Favorite Elf of Rivendell.

[Ladyhawk]

Poll question: Favorite Elf of Rivendell.

This was supposed to be a copy-cat thread, but "Favorite resident of Riverdale" is nowhere in sight.

[Placebo]

1. Ummm...am I a loser for NOT knowing who the F those people are?

Or the other way around? :P

[Ladyhawk]

5. I resemble that remark! n/t

[mark11727]

11. "What the hell is a radio picture?"

[dolo amber]

2. What's the name of the kick ass one

that rides around with the midget? Cos I pick her. :D

[Ladyhawk]

6. Arwen. n/t

[dolo amber]

7. YAY!

Thanks! :hi:

I thought Arwen was the sappy Liv Tyler one. She sucks. :D

[Ladyhawk]

12. Um, I thought that's who you meant.

In the movies, Arwen usurped Glorfindel's role and took the wounded Frodo (he's a hobbit, not a midget) to Rivendell on horseback, chased by the Ringwraiths.

[dolo amber]

14. No, I meant that blonde lady

Maybe she wasn't an elf...iunno, I read those books like 800 yrs ago. :D

[tjdee]

21. That's not a lady, baby, It's a man, man!

It's Legolas, right? Rides around with the dwarf Gimli?

But as I just found out, he's not from Rivendell no way. :)

Um, unless you are talking about a girl.

[Ladyhawk]

29. I think you mean Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). n/t

[BiggJawn]

16. E'owyn

And she's not an Elf, but the niece of The'oden king of Rohan.

I'm the biggest fucking loser of all, because I also know about Turin Turambar and Gondolyn and the Dragon-Helm of Hador.....

[dolo amber]

18. Yeah! That's the one

She was badass but still very sweet...I'd do her. :7

[Ladyhawk]

19. Cool. :) I'm afraid I don't. :) n/t

[lazarus]

24. No

I know how to spell Gondolin. :evilgrin:

That makes me a bigger loser.

And I picked Glorfindel. Anybody who killed a Balrog in combat, and then was reincarnated, kicks ass.

[ropi]

3. Galadriel

eom

[Ladyhawk]

4. She's not from Rivendell. She's from Lothlorien.

That makes me a double loser, I guess. One, for knowing "who these people are" and two, for knowing who's from what area of Middle Earth.

[ropi]

15. oh dang

you're right, Lady! I became a ME fan much later.

[tjdee]

8. Legolas....but only if he's Orlando. Otherwise, Elrond kicks.

Orllaaannndddoooooo :loveya:

Of all the elves I do prefer Galadriel, but I have just remembered as you posted above she's from Lothlorien.

[Ladyhawk]

9. Legolas is from Mirkwood. :) n/t

[tjdee]

20. LOL, I was wondering why you left him out!

And I should have known you did it for a reason!!

But in the movie you know, he IS from Rivendell, or they never make that distinction. At least Galadriel lives in a different place....

[Ladyhawk]

28. Nope. He was sent by his father Thranduil to Rivendell...

...to Elrond's Council. :) He arrived in Rivendell, just like the dwarves and Boromir of Gondor.

[tjdee]

31. Uh....was that the first time when Orlando appeared onscreen?

When they did the "Thranduil has sent his son Legolas here" bit?
Because I was a bit distracted at that time. ;)

Wow, you really know your stuff! I will no longer talk out of my butt about elves.

:)

[Rocinante]

10. Elrond

He tried to get whats his name to throw the ring into the fire. But no hell no he kept it.

[Ladyhawk]

17. "What's his name" = Isildur n/t

[BlueHandDuo]

23. Yep, Elrond rules...

...and he could kick major butt if he wanted to.

He's just better than that.

[yardwork]

25. Isildur - the original Republican

[sundog]

13. The elves that the hobbits hear...

singing in the trees when they descend into the valley & feel a light breeze blowing(in The Hobbit if I remember correctly). They are tired after the encounter with the trolls.

[roguevalley]

22. You mean Gildor Inglorien and his band? How is that for sucking?

SNICKER! I love this poll. I love Elrond the best. He's supremely doable. Frankly, he could use a tumble. The old lady dumped him don't you know.

[lazarus]

27. Actually

The old lady died after being tormented by orcs. Most likely a euphemism for rape, I think.

Elrond had a hell of a life, if you think about it. Lost his parents, was then raised by the people who killed his parents, who subsequently died, his wife was raped by orcs and died, and his daughter is going to marry a mortal and die. All this for an immortal had to be hard to deal with.

[nicolemrw]

32. and consider who his in-laws are

galadriel as mother-in-law? scary.

[Bridget Burke]

34. Celebrían did not die.

That's the name of Elrond's wife. She sailed into the west after being tormented by the Orcs. Tolkien, of course, never used the word "rape"--but he wouldn't.

[lazarus]

35. Oops

For some reason, I thought she had died.

Her sailing into the West was close enough, though. She just couldn't handle Middle Earth anymore after the 'torment'.

[Maleficus]

26. Arwen, of course!

:wow:

[LynzM]

30. Hey Ladyhawk

:yourock:

[nicolemrw]

33. glorfindel rocks!

i've always been pissed... first the animated movie cut glorfindel out and gave legolas his part, then the live movie cut him out and gave arwen his part. *feh*

[VelmaD]

36. Who can pick between the twins...

can't I have Elladan and Elrohir both? Mmm...twins... :evilgrin:
