Will Tauriel die in the 3rd movie?

[Bêthberry]

Radagast will have a huge scene where he pleads for the life of the dragon Smaug, as not so much a bad spawn of Satan or bad banker but simply a misunderstood animal. PETA will be the acknowledged advisors for this scene, because without them the RRabbits would have been fed to the dragon.

This earnest pleading earns him such loathing from the dwarves that he is pelted with rotten mushrooms and bird dung and runs away. The smell of him attracts some orcs who break away from the battle to catch hi--thereby saving the day and allowing the good guys to win--but he falls down a rabbit hole and meets the Red Queen who promptly proclaims, "Off with his head". Luckily he discovers that some of the rotten mushroom stuck to him is edible and it shrinks him so she can no longer see him, thereby saving him for his non-appearance in LotR.

Along with Tauriel, PJ will also kill of Legolas, then promptly bring him back to life with Radagast's healing crystal.
It makes perfect sense.

Look for the Frumious Bandersnatch in the extended edition. Maybe Grace Slick will come out of retirement and sing over the closing credits.

Now that the new trailer is out, I think it's safe to say that the terrible romance subplot is going to be forced upon us once again. I really hope that Tauriel is nowhere near Kili when he dies, because if she is, it's just going to be disgusting.

I'm under the impression that the rock handing scene happened while Kili was dying.

No-oo… my guess is that’s an early, pre-battle scene of Very Subtle Foreshadowing; however, there’s a brief shot towards the end of the trailer in which our favourite red-headed Elf-Sue is shown weeping, and I’d guess that’s when Kili actually kicks the bucket. There’s also a shot of Tauriel being flung against a wall, so that might be when *she* dies.

I'm not sure whether you're ok with the terribad romance subplot, or just being sarcastic.
People are allowed to like their favourite characters, unless the character never existed. Screw Tauriel, she's a terrible plot device which should just be eaten by Smaug for some reason.

It’s okay, I was, in fact, being sarcastic.
