Secret 7 - The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings

[personal profile] transcriptanon 2013-08-28 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Pictures are screen-captures of Tauriel, Arwen and Eowyn from the movie adaptations of the "Lord of the Rings" books. Tauriel is an elf with light skin and very long orange-red hair, wearing a gray and green dress, peering over her shoulder at the viewer. Arwen is an elf with light skin and long dark hair, who is fighting in one scene and lying unconscious in the next? And Eowyn is a human with light skin and long blond hair who is looking frightened in the last picture. Before her is someone wearing an armor next to a horse, but I'm not sure if that's her.]

Whenever people say "don't worry about Tauriel, Peter Jackson did a great job with the Lord of the Rings women," I'm reminded he took Arwen from badass to damsel-in-distress, needing Aragorn to save her. (That plot didn't make any sense but whatever.) and took Eowyn, from the Slayer of the Witchking (also known as Sauron's second-in-command) to immediately needing Aragorn and Gimli to save her from an orc (extended edition only - the theatrical release ignored her until her cameo at the coronation) and that doesn't even touch on how Arwen's arc revolves around Aragorn and her love for him ... and hwo the same is true, to a lesser extent, for Eowyn.

So, in short, Peter Jackson's track record with Lord of the Rings women isn't that great. At least Tauriel's romance with ??? doesn't seem to be a big part of her character.
