I'm okay with new elf chick and kili

[Shorty]

I bet you hate grey's anatomy too

I have never seen Grey's Anatomy! But probably!

[blackmage_nuke]

But. She's betraying fabulous elf king and elf king son by helping the dwarfs.

Imagine this wasnt a fantasy setting. You have a good girl who falls in love with the bad boy from out of town who gets thrown in jail. She uses her position as the mayor's daughter to break him out because no one can understand their love.

Take the tolkien out of it and all your left with is a lame b movie teen romance/drama.

[Freya]

But... I'd watch that too.

[Madame Adequate]

She's played by Evangline Lilly so she's absolutely insanely hot so it's okay with me.

Shame on you for siding with the Elves. What's next, having a moan at me for cutting down trees or trying to offer you a +Honey Badger Leather Sandal+?

[Madame Adequate]

I never said I sided with the elves. Just that a handful can be kept around in =Glass Cages= for our own purposes.

mmmm haldiiiiir

Evangeline Lilly is overrated. Kili is not a dwarf. Their love makes no sense, on screen or off. Peter Jackson should be ashamed of himself.

[Madame Adequate]

Evangeline Lilly is attractive, and that's the only purpose females have.

No. And here's why no.

The existence of thus relationship essentially nullifies our knowledge the racial tensions between elves and dwarves present on Middle Earth. This tension is a central plot line in LotR in developing the relationship between Gimli and Legolas and later Gimli and Galadriel. I would argue, in fact, that this forced lovestory in what is essentially the prequel to LotR significantly reduces the importance of several major events between the races in the trilogy.

Is it nice to show another interracial lovestory? Yes. Does this forced and awkward lovestory trample over the subtlety and nuances of race relations in the original story? Absolutely it does.

Plus Kili doesnt.even have a beard, so she really doesn't love a dwarf. Just a short man.

[Freya]

He has a little bit of a beard. Some lovely stubble

[theundeadhero]

My old manager at Pizza Hut had some stubble. Was she a dwarf too?

[Pike]

Man it's like you people hate eye candy.

This is now an Aidan Turner thread.

Exactly this. Heck, it changes the meaning of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's relationship. The entire reason the Three Walkers was a thing was because it had never happened before. The races did not have that much interaction with each other.

I like pike.
