Who would you take to 🌋Mordor with you?

[FINGOLFIN]

Point taken

Your are correct about the power of the ring potentially corrupting everyone but Sam...thats probably why Gandalf choose him. Still I like the idea of Gimli...he is short and thus stealthy and I believe Dwarves are less swayed in thier thinking.

 

[emopansy]

i agree that gimli would be second but the darf lords of old built there hordes with the power of the seven and gimlis love for gold would be well used by the one ring

 

[Gamil Zirak]

The one ring wouldn't directly lead to gold and Gimli new that. Gimli was actually very eager to destroy the ring. Besides the seven rings were decind to control the dwarves but it didn't work. Gimli could bare the ring and still be able to defy it's power while tossing it in Mt. Doom.

Emopasy has a point

I still like Gimli...but Emopasy does have a point. The Ring may not directly lead to gold....but the power it weilds would

Gimli possesed the strong legs of the dwarves, and was short enough for stealth, and a excellent warrior. An ideal choice...with the exception of Sam.

I HEARTILY DISAGREE!!!

Ok, sure...tactically Gimli fits the specs but COME ON!!! NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO TRAIPSE AROUND MIDDLE-EARTH WITH SUCH A COMPANION AS GIMLI WITHOUT THE IMMENSE BEAUTY AND PATIENCE GRANTED TO LEGOLAS!!!!

I mean it...Gimli was not only bloodthirsty, he was annoying. "Let's kill! Let's eat! Let's travel into dark caverns and get lost and chased by evil beings and lose our leader!!" He's got as much sense as a hobby horse...

Plus...He's cold and hard and prickly. And he's just not attractive. Personally...I'd take the pretty one...who also happens to be the smartest and the prettiest.

Legolas...YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!

Ooh...or Merry...or shall it be Aragorn...or Pippin...or...SCREW IT!!! You're ALL coming!! ALL SEXY BOYS FOLLOW ME!

 

[FINGOLFIN]

Pretty???? Attractive????

I'm both of those (for a man)...and see no reason why they would help in Mordor unless a Beauty Pageant were to spontaneously break out!

Okay...you have a crush...but how would those qualities have helped?

 

[Wonko The Sane]

They would too help! Who wants to face death surrounded by ugly people?
Prettiness would save your soul from withering and dying.

And pretty peopple are good "companions" the end!
