 01:34 PM

I really like Glorfindel, and in some ways it's bothering me that Arwen took over his part. It wasn't made for her. But anyway, I can't really say that I have a fave character. I like all of them for being who they are. But I guess I have a weakness for the Nazgûl. They're sweet. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Starbreeze · 04-12-2002, 01:57 PM

Hmmm, I like them all, 'specially Gollum and Saruman, but I like the elves a lot, and hobbits are cool, as are the Nazgul....hmm, decisions decisions!

Ms. Took · 04-12-2002, 03:54 PM

Pippin is the best

Tigerlily Gamgee · 04-13-2002, 12:29 AM

Well, I love the Hobbits the most, and my favorite Hobbit is Frodo. I love all of them, though.
Also, Galadriel is starting to grow on me a bit. She's my favorite Elf.

pippin_took0 · 04-16-2002, 12:41 PM

My favourite character is Pippin! I love Pippin!
Apparently PJ was going to have the hobbits going through a wood and hearing Tom singing and seeing his hat in the trees, then the hobbits running away, just to acknowledge Tom bombadil for the people who ahd read the books, but there wasn't time for him [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

BoromirTheBold · 04-16-2002, 01:04 PM

Hmmmmmmm....... Already posted to a question of this sort once.... BUt I'll do it again.... and again..... and again.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

From the books....... My #1 favorite character all around, books 1-3 & movie is Pippin. Gandalf the Grey would not have become Gandalf the White if Pippin hadn't been the curious little fart he is and tossed the rock down the well. And no Gandalf the White, the whole army of Rohan is, well, screwed. Maybe even the armies of Gondor, also.

BUT... BOROMIR IS NOT DRAB! Boromir is awesome! If he hadn't have come along, Frodo and Sam probably wouldn't have made the choice to leave alone as quickly, and then where would the story be??? Besides, he is the most human of the whole story! And then his brother, Faramir... I can't wait to see PJ's Boro/Faramir flashbacks....

04-16-2002, 02:32 PM

PIPPIN PIPPIN is sooooooo wonderful, but I think that all the characters are wonderful, Oh and I suppose GOLLUM is one of my favourites too fisch nice fisch [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Wormtongue · 04-17-2002, 06:46 PM

Greetings all!
I identify with Gimli the best! I'm re-reading the story yet again (haven't in eight years or so, t'was about time!) and I find myself broad of smile when Gimli graces the page. That steadfast proud Dwarf is a pillar (stump?) of constitution and his friendship with Legolas is admirable.
I haven't yet seen the movie (long story) so I still share Tolkien's image of the characters as he portrays them. I don't really know if I want to soil my mind with Jackson's imagery. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Laurelin · 04-19-2002, 04:12 PM

Right now my fav. charater is Tom B. which you all know. But Aowen is starting to grow on me so to speak she looks so cool in the movie. And if you haven't seen TTT trailer yet STOP PLAYING ON THE COMPUTER MOVE YOUR BIG BUTT TO THE MOVIE THEATER RIGHT NOW AND WATCH THE TT TRAILER OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It looks so cool. Even though I think they show to much of Gandalf I mean it shoud be a suprise. And Gollum looks so COOL and so does TREEBEARD. Can't wait till movie comes out!!!!!!!!!!

VanimaEdhel · 04-19-2002, 05:02 PM

Yes: this question has been posted many, many, many, many (many, many, many, many...) times, but...it is becoming a Goldie Oldie!

Do you mean FotR or LotR orTolkien in general?

Well: in FotR, my favorite character is Goldberry...oh: and Bill the Pony

In LotR I like Legolas (he wasn't much in the 1st book, but...I like him in the 2nd and 3rd books) and I like Eowyn.

In The Sil (I'm about 4/5 through it now), so far I like Emeldir, Melian, Luthien, and Huan (gotta love talking hounds! I love Huan so much!)

04-20-2002, 08:34 AM

In FotR, I like Sam, Pippin, and Boromir. I love Sam, but Boromir is really the most beautiful character in the book. I think so, anyway.

