I had to mix a few together, so just pick the one with your answer in, and state below which one it was.

Try to base you answer off the book if you've read it, if not just what you've seen in 'an unexpected journey'

Balin.

Without a doubt.

... wait, why did you include Thorin? In that case, I would have voted for him.

I Love Lamp. And Ender's Game. Don't tell Lamp.

I liked Fili and Kili. They reminded me of Merry and Pippin.

That's like asking me if I want chocolate or somethingthatisasgoodasvhocolatewhichdiffersfrompersontoperso ndependingonpersonaltaste.

What kind of question is that?

  • 01.01.2013 1:40 PM PDT

I am the Carpet man they talk about... I jump from star to star, I walk it out.

Anyone who doesn't say Bombur is wrong.

Kili. He played Mitchell in Being Human.

Thorin, to me he's a real hardcore dwarf.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.
Posted by: mike120593
My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Thorin, duh. Richard Armitage is a boss.

Balin is second.

Of course you can. There's the head dwarf, the bald dwarf, the fat dwarf, the Brian Cox dwarf, Kili, the wimpy dwarf, the wimpy dwarf's dad, the dwarf who looks like the fat dwarf, the old dwarf, Kili's brother, and a couple of other dwarfs.

Obviously they look different. The fact that none of them have any real personality and are basically goofy set pieces make them bad characters.

  • 01.01.2013 1:54 PM PDT

I'm suprised nobody has said Gloin. without Gloin there is no Gimli.

Sadly, this is actually half-true. The only dwarves in the book with any significance are Thorin and Balin. Maybe Bombur occasionally. Thankfully the movie expanded more on Bofur, Kili, and Fili.

Fili and Kili are in a way They were {SPOILERS} the only dwarves in Thorins Company (besides Thorin to die in the Battle of five armies, because they defended their uncle to the death.

This is why I'm thankful Peter Jackson is giving their characters more significant roles, it'll make for a more tragic last stand. [SPOILERS] I find it funny how the three dwarves destined to die were made to be the most attractive ones (not my opinion).

The best? The best at what?

  • 01.01.2013 2:06 PM PDT

Im awful with names. The two with very similar names that weren't fat and were young-ish and had smaller beards?

But that's not true!

The old dwarf does old stuff like telling the head dwarf what to do. The bald dwarf is all "I'm bald and have a big hammer" and stuff. The Brian Cox dwarf is funny, but also nice to the beardless dwarf. Kili is just plain awesome. The wimpy dwarf is young, wimpy, and eager to prove himself. With a slingshot. The wimpy dwarf's dad is a butler-type guy. The fat dwarf eats a lot but is still on an adventure, thus serving as a role model for fat kids. Kili's brother is cool too, and also blonde. And there are a couple of other dwarfs who do... things.

It's a'me, Sesto

I like the one that's bald and comes to Biblo's house first. I dunno his name, I haven't read the book in years, and I didn't bother to learn his name in the movie.
