--- Zitat von: LordDainIronfoot am 10. Aug 2015, 20:49 ---Exactly as you say Walkure!!There are so more better stuff to be shown and developed!PJ just ruined his Movies with those two and with the whole Love Triangle thing!! :)

--- Ende Zitat ---

The Love Triangle was really a bad choice, also because they didn't naturally manage to develop decently this aspect of the plot, ending up just showing a heavily watered down love story between an Elf and a Dwarf  8-|

But the positive thing is, I think, unlike ranks and ranks of Tolkien purists (or just very skilled cinematography fans and lovers  :P), that I really liked from the beginning the addition of Tauriel as a completely new character.
And I'm also very glad that she will be part of Lothlórien in the game  ;)

I am no purist and I like both Movies and Books each is great i ntheri own way!But the last Movie was good it just could have been great and much better!
I too like the adding of Tauriel she is good character and I do not mind Legolas being there it is only natural for him to be in his Kingdom next to his father!But the Love Triangle was pointless and not reasonable,and Legolas should have  had smaller role than rather being a star and taking so much screen time from a characters who deserved more! :)

I certainly didn't mean, Dáin, that everyone who didn't like Tauriel was necessarily a petulant purist or a boring cinematography fan (also because the cinematography fans had indeed valid reasons to be concerned, about the deep plot's construction of the Hobbit trilogy), but the fiercest and heaviest 'attacks' came mainly from these two categories, with obvious and understandable considerations  :)

LordDainIronfoot:
I know you didn't mean that I am purist my friend! :) I just stated out that I am not one and am more openmided over all but still Icare a lot ofr the lore :)

Actually, apart from the infamous Love Triangle, Tauriel is indeed, I think, a very lore accurate character  :)
But, as in many other passages of the LOTR and the Hobbit trilogy, the references to the lore are very deep and kind of 'cryptic'.

Tauriel is an Elf of Mirkwood, she serves loyally her Realm and, as an immortal being, she has lived in Middle Earth for more than a century.
She is not satisfied, though, with her life, she doesn't always share and support Thranduil's orders and dispositions, and she is really amazed by all the Magic of the free but dangerous Middle Earth, deeply wishing to leave sometimes the closed borders of her Realm.

These traits of her character are fundamental  :)
The Wood Elves of Mirkwood are, as Tolkien says, less wise and more dangerous, definitely the most rustic and less-developed Elven People in Middle Earth, still conserving their 'ethereal' aura of Elves.
The Kingdom of Mirkwood, by the time of the Hobbit, had already started a policy of almost complete Isolation from the rest of Middle Earth for more than a Millennium, closing the ties even to Lothlórien.
That's why, after more than 1000 years, the Wood Elves of Mirkwood barely knew anything about the other realms of the World, and most importantly of Lothlórien itself; the magical Golden Wood had already become for them a mysterious and mystical place, and the source of that incredible Magic, Galadriel, an element of their legends  8-)
Legolas, in the books, refers clearly to these facts, when he enters, full of Wonder, the borders of Lothlórien with the Fellowship  :)

That's why Tauriel is constantly attracted and loves all the incredible elements and parts of the wide and mysterious World in which she lives, hoping to break from the isolation of her Realm, imposed by Thranduil.

Ok, I recognise they may be too deep and cryptic references to detect, but that's how, I think, everything is connected  ;)

Tauriel is indeed a beautiful character.
Every form of criticism is obviously and always legitimate (and her role has many flaws), but, maybe, instead of immediately bashing her always and everywhere, someone might try to reflect a bit more intensively about the connection between her and Middle Earth (even if she is a completely fictional character of the Hobbit trilogy)  :)

I've just found completely new and official concept art from Dol Guldur. ;)

--- Zitat ---The Lady Galadriel enters the ruins of Dol Guldur heeding the silent cry for help from Mithrandir. A strong and powerful force of light and beauty, her mere presence challenges even the darkest and most torturous of places.
The moment when Galadriel's eye falls on the caged grey wizard in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has been delicately interpreted by Weta Workshop concept designer Rebekah Tisch.
