Your LOTR mate - Page 5

I thought he Finrod had wished to marry but it was with a Vanyar elf (cant rember her name and waaaay to tired to try and find it)who didn't come to M.E. and so he stayed single for or something like that.

CardenIAntauraNauco · 12-30-2001, 02:09 AM

I looked through the index and looked up the pages where he was in Valinor. I couldn't find anything about a fiancee or what not. Although it is VERY possible that I am wrong look through it when you've woken up enough

finrod's love was amarie (AKA sister golden hair)

Blond hobbits are rare, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Can anyone prove that Frodo isn't blond? Or red-haired, say? And why couldn't he have blue/green/grey eyes? The book doesn't really say anything about his looks.

P.S. In the movie, EVERYONE has either blue or green eyes.

P.P.S. It seems that many of those who picked Frodo are influenced by Elijah's angelic baby-face. Not that it's wrong, of course; but it's funny.

It is true that it was rare, but if IIRC, all of Sams children were born with golden hair because of his love for Elves.

Unless they gave Orlando Bloom (Legolas) colored contacts or something, his eyes are brown.

My mistake. I didn't think of him, AND of John Rhys-Davies (Gimli).

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I saw Bloom in several pics. Do you know if they colored up his eyes? An Elf with brown eyes would be totally inconsistant to the books.

I actually couldn't make out the color of Bloom's eyes in the movie, they seemed either brown or green. So I'm not sure if they gave him contacts or not. But as there are quite a few things in the movie that aren't consistent with the books, I assume they could just have an elf with brown eyes.

rosie cotton, at least from her looks in the movie.. what a hottie, the hight difference will be a problem tho.. what with my being 6`5 and her bring all of around 2`11

we would set about making a whole new breed of 3/4 sized humans with hairy feet...

CardenIAntauraNauco · 01-06-2002, 05:56 PM

Yes... he wore blue contacts. I saw him put them on while watching Passage to middle earth.

Lady Midnight · 01-06-2002, 06:09 PM

Alas I am doomed to be forever torn between Aragorn and Boromir. *sigh*

bropous · 01-07-2002, 01:33 AM

I fell in love with Galadriel when I read the books as a kid, and fell even more deeply in love when I saw the Brothers Hildebrandt paintings of her! She'd be my choice.

Really? Then I should have watched better. Thanks for clearing this up.

ChildofEru · 01-08-2002, 12:32 AM

Galadriel is the reason I wake up in the morning.
In all reality any female Elf would be a wonderful mate.
I honestly believe that if elves existed today they would resemble something a geek, only more physical.

bropous · 01-08-2002, 01:16 AM

But to be honest, there are only three choices for the straight guys as a mate in LotR: Arwen, Eowyn, and Galadriel. Goldberry's taken.

The ladies have far more choices...

To reflect the title of another thread, "It ain't fair"!

Kamyel · 01-08-2002, 01:31 AM

Hmmm this is a tough one. It's either Legolas or Aragorn.

*sigh*

why do you women like him

Strider OVER Aragorn? Unless he has some gymnastic abilities that I am not aware of, it would be difficult for Strider to be over Aragorn in any sense of the word. Of course I believe in character development as much as anyone, I am curious how one would choose one person over the same person?

bropous · 01-08-2002, 03:05 AM

hama, she's probably wanting Strider over Aragorn in a subtle attempt to arrange a menage-a-trois. Of course, she could get Elessar to join in too, for a full-blown orgy. LOL! Girl's gettin' greedy!

Maybe he/he/he will have to change clothes repeatedly and real fast....and move around a lot!

easterlinge · 01-08-2002, 03:33 AM

What! Nobody's interested in Lobelia Sackville-Baggins?

bropous · 01-08-2002, 12:15 PM

uh, in a word, NO, easterlinge! LOL!
