Tauriel could have just been a Wood-Elf tracker/guard who gets involved with the main plot because she's following the prisoners and then realizes that there's more going on there than she realized. That would have been fine. Introducing a female character for the sake of a love triangle was unnecessary.

I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you on the Galadriel and Saruman stuff though. I realize that it's semi-canonical backstory, but to me, it disrupted the main storyline in a way that felt more like padding than world-building. I would have preferred that they let the Hobbit stay a straight-forward adventure story on the surface with the foreshadowing in the background, instead of interrupting it for Council politics and some weird-ass romantic tension between Galadriel and Gandalf.

NAYRT 100% agreed on Tauriel. As a character she could have been great, but the love triangle was bullshit and pointless (especially in hindsight looking at Legolas's relationship with Gimli--if he'd watched even a close friend, much less a lover, go through that, he'd look at dwarves differently, don't you think?)

And god the Galadriel/Gandalf thing was weeeird.

Especially as Evangeline Lilly made them promise she wasn't going to be in a dumb love triangle, so they hid that part of the script from her until she was in contract.
