    This is a top FIVE.
    Yes, that's -75% of the list gone.
    Even if you were going *only* off of the Lord of the Rings movies, and ignoring the Hobbit and the books completely, a top five is fucking pathetic.
    How was this a good idea? "This is a popular franchise with some of the most beloved and iconic characters of all time... eh, fuck it"

    Shit site.

      Editing … No I'm just playing, I actually think it's really messed up that LotR characters are only top 5. I understand a top ten even though I'm the biggest fan of Tolkien out there, but top five is just a fucking insult. @Papissama why does Metal Gear and Star Wars and all that stuff get top 10 but the LotR universe which is much, MUCH bigger gets only five? Don't make no sense

    Hey @Pape Badiane, I notice this list is categorized under "Film/TV," which seems incorrect considering that the movies are based on books, and many of these character pages never actually appeared in the films (#Tom Bombadil). Also, 'Middle-Earth Characters' may be a bit more accurate, what with Silmarillion/Hobbit characters being part of the universe.

      Editing … It would be great to have a "Litterature" category with everything related to novels, comic books, authors, etc.

    I won't be okey with this list arriving before the MGS list unless Gimli reaches the number 1 spot :p

      Editing … Gandalf is #1 where he belongs. I'm on Gimli's side of the Gimli/Legolas rivalry though.
