Almost 100,000 fans voted for their fave Tolkien character, and the results are blatant Aragorn disrespect

When you think of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings many iconic characters spring to mind. Hobbit heroes like Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, wizards Gandalf and Saruman, noble warriors like Boromir, Faramir, and Aragorn and, of course, whatever the hell Tom Bombadil is supposed to be.

But now a new Twitter poll with almost 100,000 responses has named the top 50 Tolkien characters and we’re scratching our heads in confusion. You might expect the top five to be formed of faves like Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, or Gollum. Not so: the top spot is taken by Elrond, with Feanor (Galadriel’s older brother) in second, Merry Brandybuck in third, The Hobbit dwarf Fili in fourth, and Glorfindel in fifth.
