Who is your favorite lord of the rings bad guy

This saga has some amazing bad guys, but the mouth of sauuron has always been the coolest to me. They could have made him better in the movies.

Gollum is pretty loveable.

melkor straight up

Sauron and the Witch King.

I really like Sauron's armour and the Witch-King's helmet.

Generally though the ringwraiths are pretty badass.

Sauron is the true ruler. :cool:

They really should make a movie out of The Silmarillion. Morgoth ftw.aaronmullan

'The Silmarillion', I think, would be too complex to turn into a movie. It's too many, essentially, short stories woven together. And aside from 'The Children of Hurin' Tolkien never expanded upon the stories with enough material to create a movie out of.

Not in 'the Lord of the Rings'.

Gandalf is my favorite bad guy.

Forces an innocent & ignorant guy to take the weapon of mass destruction for that time and cross the country to get rid of it because he was too scared to do it.

Organize various peaceful peoples into a unified war against the established order, being Saruman just because he didn't get a promotion.

Committ genocide against a race just because they looked different and liked to live underground in a place the dwarves moved out of.

Plays dumb 100% of the time instead of directly stating the facts while pushing everyone in the direction he wants to go, how annoying.

Fakes his own death to ditch his companions so he can go party somewhere and then pulls a jesus to show off.

Just one of the many evil things Gandalf did.

No, he's right. Gandalf may have done good but his motives were pure evil. Next time you go through the novels, read between the lines.

The mouth of Sauron appears on the movie for about 5 minutes. Gollum is on 2 movies and he isn't on the poll? What a logic.

Why do people keep bringing up characters that are not actually in the 'Lord of the Rings'?

It's all part of the same lore, yes, but it's still not 'the Lord of the Rings'. It'd be about like asking who your favorite 'Star Wars: Episode II' character is and someone saying Lando Calrissian.

*shrugs*

I take "Lord of the Rings" to mean 'Lord of the Rings'. Sounded fairly specific to me (especially since it's so often printed in single-volume editions now, and since the TC mentioned the movies).

Which does not negate the point. At all.

Technically the Lord of the Rings is just the story of the Lord of the Rings, Frodo's adventure. I probably wouldn't count Smaug as a LotR villain.

It is like saying your favourite Empire Strikes Back villain is Darth Malak

I'd probably say Sauron.

I'm just going to say Luke is like 18-20 and Lando is in his 40's. Think that works.

What no love for Gollum ?

Sure the ring corrupted to him but he was still a bad guy for 4/5ths of the Lord of the Rings.

Saruman.

The Nazgul from the first film come close, though. Didn't care much for them in the subsequent films.

The Witch-King of Angmar

he didnt deserve the death he got :(

I thought strider (the ringwrath in the galloping pony early on) was pretty intimidating for the first villainEJ902

Strider was Aragorn's other handle no?
