'Legolas is Daryl Dixon with better hygiene: Tolkienites postulate which LOTR hero would be the best companion in a zombie apocalypse

We all like to think that we'd be clever enough to survive a zombie apocalypse. There are so many movies and TV shows out there that act as a survival guide (or at least a 'what not to do' cautionary tale) that witty people have grown an overdeveloped sense of arrogance in their own survival proficiency. But at the end of the day, can any of us make arrows, grow corn, or hunt? Exactly.

And if one thing's certain about the zombie apocalypse, it's that you don't get very far on your own.

So naturally, Lord of the Rings fans have asked ourselves a very important hypothetical question as a test to our zombie apocalypse proficiency–which hero from the LOTR universe would you rather have by your side at the end of the world? Would it be Aragorn and his unironic army of the dead? Would it be Gimli and his axe? Would it be Eowyn and her soup?

Scroll onward to read the funniest responses to a time-tested question, and let's hope none of us will ever have to test this knowledge in the real world.
