PJ's butchering of the stories

[Sapphire_Flame]

Here are my thoughts on those "changes":<P><B>Third Film Opens With Narsil Being Reforged</B> - No. It actually opens with a flashback to when Deagol and Smeagol find the Ring. *This is stated in a magazine article; PJ himself verified it.*<P><B>Eowyn Can't Compete With Arwen</B> - No; Elrond, not Arwen, brings Anduril to Aragorn. We all saw this bit in the trailer people, come on.<P><B>Gandalf Never Takes Palantír</B> - False; Gandalf does get it, and then Pippin steals it. There are pictures to confirm this.<P><B>Arwen helps Aragorn Use Palantír</B> - The "Credibility Rating" on this one was a big, fat *ZERO!* Come on people, really...<P><B>Merry and Pippin Wake Up in Edoras</B> - Yes. There are pictures of this, including the ones of Pippin stealing the palantir. It seems they go to Edoras instead of back to Helm's Deep.<P><B>Scouring of the Shire Cut</B> - *sobs* This is the saddest change. That was my favorite part in the books!<P>A lot of these I don't really believe, like the Elves showing up at the Black Gate (I think Lorien had enough problems of its own at the moment...). I think I'll just wait it out, and see what happens in December.<P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~
