Heh, quite possibly. I suggest we all rush out and buy Haldir memorabilia and stash it!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>You say it was better that they cut Glorfindel. EXCUSE ME! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Was this directed towards me? I didn't know. I don't think it was <I>better</I> that they cut Glorfindel, I love Glorfindel, he's one of my favourite characters. What I was saying was that I understand <I>why</I> they cut him, and how it might have been beneficial in trying not to confuse newcomers to the story, who have to deal with learning many new characters of various races. But I would have loved Glorfindel in the story, and Erestor too. Dammit, the Council was a shambles.<P>And with Arwen, I think half of her appeal in the books was the enigma behind the whole love story. We know next to nothing about it until we read the appendices. It's mysterious, as is she. Who is this elusive Elf who Aragorn's pining over, is she really almost Luthien-hot? It's a tease, it's fun and intriguing. Not having her as some bloody Amazonian warrior chick, stealing Gandalf and Elrond's Bruinen tricks.<P>But, going back a bit, in the Extended dvd, I would have liked those Elves passing through the woods to be Gildor and his posse, and that they had interacted with Frodo and Sam. But they're simply more names to digest, names which aren't crucial to the story.
