I don't believe that Movielas is overshadowing Moviegorn, except in the lovelorn eyes of certain star-struck moviegoers. He has not been allowed any real character development (with the excellent excuse that he <I>has</I> no character), and I think that his main function is as advisor and friend to Aragorn. He enables us to see that Aragorn is not some grubby no-name with no mates. Legolas points out Aragorn's heritage to us, and in TTT points out how brave he is for staying to help Rohan. In FOTR he even nicely helps out by taking one of Aragorn's lines for him - pointing out crebain for Dunland (with the notable handicap of never having been there). Hey, wait! Maybe you're right!!!
