arwen

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Joy, I'd have to agree with you. <BR>If Arwen hadn't proven how utterly inept she was with that weapon when she poked it at her friends - for those who don't read further up, no competent swordsman, archer, whatever Ever does such a thing. And we know that, deep down, when we see this cornpone, because it's common sense - anyways, without that proof of idiotic bravado and ineptitude, her credibility would not have been decimated the first moment she appeared on screen. <P>It still seems improbable she would have found them, especially on horseback. PJ does not have Tolkien's woodcraft. The only reason Glorfindel found them was because they were forced to use the road. <P>But if we removed that ludicrous moment with the sword, and she caught up with them on the road as Glorfindel did, then that line at Bruinen would have merely been irredeemable and emasculating to Frodo.
