Re: Characters or ships you love that you dislike common fan interpretations of them?

Eowyn as a gungho warrior woman. Yes, she wanted to fight but because warriors were honored in her society. She wanted to matter, and that was how she knew how to do it. Also, she was clearly suicidal and wanted to die gloriously; it wasn't about being an awesome warrior or super skilled.

But I also don't agree with her being afraid when she went up against the Witch King. That was her moment of triumph where she either won glory killing him or died in battle the way she wanted. There was no losing there, and I think she was happy about it.

To comment on her a bit further, I don't think her settling down and laying aside her weapons after the war is a bad turn for her. The war is over, it's time to find peaceful pursuits, rebuild the land, learn what it is to be a wife to a man she loves. There's a line in the movie that I presume came from the books, about fearing a cage - I don't think getting married and settling down with Faramir is the cage she feared.

I don't think she loved Faramir though. It seemed to me she settled for him because she couldn't have Aragorn.

The movies are indeterminable but from what I recall of the books, she really did come to love Faramir. I guess the point is, I'd rather think she ended up happy.
