Don't be surprised. [In reply to] Can't Post


In Reply To
But I'm surprised by the equal amount of men and women, for the main cast is all mainly men. There are but a couple female in LoTR even less in the Hobbit. It's pretty one sided, really. I figure a lot of women watch for the Legolas, Aragorn and..hmm is Thorin a heart throb now?


Most women watch to see interesting characters, of either sex, and a good story well-told. Sure, eye candy is nice, but that's not a principal motivation for enjoying books or movies, for either men or women in my experience.
