Maybe so; however I liked the Legolas/Gimli connection seen briefly in FOTR EE where Gimli recounts the gift given to him by Legolas (who smiles). Their relationship could have had a few less comic (dare I say 'more serious'
?) moments.
And the "She-Elf" line is at the top of my list. I accepted Arwen taking He-Hobbit Frodo's place at the Fords, but come on...the Nazgul seemed silly thereafter.
