So which is the better of the brothers? Boromir or Faramir?

Would do both desu

Boromir.

Anyone who picks faracuck is literally /reddit/

I like both. They're both good men with understandable motives

Faramir was never tempted by the ring though.
Plus he's still alive.

>>79763448
t. Denethor

>no hopes and dreams

>leather or plate

>>79763542
>no wish to save his kingdom
>no fealty to his lord and father

Literally charges in a suicide run in an attempt to assist the people of Gondor and please his father

Boromir was the better fighter but Faramir was a great fighter in his own right, the more learned of the two and had great leadership skills. He was the better brother altogether.

>lets the one thing that could have been used as a bargaining tool or weapon against sauron slip away
>charges heedless into battle after misinterpreting his fathers wishes like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum

I know you're playing devils advocate but c'mon

Why does Denethor hate Faramir?

Boromir = Brandon Stark
Faramir = Ned Stark

>>79763668
>a bargaining tool or weapon against Sauron

They literally explain why they can't do this in the first film and book.

>>79763696
I think because he wasn't as great as Boromir was.

>>79763696
From what I can gather it's because he's not Boromir. He's angry that Boromir is dead and that Faramir is alive, so he's angry at Faramir.

>>79763728
Faramir doesn't know that

>>79763765
But did he hate him also when Boromir was alive?

>>79763668
>misinterpreting his fathers wishes

"You know that place you just lost, go take it back"

...but we're outnumbered by the thousands

"Go take it back"

*attempts to take it back*
Don't see much misinterpretation here, Denethor was just a retard

>>79763786
I haven't read the books so I'm not entirely sure, but no I don't believe so. Before he was lord I think he loved both of his children, just Boromir slightly more

>>79763786
Yes. Denethor didn't like that Faramir was more bookish than Boromir, even though Faramir was a good fighter too. That and it's a simple matter of parents always liking their first born the most.

>go take it back
>hurr I'll charge into osgilliath with a handful of men durr

And faramir was supposedly the smart one lmao

>>79763696
Imagine if your eldest son was Sean Bean. Handsome, capable, successful.

Then he dies and you're left with some beta bitch cuccboi to carry on your legacy.

>>79763898
Those horsemen were all the men they had available. Denethor knew this but still insisted his son attack anyway.

>>79763264
Canonically Faramir.

>He is not as other men of this time, Pippin, and whatever be his descent from father to son, by some chance the blood of Westernesse runs nearly true in him; as it does in his other son, Faramir, and yet did not in Boromir whom he loved best.

>>79763264
Faramir was a badass ranger who didn't succumb to the lure of the ring. Boromir was a weak willed faggot.
