Who would you fight alongside? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What a fun question!

By all means I'd fight alongside Gimli, although our height difference might a problem, it would be more like a game with him. All that I'd have to do is watch what I'm doing, no need to worry about him!

If I couldn't fight next to him, I'd like to be one of the soldiers defending the city with Gandalf.

Oooh! What a fun old thread!

Aragorn, no doubt about it. He has the best posse. And I like the way he speaks.

Eowyn or Boromir, for me.

Eowyn for proving that "War is the world of men" (quoted by Eomer I think) is not necessarily true at all, especially after removing her helmet and telling the Nazgul King "I am no man!"

Boromir, because he is a genuine leader of men, loyal, passionate, determined and - if it were not for the Ring - a truly spirited indivdual who will always support the good over the bad.

I'd like to be side by side with Gimli at Helm's Deep.

Dwarves are the most stalwart of companions, and I like their personality and culture. Of all the people of ME, I would fit in best with them.

i would like to be a soldier of gondor because they are brave, proud, strong, loyal, they have really awesome Armour, plus they have the city which means a wall that i could shoot from.

You did watch the movie...right?

I too would stand beside Boromir, as he seems like a guy that would have your back as well as share a mug of ale with you. Aragorn's companions in battle fared not as well, and he was a little on the moody side, 'cept when he was being kissed by a horse.

Boromir or Faramir, primarily because they're good in a fight, fine strategists, passionate for their people & lands. Boromir, especially because he seems like one of the lads up for a few drinks down the local tavern, followed by ye olde kebab & chips for afters
