Well neither one is here now are they...so he is rather useless. He's neither a good serious nor a good funny. He tries to balance the two but fails horribly.

Let me add to my Merry argument. He essentially is neither here nor there. He's, as I said, moderately funny but not enough to keep neither is he serious enough to be kept for his depth. He's not exactly dumb, and we can find some charm in dumb or slow witted characters, but he's not really intelligent either. He's not a blundering nincompoop on the battle field, well at least by the end, but he's no master strategist either and do NOT tell me the Scouring of the Shire plan was a stroke of genius, he simply blew his horn and had the hobbits out number the ruffians. He's neither repugnant morally nor is he scrupulous.

The sum of it is: Merry is just plain and average and nothing he does can change that. There's really only a sense of mediocre blah when it comes to Merry and that my friends is a rating killer plain and simple.

Just see the scope of the argument we are having with Middle-Earth based chartacters! That's too good to be wasted while characters like Princess Pam still live in the game!

Why are we wishing to do away with them so hastily as we could just calmly kill those minor works types (well, possibly first not including Chrysophylax - it's a dragon anyway, or Goldberry - she's in the LotR anyway).

Just do away with those not ME-related figures first and then release the battle of the "real personas"...

Sorry to look one-sided, but I can't help myself. I could give seven Pams and thirteen Alfs for one Manwë.

Perhaps there are those who like the minor works characters as well.

I'm most convinced about you being one...
