<B>Elentari</B>, whether you're being sarcastic or not, I'll explain why it would be bad to give 'Leggy' some more stunts.<P>Legolas would be seen, quite unfairly, as remorseless and unforgiving to another Child of Iluvatar, despite Frodo's forgiveness in the book. It detracts dignity from the character of Legolas.<P>As for Wormtongue, it will only emphasise the message to the audience that Wormtongue is just another bad guy who's death does not matter and should be cheered. It completely abandons the sad and hopeless tale of his life that was so tragic in the book.
