Where's Aiglos?
I have realized something. After the battle where Gil-Galad and Elendil died, and Aiglos and Narcil were set together in Imladris, how come in the movie you can't see Aiglos in Rivendel with the shards of Narcil. I know they made Aiglos, because in the prologue of FOTR, they shot Gil-Galad fighting. His name is even in the credits. And I know, thank's to "The Lord of the Rings Weapons and Warfare", that he definitly used it. So how come it's not in sight in Rivendel? It should've been close to Narcil, to show the bond of the two kings....so where is it?

Aiglos proably wasn't set together with narsil because Elrond thought that since Isuildur wasn't able to destroy the ring, Aiglos shouldn't be set with Narsil, but that's just my opinion.

Um...Gil-Galad, are you speaking from the Book P.O.V. or the Movie P.O.V.? Because the book POV says that Aiglos was set aside Narcil. And if you are taking about the movie version, please explain your logic, because i don't understand it!

The movie, I think that Elrond didn't set them side-by-side because he thought that Narsil was "unworthy" so to speak.

Why put Aiglos in the movie at all? It didn't need to be in Rivendell since half of it was shown for less than a second. But the book is another matter.

I looked at the galleries and watched the Boromir and Aragorn scene, the one with the shards of Narsil, and I think Aiglos was in there. There were pairs of spears displayed on either side of the Isildur and Sauron mural. Maybe Aiglos was one of those. The annoying part about the movie's Gil-galad to me is this: "His shining helm afar was seen" in the book, in the movie he has a wussy little crown of laurels. "The countless stars of heaven's field were mirrored in his silver shield" in the book, in the movie there are stars etched on his golden shield.
