Tolkien's works would certainly be refined and deepened by a sympathetic, butt-kicking (And oddly alluring!) girl-orc-character or three. Or yrcharacters as we'd be down-right obligated to call them.

Well, I'd feel obligated, anyway.

In terms of what you said here, Aaron:

In truth, it's the result of the whole ethos of the movie. The actress isn't to blame. They wanted to make The Hobbit into an action trilogy, and she got shoehorned into the love interest role. It's quite a shame. She would have made a good Orc.

What annoyed me so much was the seemingly endless publicity at the time of statements that the new female Elf wasn't being introduced as a love interest...

I heard that the actress was quite insistent that she not be given a romantic subplot, but upon actually filming the thing was told that was precisely their plan.
The truth of this I don't know, but it would fit in with the wider incompetence of the troubled production.

That's very interesting, Aaron. If true, she, as well as ourselves, was also lied to by the relevant people.

I find that very interesting because I don't remember seeing that anywhere before.

Is there a source you could point to? I'm curious to see this.

To her credit, she did the best she could with the material she was given. But it's sad she was treated so badly.

Thanks for the link, Aaron. What I read is, very sadly, not surprising...

Indeed - I felt very sorry for her having to act it. I also felt very sorry for myself having to watch it. Excruciating.

She at least received compensation for her work.

I had to pay for the privilege...or rather some other people did.
