Who would you fight along side!!! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In defense of Aragorn, every time he was in a major battle in LOTR, (all the ones I can think of), the odds against him were staggering. To win, he just about HAD to be willing to risk life and limb. And, well, in battles with orcs, you will be covered in blood no matter what you do, wouldn't you?

Gothmog · 04-24-2004, 06:16 PM

Sil- Beleg Cúthalion I think (a personal favourite)...Or how about Hurin, the greatest human warrior ever lived. (or Fingon or Turgon or Fingolfin or Turin or....)

LotR- Legolas I think. Absolutely NOT because of Orlando Bloom, but for his incredible skill with that bow of his...

The Hobbit- Bill (the troll). I think an allied in the size of a troll could come in handy in a battle

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:27 PM

strange, i probaly would never fight for legolas...or ratehr beside him... i would gladly fight for Thranduil in the battle under the trees, meeting Celeborn in teh joint attack on Dol Guldur, priceless... but it would be suicide for Oropher, sinceh e charged head first at the black gates

May I ask why not? Not to question your judgement, I'm just curious...

Gil-Galad · 04-25-2004, 03:07 PM

i honestly never thought of legolas as warrior....he was just there to do two things, look pretty and shoot stuff...

Gothmog · 04-25-2004, 03:24 PM

OK...I've seen him in another way, but I'm a big elf-fan so it might be because i've thought "oh, look an elven warrior in the fellowship, WOW"

Besides, I've always admired a good bowman (or bow-elf

). Everyone have their own opinion...

Gil-Galad · 04-25-2004, 03:26 PM

to me..battles are decided with huge numbers, not a bunch of really skilled people... wiping out raiding party after raiding party

Isowen · 08-06-2004, 02:30 PM

probably eowyn, she has a lot of courage and she is probably the best person in the battle of middle earth (besides eomer and aragorn etc)

Elven Hunter · 08-07-2004, 07:57 AM

If it was for fun I would fight beside Merry and Pippin.

But before that..

Drinks beer with them.. then goes to battlefield..

Me: (hiccup...) Umm.. What are we doing here again? (hiccup..)
Pippin: I don't know.. (hiccup..) One more glass please! (faints..)
Merry: Oh well.. (hiccup..) If we can't beat them join themmm...

We all faint..

But seriously, I would love to fight with either Faramir or Gimli.

The Perky Ent · 08-24-2004, 09:06 PM

I'll tell you someone I don't wanna fight against! Hurin! I'd be trying to focus, and he'd just keel shouting 'Aure entuluva! Day shall come again!'

Boromir88 · 08-24-2004, 09:14 PM

lol Perky, yes I think I would get distracted too, or maybe even jealous, slaying all them trolls.

For me, it might be Imrahil and the glorious knights of Dol Amroth. It was said only Imrahil's men and the strongest lads of Gondor could withstand the nazgul shriek, so if I was in the siege of Gondor battle, I would definately want to fight under Imrahil to be able to withstand the sound.

The Witch King, definently

Zebedee · 09-18-2004, 08:25 AM

Treebeard! I would just sit on his shoulder and shoot stuff while he crushes enemies.

Amrod the Hunter · 11-27-2004, 12:31 PM

Sil-Fingolfin,because he is the braves t of or elves,or Feanor,who is said to great in battle.I mean,even if he died,it was because of foolishness,not lack of skills.

Lotr-Aragorn,because he is king,and he is great in battle or Gimli,who is also almost undefeatable.But,the biggest fun would be fighting along side Pippin,who is confused and doesn't know what is happening.The bad thing is that both of us would end up dead.
