to think Thorin Oakenshield is WAY WAY hotter than Aragorn?

As played by Richard Armitage and Viggo Mortensen respectively.

I don't think Thorin would even be that much shorter than me Grin

He is gorgeous. I love that dawn French got to snog his face off (and marry him!) in the Vicar of Dibley Grin

FryOneFatManic · 08/01/2013 19:21

Have to say, RA doesn't actually do anything for me when not in Thorin costume.

IncognitoIsMyFavouriteWord · 08/01/2013 19:21

vigo isn't fit unless he's aragorn.

Richard armitage is better but not my type but I weighed this one up while watching the hobbit on Christmas eve.

so aragorn is fitter than thorin but Richard is fitter than vigo Grin

MrsGeologist · 08/01/2013 19:22

My friend was complaining that Thorin was too attractive. He's certainly not rugged and handsome in the book.

I think Kili is better.

ThalianotFailure · 08/01/2013 19:25

no, not a Thalia - it's from the Antonia Forest school stories, Autumn Term etc.

I missed RA in Spooks, I ditched it after Matthew McFadyen left

ThalianotFailure · 08/01/2013 19:27

Hobbitation - are all those half-nekkid pics from Spooks? I shall have to watch it, though annoyingly I do kind of know the plot.

Hobbitation · 08/01/2013 19:33

Yes, some from Spooks. The sex scenes are from Between The Sheets. It's not my tumblr I should add, I'm not that clever!

PretzelTime · 08/01/2013 19:35

I admit to being a little disappointed that Thorin and the others don't look like grey-bearded Gimlis like in the book.

But I guess the more handsome versions makes for a better viewing experience and more cash for the movie.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 08/01/2013 19:36

Don't so bloody ridiculous Shock! How very dare you.

He's a dwarf whereas Aragorn is all man

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 08/01/2013 19:37

And as for Boromir.....

Mayisout · 08/01/2013 19:38

Aragorn was fab in the first movie but sadly a bit less rugged looking by the last film.

PretzelTime · 08/01/2013 19:43

Thorin vs Aragorn - who do you think has the best singing voice?

Mayisout · 08/01/2013 19:45

Thorin is unusually good-looking for a dwarf omg am I leaving myself open to dwarfist accusations but he is def not the sharpest crayon in the box.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2013 19:48

YABU.

I'm having Kili AND Aragorn by the way - you can keep Thorin. I'll have Aragorn for the brains and kili for being generally v v cute (and far too young).

AutumnMadness · 08/01/2013 19:51

Mayisout, hmmm, good point. This swung it for me towards Aragorn. Although Thorin is really very very very hot.

AutumnMadness · 08/01/2013 19:53

btw, wtf with body hair in Peter Jackson's films? The hobbit feet should be covered with curly fur (would look bloody better this way too!) and many dwarf beards are waaaaay too short.

IwantaPetFox · 08/01/2013 19:55

Well this thread grew in my absence! Looking forward to checking out that tumblr link when I get home (am on phone).

Then deleting my browser history like a dude.

Incidentally, did anyone else notice the hobbits' feet in The Hobbit compared to LOTR? Much bigger and hairier and generally weirder.

AutumnMadness · 08/01/2013 19:58

Were they? Oh god. They just all look horrid to me. Cover them with fur like they should be!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2013 19:59

Martin whojamaflip's feet were hideous.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2013 19:59

And so was his acting, to be frank.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 08/01/2013 20:02

NO! I thought he was pretty good! Certainly better than Wet Pants Elijah Wood.

twinklesparkles · 08/01/2013 20:31

YABVVVVU!!

Viggo mortensen = yummy yummy yum yum

:)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2013 20:33

Oh Elijah Wood is bloomin' awful. All he does is roll his eyes and look dim. But Martin thingie was all puff chested and worthy and pompous - I hated him.
