Worst Lord of the Rings Card Pictures
« on: September 04, 2009, 07:32:55 am »
I think these cards have very...unflattering pictures:
Legolas, Son of Thranduil (P)
Faramir, Dunadan of Gondor
Eowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan (P) (cross-eyed and total five-head!)
Eowyn, Sister-Daughter of Theoden (again, the five-head is ridiculous)
Eomer, Eored Captain (I have an idea--let's use a picture where you can't even see the companion!)
The Gaffer's Pipe (check out that paunch!)
Gimli, Counter of Foes (it looks like he is standing in front of a green-screen that they later put a battle scene on)
Galadriel, Keeper of Nenya (it is a shame because Cate Blanchett is my favorite current actress and she is quite beautiful)
Dunlending Ravager (the poor guy is probably a father of two and an usher at his local church)

These cards fall under the category of "Disappointing:"
Black Flail
Throne of Minas Tirith (Good spot by Mr. Lurtzy--the Throne is hardly in the picture!)

And these are marked under the category of "What?!"
Mordor Warrior (it looks like his face is made of melted wax)
Smeagol, Slinker (he's supposed to be a good guy in this one!)
Task Was Not Done (naked Ian McKellen...no thanks)
Make a Run For It (Good Spot for Daniro--totally Photoshopped!)
Host of Thousands (Weak shot...pretty disappointing)

Totally agree except with Mordor Warrior, I kinda like it.

I've always disliked:

•Aragorn, Driven by Need (7P364)


And YES to your comments on Black Flail... why isn't a picture of him swinging it around over his head like a bad #$&*@!!?!?!

What. Unflattering? Disappointing?

I don't think this picture sucks...of course, there are better Aragorns-- Aragorn, Ranger of the North and Thorongil come to mind.

Disappointing? Shelob, Menace from T&D. IT'S THE SAME PIC FROM SET 8. I hated T&D for things like that. Also, WTG is lame, as are most of the Fellowship cards. Not epic enough for a last set.

Boromir, Destined Guide is the only Age's End Fellowship picture I really like. That should've been the picture for Boromir, Lord of Gondor.

But there are some really great companion pictures that aren't "Battle Ready." I am a big fan of:
Faramir, Defender of Osgiliath
Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark
Gimli, Feared Axeman
Theoden, Leader of Spears
Arwen, Elven Rider

Actually, I guess only the Faramir wouldn't be "battle-ready."

Love Eomer, TmoR. Always thought Greenleaf looked awesome (maybe cuz of awesome text haha), with the same going to Driven by Need. I hate a lot of the Age's End pics.
