I just feel like she was added more because all blockbuster movies have to have a romance nowadays rather than as representation for women.

I'd be much more forgiving of her presence if she wasn't playing a love interest.

I read somewhere that the reason romance was included in movies where it was not the focus was to draw in a female audience. Is there any credence to that?

See I didn't read it as an out and out romance. I read it more as friendship on her part and awe on his. And Legolas mostly just not liking her hanging out with a dwarf.

Really? I just thought she was cool.

That's what I suspected, too. There's a strong push for blockbuster films to have "something for everyone", so they can nab the widest audience possible. So while I don't think romance is something that everyone necessarily wants (or even women specifically want), the people who make movies believe they're better off tossing in everything plus the kitchen sink.
