They do? And is that a reason for you to vote for him?

++Maedhros

I've heard women go for him. And he had guts, you gotta give him that. As if trying to wrestle the Silmarils away from Morgoth with an army behind him wasn't hard enough, he also tries to nick 'em from the victorious army of the Valar with only an artsy singer for help. A man of his word, truly.

So the legend goes. I thought of chopping off my hand many years ago but my wife was able to overcome the fact that I still had two so I figured I'd keep it.

I find Groin Redbeard's argument compelling.

And I like Sean Bean's Boromir portrayal in FOTR.

+ + Boromir.

I liked it too, but that has absolutely nothing bearing on this one here, right?

It's about the character in the books, not on who made him look nice in a movie by Hollywood.

Just think about Maedhros played in a blockbuster film by... Daniel Craig, or Alan Rickman... or whoever you wish, Johnny Depp?

That doesn't chance things.

Let's not let Boromir win because he's a movie-favourite because of Sean Bean or PJ. Let's go for the story of Maedhros by J.R.R.!

Hah, that's the reason I wish to do away with the third age characters...

Yet another tricky choice... but I think

++Maedhros

gets the southpaw vote.

That's also a sound argument!

Declared by another southpaw...

But better than making the vote because of just a movie actor - or not reading the Silm.!

I don't think I'm going to vote in this match. I can't stand the thought that my vote may send one of these two home.

Boromir was the most sane person in all of LotR. Maedhros was probably the most interesting Elf left in ME after his father bit it.

*sigh*

Does there have to be a loser here?

Tummy I may call you Skinner, as in Principal Seymore Skinner after that. This kind of warm-heartedness does not become you at all.
