-.snickers at poll results.- well, I see this thread has had its share of Leggy fangirls... stare
But anyway...I've always said that Frodo is my favorite character, but I guess that was only because he was played by Elijah Wood, my favorite actor. Don't get me wrong, Frodo is there among my top five favorite characters, in fact I adore all the protagonists will all my heart.
However, in this poll I opted to vote for Aragorn as my favorite character. Aside from the fact that I think Viggo Mortensen is a great actor, the character of Aragorn himself is an amazing person. Selfless, strong, and wise, he moved on from his life as a Ranger and ascended to his birthright as the King of Gondor. Had he been able to, he would have made his true love, Arwen, embark on the final journey to Valinor. He remained loyal to Frodo and adamantly resisted the temptations of the Ring. He gets five big stars in my book of characters. Gandalf shares similar traits, plus he's just always got that wizard's twinkle in his eye, which is why he's among my top favorites as well.
But now this post is getting just a tad bit too long sweatdrop I'm gonna hush now or I might just go on forever xd Trust me, I'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, I could go on and on and on and on...and I'm still blabbering gonk SILENCE YOURSELF, AYA! -.runs off.-
