Not that it put me over the edge either (unlike the Valinor boat ride...
), it's just that PJ did it deliberately, and so I figured that he was trying to say
something.
Or maybe the costume crew was too busy with the "To Valinor or Bust!" crowd to notice.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "flawed." The two characters are shown to have a deep commitment to each other (once again, aside from the stupid boat to Valinor thing; if anything, I'd be more critical of that) while they engage the forces of evil and battle temptation. I don't see any flaws in that scene that one could write off as modern reinventions; at least "flaw" is not the word I would use.

Your word is better - pretentious. I want my heroes and heroines larger than life, not at my level or lower. This isn't Sam and Rosie (wasn't Sam's shirt buttoned in the Green Dragon? ) but the new rulers of Middle Earth.
Thanks for your comments.
