Are you me OP?

I didn't really dig this ship, I felt it was kind of forced and I found the entire "healing Kili" scene to be utterly cringe-worthy and groan inducing (I was the girl in the cinema going "oh come on!"). That aside I probably would have been ok with the ship if not for exactly what you're pointing out. To me it lessens the impact of Legolas and Gimli's relationship. Its one of my favourite things about the trilogy and for me Kili/Tauriel just kind of makes Legolas and Gimli's friendship not as profound and "groundbreaking" for lack of a better word. It gives the impression that dwarf/elf relationships (either platonic or otherwise) are more commonplace and therefore makes Gimli and Legolas deep, beautiful friendship seem less unusual and lovely.

It was my main gripe against this ship, I could have put up with the melodrama if not for this aspect. Well that and the fact that Tauriel just feels like she has been introduced to serve as 'the love interest'.
