Narnia or Middle Earth?

[*~Luthien~*]

Both worlds of two brilliant authors are breath taking and magical. They pull us out of this world with such creativity; but which world would you rather live in? Would you rather visit the beatiful hobbit cottages of the Shire and visit the City of Kings (Minas Tirith) or would you prefer to sit and have tea with Mr. Tumnus and speak to the animals of Narnia?

[PrinceOfTheWest]

Actually, in Tolkien's view, Middle Earth is our world, in the distant past, so it would be more a question of going "back then". ("Middle earth" is a medieval term for our world: in the middle between heaven and hell.)

Hard choice. I think I'd go for Narnia, primarily because the Shire is off limits to men by decree of King Elessar! Still, the prospect of Rohan is pretty alluring, and "Gondor, between the mountains and the sea!"

[Kitanna]

Since I have a great love of horses and King Theoden is my favorite book character of all time, I'd have to say I'd much rather live in Rohan. Or possibly Rivendell because that's what I think Heaven will be like.
Besides, the descriptions Tolkien provides for the places within Middle-Earth are so much more vivid to the mind, it makes it easier to visualize. My choice will probablly always be Middle-Earth over Narnia.

[Sharlene]

hmmmm... Middle Earth or Narnia eh? thats a hard question. I'd say Both!!! =)

[Marmadas]

Whoa! totally narnia!! although I love middle earth dearly, Narnias my pick!

[~Rogue~]

Oooh I don't know. I wouldn't mind living in Rivendall or somewhere like that in Middle Earth but I'm not sure about Narnia. There don't seem to be any established cities or villages where we can live! (well not until Prince Caspian)

[Rohan Princess]

I would live in Rohan(see user name), but I could vacation to Gondor and visit my ole pals Aragorn and Arwen. Or even go visit the empty Rivendell.[FONT=Arial]

[CSLewisFan]

Narnia, I would love to visit both, but I would have to say Narnia :)

Moved to "Other Fantasy Worlds". Poll added as well!

-Austin

[Rohan Princess]

I love polls, I voted Middle Earth.

[the Large Voice]

It would be awesome to be in both, but I voted Narnia!
I'm an animal lover, so it just would make more sense to be able to live in a time where I can converse with animals.:) - particularly Reepicheep, and Glimfeather because they are both hilarious!

[Eressea]

MIDDLE EARTH! yes!
where else do elves belong?

[Elastigirl]

Narnia! I don't know what middle earth looks like... :)

[Saruman]

Elastigirl, I LOVE that picture of Jadis you have in your signature! That is awesome!

I would prefer to visit Middle-earth, simply because there is so much more to see and such ancient history that one has learned thanks to the great imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien. I would truly love to visit Minas Anor, Orthanc, Edoras, Mithlond, etc. But I do get to visit them quite often through the use of my own imagination, and that will do plenty for now. :)

[sarahnarnia1983]

i perfer narnia not to say that middle earth isnt very good. but narnia caught my imagnation more

[she-elfwarrior19]

I chose narnia b/c ive loved it all my life and middle earth sometimes annoys me :rolleyes:

[Queen Lucy the Valiant]

My choice is Narnia, even though i loved LOTRs!

[Pippin]

I dont know which i woukld choose! I love Middle-Earth and i love Narnia! Middle -Earth has adorable Hobbits and Narnia has Adorable Fauns! Middle-Earth has Ents Narnia has Dryads. Both worlds let my imagination soar free as and eagle. I CANT CHOOSE I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!

[sfreak]

Middle Earth & Narnia too

[Rohan Princess]

MIDDLE EARTH! yes!
where else do elves belong?

Hey, finally another person on Middle Earth was starting to get lonely. :)
Just kidding :)

[Eressea]

what?? i cant believe that peoples dont lke ME better... heh.. wait... im postng on a narna web site... heh... nevermind...
:) glad 2 jon u rohan prncess... (ag, thats to long for one to wrte out when they are tired... i dub thee RP.. unless u protest otherwise..).. :)
what?? how does ME annoy u?

[Mudpuddle]

This is an easy one, I would rather be in Narnia. Middle Earth is always in a state of war, and a rather dangerous place to be roaming about. Except for brief periods of time, Narnia was a very peaceful place, and fairly (though not completely) safe to explore. Much more variety of creatures in Narina to make friends with then in Middle Earth, most of whom you rather not want to meet to begin with.

[Rohan Princess]

Don't you like the adventure and excitement?

Mudpuddle i agree with you 99%:D:D I get bored with LOTR/Middle earth b/c they have like not many interesting creatures and most of them are bad and ugly like orks ect. Narnia is far more interesting in my opinion.

