Bizarre!!!!
I know nothing of this subject beyond what you have just said, but I'll admit to being amazed. Eowyn has, after all, one of the most media-friendly roles in the story, being a fighting female, young, beautiful, and blonde. To downplay her is... shocking!
Now, personally, I like Elrond over Eowyn, any day. And I'm glad to see Eomer get some of the spotlight he deserves. But this is... odd.
If you're right in your perceptions, this is VERY confusing...
