Well, in all my posts about the films, I should add that I'm not thinking of Jackson as the director, nor of his writing team, when I propose theoretical variations that could have been.
For example: if Arwen is to be expanded, I think that she could be introduced even earlier in a film (earlier than Jackson introduced her) -- not much earlier, but in a flashback to the first meeting of Aragorn and Arwen, taken from the Appendices. Then possibly have Legolas meet Aragorn and the hobbits... sure it's not great, but if all directors really must run away from introducing 'a character that essentially vanishes later', like Glorfindel, well in that case I find it superior to using Arwen here, at least. But again, none of this directed or written by the Jackson team! I don't want Legolas surfing across the Bruinen or anything! Last edited by Galin : 07-07-2010 at 11:00 AM. |

That's true concerning the animated film, and I wonder if that influenced Jackson's decision a bit (it had already been done).
But Jackson's (or his team's) statement reads... Quote:
To my mind using Legolas could have solved what is noted here as 'problematic' -- at least according to the filmmakers. Last edited by Galin : 08-13-2010 at 11:11 PM. |
