In Defense of PJ

[Diamond18]

I know it's fun to bash people...probably why I posted the "Arwen Joins the Quest" picture. To further bash the Brothers Hildebrandt...notice that in the picture of Éowyn and the Witch-King, there is no trace of Merry. Naughty H. Bros...<P>In this case it bothered me to see Glorfindel drop out of the sky and redirect the discussion. I think people get more upset about him than even Tom Bombadil (or dear Fatty...) just because he was replaced by a female. I read someone once say that the cartoon was better because it had Legolas replace Glorfindel. What? No "I hate Legolas where was Glorfindel" rants? I'm not a proponent of feminist re-writes, but I get annoyed by anti-female sentiments as well. And yes, I do believe that females can and do express anti-female sentiments.<P>What I mean to say is, you (I use the term generally, becuase I know it's a popular complaint) can certainly dislike the change, but at least admit that there was some rational behind it. I.E. Arwen is more important later on than Glorfindel. It wasn't purely motivated by appeasing feminists, because it wouldn't appease them totally.<P>Anyway, here I go writing about the ol' Glorfy debate when I didn't mean to. Drat.
