We all know that Gimli got it pretty bad in the films as the scapegoat for and of a ton of the jokes. Why do you suppose they did this? Because of his height compared to Legolas and Aragorn at the Breaking of the Fellowship? I mean, he really only truly becomes a clown-like character after the Fellowship is broken.

Why do you think PJ did this? I will say some jokes Gimli cracks or takes are funny, but I think it was overdone to the point where it daunted his character. With relationships such as Pippin and Gandalf for some comedy, why do you suppose Gimli got it so bad?
