Er...this sounds pretty much from the movie, not from the book. Do you have any textual evidence for this? Because this certainly isn't the feeling I got.

We are talking about the movies here. So it seems to me that whatever the new movies do has to be more consistent to the existing movies than the books.

I had to let go of the movies closely following the book a long time ago. If I hadn't, I would still be pissed off about the ending in Return of the King. To each his/her own.

Forgive me, it's just my extroverted self.

Yes, Jon, but we're hanging in general.

I would expect the contrast between the areas held by elves and the murky areas to be stark.

Of course Mirkwood is deciduous near the elven halls. "The beeches were their favorite trees." They walk through a beech forest, then a valley filled with oaks, one of which Bilbo climbs to see the butterflies.
