But we're not discussing who's better in power or greatness, we're talkin' in the head, Tulkas who foolishly laughed at the Melkor met his doom, muwahahah.
Boromir is ssoooo much more better than Tulkas because (in addition to Exa's post)...
Boromir isn't perfect! He's a brilliantly complicated fellow. Brilliant because his complexity is so natural-seeming. He's only a human and it's so beautiful!
He's proud yet modest.
Bold yet cautious.
He's slightly bossy, but honest and fair.
He's mighty but caring of those weaker than himself ("He was always kind to me," Frodo says, "We cannot stay here! This will be the death of the Hobbits!"). You will also notice that Boromir actually cares about the overlooked characters in the Fellowship. He's closer to Merry and Pip, and it seems like he's always carrying the responsibility for the safety of those two. He's teaching them how to swordfight. He's supporting them in Caradhras, he was the one who carried them when they jumped across the bridge in Moria, etc.
He's compassionate and sympathetic. Calming and supporting Gimli outside Moria when Gandalf fell. Then saying ("Give them a moment, for pity's sake!"). He was also the only character to approach Frodo and talk to him about Gandalf's "death" in Lorien when all else ignores him and look at him like everything's his fault.
He is unswervingly loyal to his country, his ruler, and his family. Boromir is accepting of praise, but lavishes it also upon his brother. He shows devotion to his lord and father, but defends his brother against Denethor's unjust scorn. He eagerly takes on the task of going to Elrond and bringing the Ring back to Denethor and Gondor, and shows not the slightest inclination to sieze the Ring for himself.
He has a darker personality compared to Astaldo and I love dark characters.
Boromir had a rare thing that most flawed characters don't have: He knew he was flawed. As a great leader of men, he knew his weaknesses. But Tulkas, I don't know if he has any weaknesses at all or if he even knows about it, he's just laughing and fighting, that's all.
Boromir actually have his reasons why he did the awful thing that he did to Frodo and you can actually sympathize with him, not like Tulkas who is laughing without any reasons at all.
Boromir is fighting for his country, his family, his people, and for the Fellowship. Tulkas on the other hand fights because he just want to, he delights in doing so, he enjoys seeing Melkor cower in his fortress whenever he is present. Sure he also cares for Middle-earth, but he fights more because of self-satisfaction.
I am so touched by Boromir's character. I can't tell you how much I cried when he died in the movie though I already knew it was coming. One of his touching quotes for me was "I would have followed you my brother, my Captain, my King." 🙁 I can't feel any sympathy with Tulkas on the other hand, because there's nothing in his character to sympathize with, he's very predictable and always winning.
To end this up, Boromir is a more complicated and interesting character than Tulkas who I feel is nothing but just a stereotypical strong and war-like god. And that is why Boromir is so much better than him in my opinion.
No offense to Smodden, etc. Just stating my opinion here, I can't help myself. 😛 You shouldn't have compared Boromir and Tulkas at the first place. 😛
And oh sauron, I absolutely love your sig. 😄 One of the best sigs I've ever seen. 😍 It actually made me look at it for a couple of minutes...assuring myself that I saw everyone that I'm actually supposed to see. 😄
So, are those, Ungoliant, Melkor, and Sauron? But I'm so sure there are more in the background, I just can't recognize. 🙁

I can't see Fingolfin and "what's his name" guy. 🙁 Where are they exactly? All I see is Ungoliant, Melkor, and Sauron. 🙁
And yes! I like it very much! 😄 The blending of the characters is wonderful, and the color, man, the color!! 😄 😍
LOL..glad someone agrees with me in my post. 😄 I just love Boromir so much..and his brother. 😍 I don't know why..they are opposites in attitude but I love them both because of their...yeah..attitudes. I wonder at myself sometimes. 😛
Icepick has a point though. Tulkas is really more powerful than Boro 'coz he's a Vala and we can't change that. But still, Boro is a much more better character over all, not just power-wise. 😄
yeah totally 😄 couldnt agree more 😛
well fingolfin is erm...you know the melkor in the middle tge one with horns lol 😄 well he is about to hammer him lol....fingolfin issss in saurons chest..you can only really see his sword flashing blue his body can be seen through uingoliants last leg 😄 😄 and the melkor thats greeny and facing the other way and is pointing whatshisnameguy is in a chair infron of him
