Re: Tauriel Debate

Well we don't exactly have large scale surveys to test this, (unless you can find early studio screenings with audience reactions, but anecdotally speaking, most of what I've heard about her was positive. I think the hardcore purist fans have many issues with the hobbit movies that extend beyond one new female character.

I've mostly heard the opposite - Tauriel has gotten a lot of flack for being a Mary Sue, being pointless to the plot, being tossed into a romance storyline and her making friends with dwarves watering down what was supposed to be significant about Legolas and Gimli's friendship. Then again, most of the people I've talked with, irl or online, are active fans of LOTR and not the average casual viewer so who knows.

It's exactly that. The casual fan will not know the difference, except that women do want to see other women in movies and amazingly enough, many of them do like romance.

And I'm still not quite convinced that Tauriel significantly impacted women's enjoyment of the film, even casuals, overall.
