Unworthy? That's why he put Narsil on a raised pedestal?

I looked at the galleries and watched the Boromir and Aragorn scene, the one with the shards of Narsil, and I think Aiglos was in there. There were pairs of spears displayed on either side of the Isildur and Sauron mural. Maybe Aiglos was one of those.

The annoying part about the movie's Gil-galad to me is this:
"His shining helm afar was seen" in the book, in the movie he has a wussy little crown of laurels.
"The countless stars of heaven's field were mirrored in his silver shield" in the book, in the movie there are stars etched on his golden shield.
