I would have thought Arwen would be more along the lines of "Most likely to love PJ forever and ever because he actually gave her an active role"...

Oh no, in the books she was a real lady and knew her place was to inspire Aragorn, not fight beside him (that was Eowyn's role). PJ made her look for like Xena, and totally wrecked her character in the movies for most book fans. Besides that, he chose a rather untalented actress to play her. If I was the real Arwen, I know I'd be pretty ticked off.

Heh. Xena... my aunt was obsessed with that show. Anyway, i see your point. i too noticed this at the movie theatre... I kept thinking it was someone else

... The roles were too far apart.

I'm Xena the Arwen-Movie wanna-be ! I have returned for my role! ELELELELEEE!

Yes, my dry humour strikes again!
Hope you like EM...

Heh. Nice one, Ka.

Elven-Maiden-- I agree, it was quite out of character but I guess I can see why PJ decided to give her a more active role... having a love interest who's almost never mentioned wouldn't have flown so well for the general moviegoing public...

By the way, cute avatar!

Um, when exactly in the films did she fight alongside Aragorn or act in any way like Xena?

Actually, for that matter, when did Eowyn ever fight alongside Aragorn in either the book or the films?

Now let's get back on topic, shall we?

Elven-Maiden · 11-19-2004, 07:20 PM

Okay, you caught me.

But Arwen did take the reins (since there weren't any reins when you're riding bareback, but you get the point) when she rescued Frodo from the Wraiths and rode him to Rivendell. That whole chase scene reminded me very much of Xena.

Having said that, I can understand why PJ did it. Glorfindel isn't really as important to the movie as Aragorn's love interest, which is why she got his part. I just don't think his choice for expanding her role was appropriate.

And you're right, Eowyn didn't technically fight alongside Aragorn, but she did fight.

And thanks Enca!

Indeed. *nodnod* *loves silver* But, add a bit of copper and...

Best creature to ride (get your minds out of the gutter!): A dwimmerlaik. Or possibly a balrog.
