Answer 1

Who is your favorite evil faction?

Well, I prefer some of the mythical creatures as opposed to whole fractions (the balrog, Shelob etc), however I would probably choose the Orcs who captured Merry and Pipen, since that makes some good reading.





Who is your favorite character?

Good? Theoden. Something about the way he died in number one really did it for me.

Bad? Saruman. His character is complete and wonderful. A beautiful creation of literacy.



Least favorite?

Good? The healer that briefly appears in The Return of the King.

Bad? Sauron-there's not enough about him.



Coolest weapon? Glamdring and Anduril.

Coolest scene? The are a lot of scenes to die for, some no better than the others. I enjoyed the Siege of Gondor immensely.

All around coolest character? Gandalf. His character is a wonderful addition to the book. He is one of my overall favorite literature characters.

Coolest creature? The balrog.

Answer 2

Favorite good faction: Rohirrim - or Riders of Rohan, whichever you prefer.

Favorite evil faction: The Nazgul

Favorite good character: Frodo/Sam for guys, Eowyn (who else?) for girls.

Favorite bad character: Smeagol. Does he count? If not, then Boromir? Does he count? Okay, if neither count then Grishnak.

Least favorite good: Denethor. Was he really good? He got on my nerves so much. If not, then Lobelia.

Least favorite bad: Bill Ferny.

Coolest weapon: Glamdring/Anduril. I also love Sting. And Galadriel's phial.

Coolest scene: Undefinable. There are so many. To name a few: The Choices of Master Samwise, The Fields of Pelennor, the Grey Havens, and that's just in the last book.

All around coolest character: What said earlier. I can't choose between them.

Coolest creature: Humans - because they have potential for bad, but so many choose good. Of course, dwarves have that option, too, as to other races. But I identify with humans, strangely enough :)

Answer 4

Faction: Hobbits and ents.

Evil Faction: The Black Riders

Favourite Character (good): Legolas. The line "Legolas' bow was singing" really got me on how powerful he was. But the towards two towers my favourite character was definetly Samwise Gamgee!

Favourite character(bad): Probably good old Gollum.

Least Favourite (good): Galadriral.I wasn't into that really.

Least favourite (bad): Saruman.

Coolest weapon: The Ring.

Coolest Scene: The morda scene really freaked me out. I actually got a bit of an adrenaline rush in the "we cannot get out, we cannot get out" So I guess it was the most affective scene.

Coolest Character: Aragorn. Kick ***.

Coolest Creature: Ents!!! I love them!
