Line 8:
== The Fellowship ==
== Frodo Baggins ([[Elijah Wood]]) ==
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Worthy of note as Elijah Wood is known for his huge, startlingly blue eyes. Despite rumours, Frodo did ''not'' wear contacts.
Line 38:
== Samwise "Sam" Gamgee ([[Sean Astin]]) ==
* [[Audience Surrogate]]: Along with the other hobbits.
Line 72:
== Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck ([[Dominic Monaghan]]) ==
* [[Audience Surrogate]]

== Peregrin "Pippin" Took ([[Billy Boyd]]) ==
* [[Audience Surrogate]]

== Gandalf ([[Ian McKellen]]) ==
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]

== Legolas ([[Orlando Bloom]]) ==
* [[The Archer]]

== Boromir ([[Sean Bean]]) ==
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]
Line 273:
== Men ==
== Théoden ([[Bernard Hill]]) ==
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
Line 293:
== Éowyn ([[Miranda Otto]]) ==
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 324:
== Éomer ([[Karl Urban]]) ==
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Towards Éowyn, his sister.
Line 340:
== Denethor ([[John Noble]]) ==
Denethor is the Steward of Gondor, ruling from Minas Tirith in the absence of the King. He is used to being in charge, and does not like the idea of having to give up power to the rightful heir to the throne.
Line 371:
== Faramir ([[David Wenham]]) ==
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
Line 394:
== Elves ==
== Elrond ([[Hugo Weaving]]) ==
* [[Cultured Badass]]: A renowned loremaster, he also led Gil-galad's army against Sauron in the Second Age.
Line 405:
== Arwen ([[Liv Tyler]]) ==
* [[Action Girl]]: Film only. After [[A Fate Worse Than Death|what happened to her mom]] in the book, it's unlikely Elrond would allow it.
Line 425:
== Galadriel ([[Cate Blanchett]]) ==
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
Line 452:
== Other Main Characters ==
== Gollum, originally Smeagol ([[Andy Serkis]]) ==

Line 627:
== Grí­ma Wormtongue ([[Brad Dourif]]) ==
* [[Dirty Coward]]
Line 642:
== The Witch-king of Angmar (Bret McIntyre / Lawrence Makoare, voice by [[Andy Serkis]]) ==
* [[Badass Boast]]: "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!"
Line 673:
== Orcs ==
* [[The Ageless]]: Like the Elves they were supposedly created from, but it isn't fully clear.
Line 702:
== Trolls ==
* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: Tolkien's trolls are giant-like monsters with rocky hides and beast-like intelligence. They permanently turn to stone when exposed to sunlight. The exceptions are Sauron's Olog-hai, more intelligent trolls that are immune to sunlight.
Line 713:
== The Mouth of Sauron ([[Bruce Spence]]) ==
* [[Ass in Ambassador]]: After meeting with Aragorn, he essentially demands his surrender.
Line 729:
== Shelob ==
* [[Achilles Heel]]: Her underside is not as tough as the rest of her body; when she gives up trying to paralyze Sam with her venom and decides to crush him, he shoves Sting into her guts.
Line 751:
== The Balrog ==
* [[Big Red Devil]]: He is effectively this [[Incendiary Exponent|on fire.]]
