Eowyn or Arwen?

[Paragon]

Poll question: Eowyn or Arwen?

Personally, I think Eowyn would be a little more, um...adventurous. But then again, Aragorn can always go back and get some sweet, sweet elf love from the ex. :silly:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. So totally Eowyn. What does Arwen do? Bugger all!

[XNASA]

2. I voted Arwen, but there's no way in hell she'd give up her......

..immortality for the likes of me.

[mr_hat]

3. Eowyn. Couldn't past Arwen's ears -- be like smooching Spock.

[LiberalVoice]

4. Arwen

After all the crap she's had to go through with her dad..and then to find out Aragorn is cheating?

There is no wrath like an elf woman scorned!!!

[XNASA]

5. Aragorn cheated?

Aragorn is beyond reproach. He'd never do anything like that.

[everythingsxen]

6. Eowyn

[Salviati]

7. gotta go with arwen...

I'm a sucker for brunettes...

[Paragon]

9. Are you trying to say that Al Gore...

...is a hand puppet? :silly: Interesting juxtaposition, those two links.

[Salviati]

26. Nah... just I liked the speech

and I wanted to give the people who missed it a chance to see it. I hadn't thought of the juxtaposition of the link with my S&O sig pic. kinda unfortunate, but it's probably time to update the link anyway...

[Loonman]

8. ehhh...Arwen is alright, but Eowyn looks devilishly saucy

Hubba hubba!

[BurtWorm]

10. I don't know who eowyn and arowun are

but I voted for Liv Tyler.

11. The funny thing is that Arwen and Aragorn are somewhat related--

Arwen is Elrond's daughter. Elrond had a brother, Elros, who chose to be mortal. Aragorn is descended from Elros. The other funny thing is that Arwen is many hundreds of years old, while Aragorn is normal human age.

If you're a Tolkien geek like I am (we prefer the term "loremaster," heh), you learn these things . . .

(I know: get a life.)

[Paragon]

12. As a "Tolkien geek", you should know that...

...Aragorn is not "normal human age" - he's 87 years old. Rangers are blessed with very long life.

[Loonman]

14. You should also know Aragorn is a Dúnedain

A term used in Middle-earth for the Men of Númenor and (especially) their descendants in Arnor and Gondor after the Downfall in Age 2, year 3319.

13. Liv Tyler is a vision as Arwen

I haven't seen a woman look so captivating on film in many many years.

This role really changed my image of Liv Tyler. I had always thought of her as a lightweight, a teen flash-in-the-pan (hated her in "Armageddon"), but she carries off her accent believably, as well as the character in general. I literally fell in love with the character.

Eowyn is very comely, but much more average looking, and I'm nut much into blondes, anyway.

[Paragon]

15. Damn, I've never seen a poll this tight before!

No wonder Aragorn is torn.

[Liberal Classic]

16. Rosie Cotton

I'm more into good food, strong drink, and a pipe.

[DrWeird]

17. I'd go with Arwen.

Just cause she'd age a lot better.

:evilgrin:

[jpgray]

18. Eowyn. Arwen in the films has an irritating breathy voice

Liv and Cate Blanchett--they sound like a pair of foghorns! or is that *acting*? :)

[regnaD kciN]

28. Director's choice...

...on the extended edition FotR, Liv Tyler says that she was told by Jackson to drop her voice an octave for the part. (Probably a good idea...her normal voice sounds a little "Valley Girl"-esque.)

[jpgray]

29. The casting of Liv was the one thing I really didn't care for

She just seems a little ditzy to be playing someone hundreds of years old. :)

Cate Blanchett was well-cast though, and while I thought the drawn-out mysteriousness was silly, she acted well.

[geniph]

19. To identify with, Eowyn

no question. As far as who I personally found most attractive, I'm with the previous poster who voted for Rosie Cotton!

[wysimdnwyg]

20. How 'bout Galadriel?

[Supply Side Jesus]

21. vote another for Galadriel

cate blanchete is the classiest broad in all of film, IMO.

[DS1]

22. Arwen

Brunettes are better. The director insists on always flooding scenes with Eowyn with sunlight giving her, IMHO, an unfair advantage.

Also, Arwen has plenty of time to study basic electronics, and build me an Elvish TV which reads my mind and changes the channel moments before I get irrited by soft-focus-lens interviews and Billy Mays infomercials :evilgrin:

[DinahMoeHum]

23. Eowyn, of course. She gets to kick Orc/Nazgul butt !!

n/t

:evilgrin:

[DS1]

25. Arwen can all but raise you from the dead

Can you say Bender? :evilgrin:

[bmbmd]

24. Me so immortal

me love you long time. A vote for Arwen here.

[joeybee12]

27. Eowyn--Liv Tyler is the weak link in the entire trilogy

Minimally talented actress who somehow got billing over most of the other people--you know, the people who can act.
