Reply To: LotR revisited – what Peter Jackson got right and what he didn't

[Wolfie65 1253xp 0]

If we assume that Elf females find the same things attractive as Human females, that would be height (!), looks (!), youth, money and social status. And yes, I base these observations on TONS of experience over MANY years. I suppose that the Dwarf in question might qualify as ‘young’ – especially to an Elf, who is functionally immortal and probably at least several hundreds of years old when Peter Jackson hired her, but in all other respects, he fails miserably. No chance.

The only possible way for this perticular romance to ever occur would be if the Elf girl has some very serious issues and extremely low esteem, which seems highly unlikely, in fact, the opposite is probably the case: as an attractive female -of any species – her self-esteem is likely to be sky-high. So high, in fact, that even the son of the King (see ‘social status’, above) isn’t good enough for her. You can find tons of this exact type (human variety, no Elves) in every bar, night club, other social venues and, of course, online.

And guess what: they don’t like Dwarves.

But just to make you happy, I did find one good thing about PJ’s films: the bunny sled. That is cool and would make a great miniature, even if Tolkien spins in his grave…..
