I’m rewatching Lord of the Rings and can’t decide on who I like best ? I’m thinking Faramir is more moody....... decisions decisions

Neither. Eomer for me!

That bit where he puts the candle out with his fingers. One of my favourite movie moments. Strider all the way.

I always thought Gollum was strangely attractive, in his name and... well let's not go there....! 😛😜🤪😋🥵

Strider definitely.

@AsTreesWalking

Faramir every time - as he is in the book though, they get him wrong in the film!
Exactly!

Book Faramir is my favourite LotR character along with Eowyn. He is lovely!

Queenoftheashes · 04/09/2020 21:26

Aragorn over Faramir but Eomer overall. Also agree book Faramir much better than film Faramir - they made him a right twerp.
Also wouldn’t have turned down Frodo at the time.

YouWereGr8InLittleMenstruators · 04/09/2020 21:32

Aragorn.
I'd rather do Sam Gamgee than Faramir, Boromir, Eomer or Legolas. They do nothing for me.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 04/09/2020 21:37

I was really gutted that they didn't show the Faramir and Eowyn romance properly in the film, as Book Faramir was my teenage fictional character crush. But Film Faramir was a bit weedy and whiny. Aragorn didn't do it for me either, and Legolas was like a howling void with a blond wig on. I was reduced to squinting at Saruman and trying to pretend he was 1960s Christopher Lee 🤣

newyearnoeu · 04/09/2020 21:37

Strider in the films (agree king elessar is too clean and what's with the random singing?) But faramir in the books because he's lovely and Aragorn is a bit sexist (tells eomer by allowing eowyn to marry faramir he is giving away the fairest "Thing" in his realm 😡)

Dirty aragorn forever Wink

DianasLasso · 04/09/2020 21:40

Book Faramir. And TV Sharpe.

BillywilliamV · 04/09/2020 21:45

I fell in love with Faramir when I was 12 yrs old, that was in the book though. Not keen on the film one.

janetmendoza · 04/09/2020 21:47

Boromir than Aragorn

Hazelmazel · 04/09/2020 21:50

Absolutely Aragorn. I don't understand though how Viggo mortensen can be so ordinary looking and also be Aragorn.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 04/09/2020 21:53

How has no one mentioned film Thorin Oakenshield yet?

I’m also on team book Faramir and film Aragorn.

TisConfusion · 04/09/2020 22:05

Aragorn.
But also have a thing for Eomer.

SlashAndAShotOfBrainBleach · 04/09/2020 22:11

Quickly name changes (to hide dark secret passion for fanfiction) and sprints into the thread to say "Why choose? You can have both. With each other."

Throws head back and crows in a "mwa-ha-ha" sort of way. Sheepishly leaves bottle of brain bleach for the use of anyone who clicks on the link. Sidles back off the thread in embarrassment.

Sickoffamilydrama · 04/09/2020 22:20

OMG I forgot Karl Urban was in Lord of the rings. I found his mouth hypnotic in Judge Dredd honestly couldn't stop thinking about it 🤦‍♀️ picture for you all to appreciate.

I have to say I can't choose I'd not say no to any of them 🤣

Aragorn, then Eomer, then Kili. DH believes that he’s Aragorn and I’m Arwen
