The Middle Earth Popularity Cup

I will also vote.

While Lommy (yes, that Gorlim and Eilinel episode was delightfully diabolical) and the Phantom (I agree, on a level playing-field Sauron would have won but Eru messed things up for him real good) have come up with great arguments in favour of Sauron, I still have to side with Tuor. He's not boring to me at all and I feel I get into his head pretty well reading the long prose-tale. I, like Aganzir, enjoy his wanderings as an outlaw in the wild, his appreciation of the beauty of Middle Earth, particularly the sea, and his strong desire for freedom. It's a real shame JRRT never got around to finish the Tuor-tale.

Unlike other good characters such as Aragorn and Faramir, Tuor doesn't do "the right thing" as a natural necessity either; his basic character is quite like his cousin Turin I think, but unlike him he learns from mistakes and accepts good advice, making him grow.