[Eressea]

ag! middle earth boring, not that many races?? hm... i admit that narnia has quite a lot of them, most of which are animals?.. in the lotr there might not be that many, but in the whole of middle earth... uve got valar, istari, elves, men, dwarves, hobbits, dunidain, mayar, eru, (not a race.. heh..) spiders, gobins and orcs (which are tortured elves... :( ) ents.... dragons..... ect... there arnt really that many bad peoples.. even from above listing, only 4 o those are 'bad' (not that a few o the others might not be bad...).. anyway.. yea. there are quite a few races, not that a high # races is nessesary to make somthing good.... yea? do u follow, or am i rambling? (which is a possiblility.. :)

[Mudpuddle]

Don't you like the adventure and excitement? Not if I am the one who will end up being dinner.

[unadreinieltheubique]

This poll suffers from selection bias/participation bias/experimenter bias ... psh, it's self-selected :D

In other words, LOTR would clearly win if this survey was conducted scientifically ...

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

I think i'd prefer to live in middle-earth, especially among the elves :D

[sarahprincess]

Can I have Tea With Tumnus in the land of the Shire...Now THAT would be awesome...

I guess I'd have to pick LOTR, since I love those little hobbit houses..but Its a very close one..

[Mr_Beaver]

Narnia too!

[mrstumnus99]

Middle-Earth! I'd love to live in Ithilien with Faramir and Eowyn but then visit all the other lands. Plus I'm already in the Shire!

[psychotic iguana]

What a horrible question!!! I have to say, however, I have a been a LOTR fan much longer than a TLWW one- so, aw man, MIDDLE EARTH!

(which is a possiblility.. :)
you forgot skin-changers like beorn,eagles, trolls, wargs, and various animals :D

[Pippin]

I love Middle-Earth and i love Narnia... so ikm undecited. They are both wonderful lands. YAY HOBBITS!!!!!!! YAY FAUNS!!!!!!!!

[Eressea]

ah, sorry... i didnt want it to sound like... a lecture? but u were right, i totally forgot about them... toss them in there too.. :)
unadreinieltheubique, i totally agree with you... :)

[she-elfwarrior19]

And frodo always pees me off.lol :rolleyes:

[Moe92]

naria isn't as evil as ME(middle Earth_to affect the limits of something, especially a right or law, often causing some kind of restriction)

[Eressea]

frodo rocks world. :D

hmm.. narnia not as evil as me? im nit sure if thats exaclty put right... i can see ur point, but.... im not sure i agree with how u worded it? :confused:

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

COOL BANNER!!! :D

It would be kinda boring if there weren't uglies to start a war every now and then... :D

[Pippin]

Middle Earth its self isnt evil there is just more evil in it. But there is alot of good in Middle earth too

[EveningStar]

Narnia, because Aslan's there.

[Eressea]

oooh, ooh, are u sayin g that u like my banner?? :D im happy if u are, cause altho it was simple, it was a pain in the neck to do,.. kinda trial and error... didnt turn out as well as i would have liked tho...

yes, yes, really.. me is not evil! i mnea, no world is wholly evil, is it? it might just be made up of some... unsavoury charachters?...

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Middle Earth! Definately!! And then I would choose Hobbitton. I love to visit Rivendell and Lothlorien. And it would be an honor to meet Galadriel.
Both worlds are amazing. And as far as evil goes, I think evil is not only in ME. In Narnia there is also evil. In both books there is eil from the beginning. Iluvatar created ME and there was Melkor who became jealous and we all know what he did. And in Narnia, there was Jadis who was there from the beginning and she was evil too. I believe in every book or world, you have good vs evil. But back to the topic....Yes, I would love to walk through ME.

[purplemonkeyhunter]

Middle Earth definetly.

[Eressea]

um... topic... topic... heh... kinda forgot what it was for a sec there.... oh yes..

MIDDLE EARTH RULES!

[Pippin]

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This should be easy! I should choose Middle Earth but Narnia also has a bit of a tug on my heart :(
This is not Fauntastic. Not Fauntastic at all!

[Rohan Princess]

Not if I am the one who will end up being dinner.
If you were more careful, you wouldn't end up that way now would you?
GO MIDDLE EARTH!!!

[arventhedibbun]

i like narnia better bcause it has more creatures although i think elves r awsome

[Eressea]

sigh... again a peoples thinking that me has less races than narnia,...

[Rohan Princess]

Guess you'll have to list them all again, Eressea...lol My godness ya'll post fast!

