What do you think will be in the EE? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-28-2004, 07:17 AM

Ah yes, the Gothmog threads have been plentiful and heated!

I don't know about the rest of you but I cannot wait to see movie-Gothmog sliced apart by Aragorn.

What I'm particularly disappointed about is that the films don't include the banter between Gimli and Eomer regarding Galadriel and then Arwen. I think this example of humour from the book is a fine example of Tolkien-style humour. ("Then I must go for my axe.") Unfortunately, while most of the 'humour' does seem to revolve around Gimli, it is merely unfunny slapstick.

Despite the lack of this, I'm still hopeful that they will include the grand feast in Gondor at the end of the film. But will the Elves be there?

I thought that Sam mainly used the Phial of Galadriel to break the will of the Watchers?

Ah, good point. I was getting mixed up. That's made me a lot more hopeful for some interaction with the Watchers.

Think you that there may be a possibility that we see the statue of the king that Frodo goes past? I'm sure I've seen stills of that somewhere...

I really want to see Merry and Éowyn on their way to the Houses of Healing...Merry in particular. That part of the book was heartbreaking for me.

I've read from a reliable source, tolkienonline.com, that Eomer doesn't cry over Eowyn or Theoden. The trailer shows Eomer crying over an older man with shoulder length hair, and I have read that is GAMLING. I sure as heck hope that it's not Gamling, if it is I might go mad.

That sounds a little strange O_o. I mean, Gamling is the captain & all, but for Eomer to wail over the loss of him? I still think it'll probably be Theoden or Eowyn, since someone has got to find them I wouldn't be suprised if it's Eomer. Maybe I'm just saying that because I'd rather believe it than believe the Gamling story, though

I think it is more likely that Eomer will be crying over Eowyn due to it was in the book. I don't remember if he actually wept over her, but he was the one to find her. (I think)

Sorry about posting back to back, but I had a thought...

What about running time? How much time do you think it would take to show the extended scenes on-screen?

The return of Bill the Pony, it has to be on EE or I shall cry.
