How dare they!!!
But we have to admit that in today's society, people are much more interested in out-of-this-world characters, like Arwen and Galadriel who are Elves. Eowyn, though no doubt the most admirable female character in the movies, mirrors pretty much the woman of the present: strong-willed and a fighter. Beautiful though she is, I think the ordinary book-ignorant would prefer to see the beauty of the Elves.
Hmph. Their loss.
