.... so it's canon, is what you're saying

just

SO MANY THINGS

SO MANY THINGS MAKE SENSE

bASICALLY, YES.

and it makes her more of a special sparkle sue which, honestly, fits with most everything else about her

FITS LIKE A GLOVE, THAT DOES

Weta guys who worked on the FX and props and all that good shit. They were just vigourously nodding and really 'yes we already agree on this' when i brought it up.

only because i was like: MAYBE ONE DAY we'll see the simarillion made. not necessarily by PJ, but definitely Weta

and they were like: WELL U KNOW. IT WAS ALREADY KINDA IN THE FILM- and i was like: U MEAN TAURIEL RIGHT and they were like: YEAH GIRL

yeeeeeeeeah

yeah i

really doubt pj will ever get his hands on silm

and would be surprised if the film rights were sold anytime at all soon

and yeah no pj very much just like apparently didn't want to film the hobbit so he filmed the hobbirilion

IT'S ACTUALLY ALMOST A PITY

despite the way he butchered the hobbit, imo

because honestly pj's way of making everything as overly dramatic as is actually physically possible would actually probably enhance silm

it's got Those Kinds of stories

ones it'd be hard to make more dramatic than they actually are and the more dramatic they got made the closer they'd be

yeaaaaaah

like can you imagine the oath and the first kinslaying being in any way anything but enhanced

by just cranking the drama up to 27

s-SOB

like seriously man

finwe's death and the theft of the silmarils and the murder of the trees

like could you make that more dramatic, like honestly

honestly i could see him doing it

possibly

but it'd probably work so well with the story that it'd be the right choice

like seriously man, for over dramatic elves, hit up silm

oh i just mean i could see him making it more dramatic

but not necessarily in a good way

yeah no but that's the thing like

how would it be in a bad way

i dunno man maybe i'm wrong

i doubt i'll find out either way though

I HAD SUCH TRUST IN HIM AFTER LOTR

THAT TRUST WAS BETRAYED

really though it would do a great deal to explain the way that she is both good at and yet still ruins everything

y e p

Red hair? Check? Disaster gene? Double Check.

meh I'd buy the theory more if one, all the rest of Mirkwood wasn't similarly colored and two, if Tolkien had said that only Feanorians had red hair. I know it was a Big Thing but I don't think s'exclusive

The red was unusual for the Noldor, but it never got mentioned among the other branches.

Kinslaying inclinations? Check

Explains why Thranduil does not want her with Legolas?

Explains why she's banished instead of jailed or court-martialed or stripped of rank?

I mean obviously Nerdanel's family doesn't have a monopoly on red hair, but it makes sense in other ways
