Everywhere they went people were getting kidnapped, orcs were invading, trees were coming to life, and the dead were rising. Id want to be far away from that elevator.
You know for a fact that they'll literally coming charging across the countryside to rescue you though
Not much countryside for the charging in most elevators, though 🤔
They probably wouldn't be that familiar with the workings of a lift either
Only one of them.
But Legolas could poke out the ceiling panel with the tip of his bow and Aragorn could boost Gimli up with a rope.
So ackshually...
Aragorn was descended from Elros who was a half-elf, but that was so long ago he may or may not be a full man depending on how racist one is about miscegenation.
Legolas was an elf and Gimli was a dwarf, so explicitly not Men.
How about Eomer and Faramir instead?
Men as in males, yes.
Men as in humans, mostly no
Elros and Elrond had a choice as to become Eldar or Edain. Elrond chose Eldar, while Elros chose Edain. Once they chose their mixed nature was resolved.
Not exactly, since the Númenóreans still had longer lives than Men due to their elven heritage. So while one could absolutely make the argument they were Men, there's also a case to be made saying they weren't pureblooded Men.
Boromir would've made them feel safer.
Faramir didn't try to take the Ring from Frodo, unlike Boromir.
Let's be real. We're all NPCs so if any of the men are from something with action, we'll probably end up dead. My pick would be Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, and Steve Irwin. Super calming and chill
I tried to come up with a counter argument and realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to.
I mean, they're objectively correct.
The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.
We're in the LOTR community, the sample may be a little biased
Yes, but the person who responded to the question wasn't in a LOTR community.
Good point!
Okay, real world examples from me (notably, a big dude, so y'know, probably not as in tune to things as I could be):
Bernie Sanders My brother My Uncle
... I... Really thought I'd have better options until I really started thinking about it
I'd choose: Boromir, Ned Stark, and Sean Bean.
No way anything bad can happen to me with those magnets around.
The whole elevator would just crash through the foundation. You'd be collateral when Death gets a 3 for 1 final destination style.
Figures that the safest men to be stuck with aren't human men.
Aragorn?
He's 87 years old at the start of LOTR.
He descends from Elros the Half-Elf.
He's got Elven heritage. He's the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he's also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond's great great grandmother was Melian.
Somewhat related: that's a dream blunt rotation right there
I feel like Gimli would hog it, Aragorn would obviously be awesome, and Legolas would be chill but you could tell he's thinking your weed sucks, he's got a much better connection.
Gimli, it's a blunt, not a microphone
i like to imagine that weed is the opposite of beer when it comes to elves and dwarves, elves barely even notice while dwarves start giggling when standing next to someone puffing a blunt
Oh and hobbits would of course treat it like something abjectly holy, they already take pipeweed extremely seriously and that's just tobacco. Actual devil's lettuce might well start hobbit cults.
Three guys wearing a red shirt
three clones of tom scott, who say "we are standing in an elevator going to the 5th floor" in perfect unison as you enter
Not if yer a fucken orc!
My two older brothers and my dad
first 3 celebridudes that popped into my head:
Tom Hanks, Keannu Reaves, and Willie Nelson.
You are NOT safe from Willie. He will get you SOOO high.
exactly why he's on the list. I'm secretly trying to get to Hanks that high so he can laugh like he did in money pit.
Just put me with Pedro Pascal, in any role.
Honestly if I was a woman any dude in life. Maybe even those goth dudes on black horses. Def the trees tho. They Hott af
