Death portrayal

[Lathriel]

I think PJ did all the deaths well and was able to keep them from becoming super cheesy.

I agree with the others that there wasn't time to show that Eru thought of death as a gift. Besides it could mean you would have to bring Eru into the script and half of the audience would be thinking, "who is Eru?"

Most of the deaths in LOTR were heroic. Well, I should probably say all of them and I like the way PJ did them.

Actually, PJ DID put Eru in, you just can hardly tell. When Aragorn is marching around the walls of Helm's Deep, encouraging the Elven Warriors, he says "Children of Eru, show no mercy! For you shall be shown none!" But they don't transcribe the "Children of Eru" part.

Wish that was Elvish knowledge of mine, but alas, it only came from a website.