Elenya · 04-20-2002, 09:28 AM

Pippin: I love his stupidity (kinda like mine) For any other Pippin fans, pop by The Newcomers section, and look for Pippin's Top Secret Diary

Lyliac · 04-20-2002, 07:21 PM

Beren, or maybe Luthien, because of their devoted love toward each other. I also like Aragorn and Gandalf, though.

Raefindel · 04-20-2002, 07:41 PM

Bombur! He's my Idol! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

eleniwilwarin · 04-21-2002, 11:19 AM

i like, Beren, Lúthien, Legolas, Eärendil and more i think it is hard to choose one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

gollum*elf*pup · 04-23-2002, 03:51 PM

my favourite character was gollum, then eowyn. why doesn't anyone like her? she's amazing! oh well. GOLLUM IS THE BEST!

i also think boromir is very boring and in the movie, he was such a big crybaby!

GO GOLLUM!

Laurelin · 04-24-2002, 07:21 PM

This is for Raefindel I absolutly love Bomber as a matter of fact he is one of my fav. characters. But I guess with the movie coming out and me reading the books I kinda forgot about. Boo hiss me I know. I like Bomber so much I had my mom make me a red cloak like his in the Hobbit.

Laurelin · 06-11-2002, 04:22 PM

I haven't forgoten about Eowyn.As a mater of fact I know a lot of people who absolutly love Eowyn. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Eruwen · 06-11-2002, 04:37 PM

I love Pippin! He is definitly my favorite!! He is so crazy and hilarious. Actually, he kinda reminds me of one of my friends from my driver's ed class. {Except with hairy feet}. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Child of the 7th Age · 06-11-2002, 04:45 PM

Several in this thread have said Pippin or Merry are "stupid". No, no, no!

They were young and inexperienced, sometimes impetuous, and had not been exposed to a lot of things outside the Shire, but they certainly weren't stupid.

Just look at the way they handled their situation when they were captured by the Orcs, and in the scenes immediately thereafter. They kept their heads and did a lot of things which increased their likelihood of survival.

Also, note how both of them fared later in the book when they pledged their servce, Merry to Theoden and Pippin to Denethor. They showed bravery and insight. Without Pippin, Faramir might have been killed, and, without Merry, the Lord of the Nazgul would not have been slain.

Sam had a natural sense of what it meant to serve because of his situation in life. Merry and Pippin had to learn this step-by-step along the way, since, as the sons of wealty families, they had far less experience in this regard. But they proved very able learners.

Also, look at the leadership role they both took in the Scouring of the Shire. Frodo was too hurt to act as a leader here, so Merry and Pippin took on the job. Moreover, Gandalf was able to let the hobbits go their own way, precisely because he knew they had grown enough to handle things on their own.

Sure they made some goofs along the way, but who doesn't?

So, no way were they "stupid". Anyways, Frodo is my favorite character, and no way does he chose friends who would be stupid!!!! Especially since he was fairly reserved and picky about this friends (at least this comes over in the book).

piosenniel · 06-11-2002, 04:59 PM

I enjoyed the fact in the books that Merry and Pippin started out as fun-loving young hobbits with all the characteristics of youngsters, who we then get to see mature into really good representatives of their community.

My favorite character, the one I wanted to know a little more back-story on, was Gildor Inglorion, the leader of the Wandering Company of elves.

In The Sil (I'm about 4/5 through it now), so far I like Emeldir, Melian, Luthien, and Huan (gotta love talking hounds! I love Huan so much!) __________________ "I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time." - Hobbes of Calvin and Hobbes

I also like Aragorn and Gandalf, though. __________________ "Atheism is a non-prophet organization" [img] C:\Documents and Settings\user1\My Documents\My Pictures\sig1.gif [/img]

But I guess with the movie coming out and me reading the books I kinda forgot about. Boo hiss me I know. I like Bomber so much I had my mom make me a red cloak like his in the Hobbit. __________________ It's all greek to me!! PIZAZZZ!!