[The Dancing Lawn]

There both bettr than each other!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

The races of ME?
Elves (more elvish races are mentioned when you read the Silmarillion)
Dwarfs
Hobbits (Yeah!!!) (but also more than one race of periannath are mentioned)
Men (many different races here also)
Orcs (Hahahaha, how many Orcs are left???)
Trolls
Spiders (Shelob was I believe the last giant spider)
Eagles (weren't they a famous band also?)

[Mithmëoi]

I don't know. I love both, but just for the sake of giving Middle-earth more votes, I voted for it.

[Rohan Princess]

That's not a very good reason Mithmeoi. lol do you really like living in ME?

[Eressea]

no... its not a very good reason at all, my precious, not at all..

lol.. but it reminds me somewhat of myself,.. i will always root for the loosing team on any sport of whatnot, if i dont have a preference... but not with ME!!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Look, this is a Narnia board, so what else would we expect from Narnia fans? :p Ask the same question on the LOTR boards and then ME will be in the lead ;)
I love both worlds, but ME is my favorite.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

oooh, ooh, are u sayin g that u like my banner?? :D im happy if u are, cause altho it was simple, it was a pain in the neck to do,.. kinda trial and error... didnt turn out as well as i would have liked tho...

yes, yes, really.. me is not evil! i mnea, no world is wholly evil, is it? it might just be made up of some... unsavoury charachters?...
yes your banner :D

[Pippin]

I still dont know!!!!!! :(

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Pip, you will soon find out :D

[Eressea]

heh.. yea, i guess.. how did i end up here anyway, i wonder?.. oh well.. me SHOULD still win anyway. :)
hmm.. that sounds suspicius.....

[*~Luthien~*]

Me narnia, but middle earth is so beautiful as well

[*cair*paravel*queen*210]

hi, i like narnia better, but i don't know much about middle earth

[she-elfwarrior19]

Narnia is winning the poll woop woop:)

[*~Luthien~*]

Middle Earth is breath taking, but Narnia seems more peaceful you know?

[The Dancing Lawn]

Middle Earth is breath taking, but Narnia seems more peaceful you know?

Ya think??!!! LOL!!! :D

[Twilightdryadhobbit]

Well, look at Middle Earth after Aragorn gets to be king! Things are pretty peaceful for a looooong time. The hobbits are happy, the men are happy, the elves.....well the elves leave, but I guess you could call them semi-happy at least. Middle Earth looks a lot prettier than Narnia. And I'm more attached to the characters, and how the places are described in the books.I think I'd go to Middle Earth just a little before the Lord of the Rings, be escorted around by Tom Bombadil, since nothing in Middle Earth, not even the ring, bothers him. Then I'd stick around with Aragorn, as the Fellowship goes there merry way, because nothing really happens bad to Aragorn, and he'll take out ANY amount of orcs or WHATEVER to get his kingdom back and marry Arwen. So if I just stick by him, he'll protect me from whatever thing is out for my blood. Then I'd hang with Eowyn in Rohan until the Helms Deep thing blew over (Perhaps using my bow from Galadriel -a girl can dream!-on a couple of orcs along the way). Then I'd either get my courage up to charge with the Rohirrim, or kind of chicken out, and go with Pippin and Gandalf to Minas Tirith and get to hang with the ever sweet and lovable Faramir (sigh... More dreaming) and his ever insane and rude father, Denethor, until Aragorn came in and saved the city. Then I'd probably hang out with the houses of healing people until the last battle was over, but I'd ride out on an eagle to greet the poor hobbits once they were done tossing the ring in Mount Doom. Then I'd just stick around with the Fellowship, and maybe I'd find a nice man from Gondor or Rohan to marry, or maybe a nice elf who wanted to stick around Middle Earth. Anyway, that's why I'd like to go to Middle Earth. It's what I've dreamed about ever since I read the books.

[Queen Swanwhite]

I like Narnia better, definatley! I've read LOTR but, narnia was better! :D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Hey! Maybe me and Pippin can visite you and your future Gondorian or elvish hubby :D

[Rohan Princess]

Narnia is winning the poll woop woop:)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...just kidding even if Narnia's more peaceful, i still totally love ME.

