Most people that go to see movies are not hardcore forum-going Tolkien fans. These movies wouldn't be a success if they didn't cater to a larger audience, including young girls and teenagers who are a large part of the market.

You think The Hobbit, after blockbuster hits of the LOTR trilogy, would not have been a financial success if they didn't have Tauriel? Really?

I think that movie makers have an obligation to appeal to their wider audience in an effort to make even MORE money, in fact as much money as they possibly can with their films. It is all about business. It doesn't matter if the movies would have made money, they want to make as much money as possible and that includes appealing to as many people as possible. It's basic marketing.

I don't disagree with you. However, I have noted that most forum-going Tolkien types were actually rather positive about her up until the love-story was brought in. Most of the negativity has really cropped up since the third movie spoilers came out and it's been confirmed that her story revolves around a guy. Those who liked her are disappointed by this.
