Well, if you people all love him so much, then why haven't I seen any other threads about him?

he is a cool character

Say, does anyone here know the name of Gimli's Axe? I've just been wondering...

gimli's hilarious

dunno ab the axes names, cept that the large two bladed one on his back is a moria blade.
the other 2 are, im guessing, from the lonely mountain.

Whatever. You know one of the best sequences with Gimli? I think that it was when he was fighting the cave troll. He kept doing all these cool rolls and dodges and stuff... it was sweet!

Go Gimli!

Gimli is cool! Gimli is awesome! Gimli rocks!

And so does Gil-galad, even though he has nothing to do with Gimli whatsoever!

He is cool though, isn't he?

Isn't he?!

So is Elrond....

And Isildur...

Try this again--- AND ISILDUR...

And let's throw in a Balrog for kicks!

where do you get all these pictures?

i dont find isidur half as cool...even though he wa sone of the mos tcourages men, he also was one of eh most power hungry and foul, i didnt like him in the silmarillion very muhc at all

Okay, now, don't go saying lies like that. Isildur was not any more power-hungry than the average guy. In Unfinished Tales, it is writen that Isiildur, after the first wave of the Orc attack by the Gladden Fields, knew that his end was near. He therefore resolved to bring the Ring to Elrond in Imladris, where it could be brought in strength to Oroduin and destroyed. While trying to do this, however, the Ring slipped off his finger in the Anduin and made him visible. At that point he was shot by an Orc scout, and he died. The Ring slipped from his finger because it knew that Isildur was trying to destroy it, and thus it was protecting itself. Isildur was at heart a good man, as good as ever there was. But, after the apparent death of Sauron, Isildur saw no reason why the ring must also be destroyed, since it held great power. Therefore, in that state of mind, the Ring easily lulled him under its influence. This happened thus so quickly and easily only because, at that time, the will of Isildur and of the Ring were the same, even without the effect of the Ring. Isildur was depicted in the movies as far worse a person than he was, and the preconceptions provided by the movie can be difficult to get passed. Therefore, even if you then read or already had read the Silmarilion, seeing Isildur in the movie can skew your perception of Isildur. Isildur is good, a great Man and warrior, and a Great King. None greater than him have been taken by the Ring, but only because his will and the Ring's will were the same for a time, and it was thus a simple job for thr Ring to bend the will of Isildur to a greater wanting to keep the ring.

Oh, and as for the images, I just searched on Google. Simple, but effective.

Also, I got some images from www.shipofdreams.net

Check it out, if you'd like.

thanks

This thread is about Gimli? I think he's funny in TTT

I like this picture

I have realized that there isn't a Gimli thread on here, or at least i've overlooked it, so i think i need to start one
Gimli is a character that is so overlooked that i think that he deserves a thread!!! He's so cool, he's the DWARF!!!! and gave me one of my favorite quotes: NOT THE BEARD









(sorry, i'm just a bit hyper)

yeah, funny dude... whatever... i just wanted to say that your 24 hours sig is hilarious... it's like a plan to take down michael jordan




ps. i know its Hades

Gimli Rules!! He had the funniest lines in the movies, "That still only counts as one". But John Rhys-Davies did an excellent job as Gimli.

'There are plenty for the both of us, may the best dwarf win' is another one of my favorites

Gimli deserves some credit.

He is a dwarf

He is a dwarf

He is a dwa
rf

gimli n legolas brought humor to this movie. it wouldda dulled a bit w/o it. he rox. i loved when he was explainng dwarf women

Gimli rox! "That Still only counts as one!"

lol gimli rocks .. my sista a non lotr fan thinks so to tho so that must be saying sumthing bout him

I laughed so hard when he asked frodo to braid his beard!(itBook)

yeah, gimli has some funny moments, but he kicks ass!!!

AND DON"T NO ONE FORGET IT!!!

GIMLI

They kinda underplayed his role in the movies in the book at helms deep he fought half the army in the caverns protecting the women

I loved it when he walked in the house of healing at the end of rotk and paused, and his little eyes were so funny

Gimli is cool.

I think that people don't appreciate Dwarves enough. Sure, they aren't as agile or lithe as Elves, but he still kept up with Legolas in their "competition".

Gimli is the MAN, by all accounts. True, he was somewhat underplayed in the movie, but that was the director's decision. John Rhys-Davies is the man, too, and he played Gimli so unbelievably well.

But one thing that I just realized is that, in the movie, after the Council of Elrond, they never really showed much distrust between Legolas and Gimli. I would have liked to watch their characters develop a little more, but hey, you don't get everything in a movie that you get in a book.

One other thing that I wished I could have seen was Gimli taking 10 orcs at once on his own, or something like that. It would have been nasty to see him plowing down tons of orcs at a time. Unfortunately, in the Two Towers, when such a moment was possible, he falls in a puddle. A very disappointing moment for me.

It's just that they gave Legolas and Aragorn their moments of glory, but Gimli went very unappreciated throughout the trilogy, when it is likely that he is the most steadfast of the three of them. And Boromir, too, got his moment of glory, which surpassed awesome. But they left Gimli out. I don't think it's very fair, but hey... What'ya gonna do?
