This needs to come out on Blu-Ray already so I can finally see it...

NGL though, this hate for Tauriel has made me extremely curious about her character. (I want her to be awesome because of it.) I've heard mostly good things in this comm (outside a couple secrets) but I'm hoping she has some really good scenes and a satisfying ending for her character arc in the last movie.

And I didn't like Kate either, but I don't think that had anything to do with Evangeline.

[queerwolf]

I really liked her as Tauriel and liked all of her scenes with both Legolas and Kili. She was fierce. I don't get what all the hate is for.

[elaminator]

I would say some of it might be purists that can't stand a new character being added to the story, but if they have a problem with her then they must hate the whole thing in general (in which case, why single her out?) because these movies have their fair share of differences. Maybe some of it is people thinking she's a Mary Sue (That gets thrown around a lot in fandom, often incorrectly), finding her inclusion forced or not liking her because she comes between a ship.

At this point I just think she's incredibly hot and looks like she can take care of herself so I'm fully expecting to harbor a huge crush on her.

It's a bit silly because Tauriel really brings to life some of Tolkien's biggest themes. Love of starlight, choosing to save a life rather than take one, choosing to fight against the evil that threatens the whole world not just her home, even if it means abandoning her duties? So Tolkien I don't know what some people are thinking.

(I'm not saying he wouldn't have issues with her but imho, she's more Tolkien than a poop-covered, drugged-out Radagast.)

[(Anonymous)]

Hey! Some of us happen to love BOTH starlight-drunk Tauriel and poop-covered Radagast...

[elaminator]

IA, at least from what I've heard she sounds like she fits into the universe quite well. I can understand if people don't like the romance part of it, but I DO like interspecies relationships in fantasy and Tolkien already made a big deal of Legolas and Gimli, so even the elf/dwarf thing doesn't feel particularly new.

Haha, I've seen lots of mixed reactions to Radagast. I don't have much love for the film version either. I don't HATE him and I get where PJ was going with him (Hobbit was a children's book and all, PJ wanted more humor), but... I just don't really care for his scenes or the way they portray him.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

As someone who has a case of "comes between a ship" about her... I still don't hate her for it, I simply don't read Tauriel/Kíli, unless it's a friendship fic.

But then I am a very laid-back person and I mostly avoid arguments and ship-wars. Ship and let ship.

[elaminator]

Yea, Don't get me wrong, I don't automatically assume that's the only reason people could dislike her because I know better. I've been in fandom a long time and I've seen people get bent out of shape because of shippy reasons and I've also seen plenty of people who are very chill about it and don't care either way; they enjoy their ship, enjoy all the characters and let everyone else do the same. There's all kinds in fandom!

[inkdust]

I had a little trouble seeing her as Tauriel and not Kate-playing-Tauriel because I hadn't seen her in anything else, but I do like the character. She's pretty badass.

[elaminator]

We've all been there at some point! (It doesn't happen to me often, but yea, when it does its distracting as hell.)
