I would just venture the point that Legolas isn't just 'an elf', he is a Prince of Mirkwood, so in effect a 'hero' type of figure in the world of Middle Earth. As such, it seems perfectly reasonable... |

I could only vote for number 1 in the poll, as it is the only one that is indisputable. However, as others have pointed out, it's probably a mixture of 1, 2 and 4. As for the Eru=God idea, it's... |

Well, Essex, while I can see that the justifications you give for those things are 'reasons' they certainly aren't 'excuses' for some of the pointless, illogical changes that were made. Also they... |

The hippie movement was a 60's thing, not 70's, although it obviously carried on to a smaller extent in that decade. I think it was the release of LotR in paperback that coincided with the rise of... |

Characterisation. In LotR, PJ 'lessened' most of the characters from the book, making them less noble, less assertive, more selfish and more dishonest. However, in The Hobbit, almost all of the... |