[Twilightdryadhobbit]

Hey! Maybe me and Pippin can visite you and your future Gondorian or elvish hubby :D

Of course you may. We'll leave the door open for you. Make sure he remembers all those cool songs he sang in the movie, so he can dance on the table and sing them. ;) Are you sure you aren't my sister by the way? She's in love with Pippin too.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Maybe in disguise :D I will make sure Pippin will sing his songs. When he has enough pints, it must be okay ;)

[CatMandoo]

I definitely think that Narnia is beautiful and peaceful, but Middle Earth is just so much more intriguing to me. The characters, the epic adventures, all of the different cultures and diversities are just so mind-blowing. Ah....my imagination is going loopy right now! But I can totally see people's viewpoint about Narnia. It was a hard decision to make, but alas, I chose Middle Earth. XD

[Rohan Princess]

hurray another vote, thanks CatMandoo!!!!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Hahahahaha! As I said before...this is of course a Narnia site. What else would we expect? Ask the same question on the LOTR site and it is the complete opposite. But it is clear the fans love both much ;)

[Phils Girl]

it was avery hard decision but i chooose Narnia because of Aslan

[Rohan Princess]

ok ok i'll be quiet for a while jus' kiddin' you have no such luck sorry haha

[Knight Aaron of Narnia]

That's EASY I choose the Real Narnia,
because I could stay in Narnia,
and I could hop over to Middle Earth to visit!!!!

[Eressea]

sigh... but ME should be the best anywhere...

[Knight Aaron of Narnia]

I LOVE ME!!!
AND NARNIA!!!
But my fav. is ME,
I read LOTR before TCON!

[SiriusSpells]

Of course the answer is Middle Earth.

[redsoxfreak01]

Narnia all the way!
I tried reading LOTR, but (don't hate me for this!) I got soooo bored! But I'm thinking of trying to read them again - everybody I know really loves them.

[DifferentFree]

I cave, I like Middle Earth because I LOVE how much Tolkien put into the History and the story and the background stuff. So I would say ME, though Narnia is nice too, I still love Narnia! I think I'm just more of a ME girl, thehee.

[Moe92]

Narnia. ever the evil places are pretti

[Rohan Princess]

see i'm an ME girl too. Moe92 i love your avitar.

[*Hawaii Beach Babe*]

I would love to be in Middle Earth.

[Crimson]

i would much rather go to narnia becuz of all the magical places and mythical beasts!! Narnia just seems more real than Middle earth

[glamel]

choices, choices,... I knew ive answered a question like this before but I'll answer again,
Im going to Narnia on Spring, Middle Earth on Fall, Narnia on summer, Middle Earth on winter or vise versa.
I can would like also to pay a couple of visit to hogwarts:D

[Crimson]

BOO for harry potter........

[glamel]

for you it is, for me its not.....

[lions mane]

well, i was first introduced to narnia when i was in the 3rd grade, and i was first introduced to middle earth when the fellowship came out in theaters ( :o ). so i think it's very obvious where this is going! ya know?

well, i've said before (although i love narnia with every breath in my body, does that sound weird? hmmm...) The Return of the king is the greatest movie of all time, but if it came to the books, Narnia sweeps in every cataogry. ya know?

now, if it came to where i would most like to visit? it's a very hard decision. ya know? there's the animals and the pure goodness of the land in Narnia, but there's the elves and the wonderfull (not that Narnia doesn't have landscape) landscape of middle earth. it really comes down to what you love the most and in this case i have to say i would most want to be in Narnia! (although, middle earth does have pretty elves (liv) ya know?). i say Narnia because i would kill to visit Cair Paravel (i can't believe i dunno how to spell that, well it's late) and just everything else i can think of. ya know?

peace and love

[dwarfmaster77]

middle earth is soooo much better!!!!
NARNIA DOESN'T HAVE ELVES!?!?!?!?!!!!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

LOTR is something magical. It is a world in which you get lost so easily and never want to return to real world.
Maybe it's the way Tolkien has written the story. But Narnia is definitly worth to buy a summerhouse. A winterhouse in ME and a summerhouse in Narnia.

[*Hawaii Beach Babe*]

middle earth is soooo much better!!!!
NARNIA DOESN'T HAVE ELVES!?!?!?!?!!!!
I know! And the elves Rock!!!! Middle Earth would be so much better than Narnia.

[Jamie]

Whilst we're on the subject is it true that Middle Earth is based on Wales? I know Tolkien was fascinated w/ the Welsh language.

[Rohan Princess]

Elves Totally rock!!!!! and you have to be in Middle Earth to see them...everyone follow me-jk

[Grey Pilgrim]

middle earth would be my choice to live in just relaxing in minas trith or visting the Riddermark(rohan) just imagnie riding your horse across the vast green fields or walking thourgh minas trith and having a drink with your buddys after a long days work or riding out to glory for your lord and land so middle earth over narnia anyday

[Rohan Princess]

[Neevil]

I really can't make up my mind. Middle Earth is more complex, but narnia was my first love. Narnia has one half of my heart and Middle Earth has the other! I love them both!
