Alfrid: 'Oi, you, Pointy Hat...' Can't Post

'...we don't want no tramps, beggers nor vagabonds around here!'

Erm...is that not what everyone from Laketown is at that moment?!

Oh, don't get me started... [In reply to] Can't Post

There was just WAAAYYYYYYY too much of him - a LITTLE Alfrid would have gone a long way, IMO.

Well... [In reply to] Can't Post

1 - Gandalf is dressed as a trump, he looks like a trump.

2 - Well, the people of Lake-town who lives in Dale are not vagabond, but outlanders are

2- Or maybe Alfrid is just a idiot.

How aaaaaaaaaaaaaare you all???

Even Alfrid can tell that Gandalf is a stranger. Although that doesn't explain why he dismisses him as a tramp or begger.

Alfrid has one objective, one obsession [In reply to] Can't Post

Being the only one around the leader and let no one else approach.

His dismissals of foreigners stands on that ground I bet.
He tramples them at first sight, so the leader won't find interest in them.

A temporary predicament is not the same, really. [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm not sure falling victim to a disaster would lead the Laketowners to describe themselves in those terms (let alone someone as prideful as Alfrid!)

Yes, there's that. [In reply to] Can't Post

And even if Gandalf had visited Esgaroth before, that might have been only the Valar know how long ago. Years or decades earlier.

Wouldn't people then complain too little 'character development' if he'd been featured less ;) [In reply to] Can't Post

In Alfrid's case [In reply to] Can't Post

More screentime didn't equate to character development anyways!
