I know Aragorn had to be a hard ass to have not only survived all he had but to push his way into the kingship but really, I prefer Viggo's softer Aragorn. Our ranger had a good heart above all things, was willing to sacrifice his own agenda to make things better and a gruff nasty Aragorn just doesn't suit.

Can you tell I've still reading Inzilbeth's book? Love it too by-the-way! :)
I don't think either version of Aragorn was ever gruff and nasty, thank goodness. Confident, tough-minded (if you ignore the silly "turned his back on this destiny" movie nonsense), and diplomatic, plus of course, hard-ass with Sauron and his ilk!
