Hehe, I really like this thread, you guys actually have arguments with substance for Eowyn.... not like, she wears pretty dresses or she fights.... However, I'm most surprised that no one argued that Arwen is an elf.... that's gotta be the coolest....an elf!!! Oh, well, then I'm gonna do that one.....I know, I know, there's nothing in this argument really..... but she's an elf for Eru's sake!! If that can't sweep anything off the table then... *draws imaginary Hadafang and defends Arwen's elven grace against Eowyn's fan club!!* ;D

I'm not going to vote because I think they are both wonderful in their own ways and not only that, they are both opposite races so they have different standards, ways of life, their thinking is difference (which is obvious in movie and book) and they look the opposite and they have different personalities. Eowyn is rough shieldmaiden and Arwen and wise gentle elven princess. They come from two entirely different worlds.
So basically in the end, it's all about a persons preferance and opinion.

*Listens to Arien Elensar's truly wise words*
Agreed, and especially when we speak of movie characters. It comes down to the script and the way the acters interpret and portray them. And I guess I have a weakness for Liv.....and Elvish.... and then all the other noble virtues like true love and giving up all the ages of the world just to be with her unshaved, unwashed love ...that is merely a bonus that makes Arwen even better. But basically she Elven...not of this world (well, until she chooses to be!), mysterious, beautiful... stuff .....and the scene she stole from Glorfindel in FotR is the best and oh, for me it fully matches the Eowyn vs. Witch king scene.
*thinks* Well, this is not very reasonable...we knows but we loves our own preciouss Undomiel.... ;D
*does cheerleader dance for Arwen*

*sigh* Yeeeesssss... But Eowyn was willing to give her life for her country, Her uncle/king, and Gondor! And as has been said before.... She killed the witch king, That alone makes her better!

I think that Arwen's just amazing. And Eowyn is not like... I mean, that I got annoyed of her silly little crush on Aragorn. And puuf; when she sees Faramir it's all gone. Eowyn is more like boygirlish. Don't mean that it's a bad thing, but I still prefer more Arwen.

Ok I don't know who to choose in this one.. If you mean Arwen and Eowyn of the movie then I'll choose Eowyn.. but the book.. I think Arwen.. Now Eowyn has all that bravery and goes to battle.. and I really like that about her. Arwen gave up her mortality for Aragorn and that needs a lot of courage and wise thinking.. So I didn't choose anyone in the poll..

Thank you Ea! I just wish everyone else would see it. You know that I agree with you in most things.... at least overall.... perhaps not when we get down to details... (*telepathically speaks to Arien's subconscious mind: "But you know you like Arwen better!!")... but well.... I guess we're mostly discussing the small things here.... ;D

lol. No but I really do love them all equally. I will admit though that I am a bit of a Galadriel fan.

This is what I posted on another forum and I think it summs up most ppl's views nicely Plus Eowyn wears WAY better outfits then Arwen And I have the same colors as Miranda(meaning hair and skin and Eyes) And liv kinda has that annoying high pitched voice(sorry, but she does) does what arwen wear make her not as good as eowyn - u need to look at her character

i love both arwen and eowyn. eowyn is just awesome with the fighting and all...but arwen can be tough when she wants to! i like eowyn because she reminds me of a norse/viking kind of woman, but i also like arwen's ethereal nature/elvishness.
