Eowyn and Arwen: "Warrior Princess"

I have heard from a few reliable sources that Arwen's character will be expanded and transformed into a kind of Tolkien version Xena. Not only is this sick and stupid, its unnecesary. I think that a strong female character is needed, because in LOTR most women are portrayed as typical beautiful people who just sit around untill the men are have solved all the problems. But Arwen isn't needed for the "Warrior Princess" role, Eowyn makes a great female Warrior, doncha think?

yep,
but do you know anything re: an anti arwen/xena petition a friend told me about it but the link to it was dead.

Please look around before you start a new thread, there are a number that touch on and discuss this issue in this forum.
