I believe it was just a flat out sign of disrespect. Estel mentions before how Gandalf respected Denethor, which is true, but I could not see any repect from Mithrandir in the movies.
Ever since TTT Gimli basically became a source of comic relief for viewers, which is too bad- yet his character was still developed as a hot-headed dwarf who strayed from being polite at times. It was rather fitting at that point to show the careless dwarf disrepecting the Stewardship of Gondor. (btw all my dwarf descriptions taken through movie characterization, not book!) Of course before long Gimli came out with another comical line while in the chair, to further add to Jackson's characterization.

Besides, if that is the scale double instead of JRD, then I have to ask why have Gimli sitting in Denethor's chair? Why not just let him stand up along with the rest of the characters instead?

I wasn't speaking to you in the particular Estel, and I agree with you about the need to keep threads alive but I think this one will be ok.
![]() I agree with Bombadil, that whole scene was a bit of a sham. The Last Debate chapter in the book was absolutely heart-breaking for me. In the film Gimli rounds it off with that terrible line ("Small chance of success, what are we waiting for !?") and the scene completely misses the point. And I know this isn't necessary to point out right now, but Legolas.....A diversion? You're kidding! ![]() I really dislike this scene.
