Oh no, in the books she was a real lady and knew her place was to inspire Aragorn, not fight beside him (that was Eowyn's role). PJ made her look for like Xena, and totally wrecked her character in the movies for most book fans. Besides that, he chose a rather untalented actress to play her. If I was the real Arwen, I know I'd be pretty ticked off.

Heh. Xena... my aunt was obsessed with that show. Anyway, i see your point. i too noticed this at the movie theatre... I kept thinking it was someone else :rolleyes: ... The roles were too far apart.

I'm Xena the Arwen-Movie wanna-be ! I have returned for my role! ELELELELEEE!

Yes, my dry humour strikes again!
Hope you like EM...

~Another annoying ka Post~

Heh. Nice one, Ka.

Elven-Maiden-- I agree, it was quite out of character but I guess I can see why PJ decided to give her a more active role... having a love interest who's almost never mentioned wouldn't have flown so well for the general moviegoing public...

By the way, cute avatar!

Point of order
 

Um, when exactly in the films did she fight alongside Aragorn or act in any way like Xena? :rolleyes:

Actually, for that matter, when did Eowyn ever fight alongside Aragorn in either the book or the films? :confused:

Now let's get back on topic, shall we?

Indeed. *nodnod* *loves silver* But, add a bit of copper and... :eek: (in a very, very good way.)

Best creature to ride (get your minds out of the gutter!): A dwimmerlaik. Or possibly a balrog.

Most likely to die tragically: Arwen

Most likely to die amusingly: Pippin (does everything amusingly!)

Okay, you caught me. :D But Arwen did take the reins (since there weren't any reins when you're riding bareback, but you get the point) when she rescued Frodo from the Wraiths and rode him to Rivendell. That whole chase scene reminded me very much of Xena.

Having said that, I can understand why PJ did it. Glorfindel isn't really as important to the movie as Aragorn's love interest, which is why she got his part. I just don't think his choice for expanding her role was appropriate.

And you're right, Eowyn didn't technically fight alongside Aragorn, but she did fight.


And thanks Enca! :)

~Just another Ka Post~

Going back to the yearbook thing...
 

... I was voted "Most shy" for my eighth grade personality ballot. I couldn't believe it. I am NOT a shy person. I was so mad I almost didn't show up for the picture, but figured it would just prove their point so I did anyway. I don't think they realized how potientally hurtful it was. It's almost on par with being voted "Class Nerd" which is what most people saw me as...ANYWAY (holding deep resentment for the personality ballot....)

Voting LOTR characters, eh?

Cutest couple: Sam and Rosie, or Eowyn and Faramir
Strangest: Grima Wormtongue
Best-Looking: Pippin, Frodo, and Faramir in my opinion, but if people were actually voting, I think Leggo would get it.
Most Ruggedly handsome: Aragorn.
Would die for true love: Arwen
Most likely to be King: Aragorn
Class Pyro: Denethor
Class Clown: Pippin and Merry
Most likely to kick your butt: Eowyn
Most...uhm...unique...: Tom Bombadil
Most Corruptive: The One Ring, Sauron
Shyest (the hated category): Radagast the Brown (he'd prefer to live with the birds!)
Most downright frightening: Ringwraiths 1-9, conclusive
Class Egomaniac: Boromir
Most likely to wind up looking like a pincushion: Boromir

OK, I'm having too much fun with this...
