Yes Eowyn proves to be quite a kickass girl herself but this does not show until the third book. The first book is almost compleately lacking in female characters, and all are just minor love interests. The most notable one was even cut since she is with Tom Bombadill. (I miss Tom but I agree with Jackson's decision, unless you want a 5 hour movie some things need to go). Arwin doesn't even show up in the main text of the Fellowship, she is relegated to the apendix. Pulling Arwin from the apendix to the main story doesn't bother me since its not as if Jackson was just making it up, and I think it does add somewhat to the story. Back to Eowyn though. While she turns out to be a great fighter, even in book two she is nothing more than a female love interest. She never fights, is sent packing with the women and children durring the battle of Helms Deep,  and spends most of her time mooning over Aragorn. It will be interesting to see what Jackson does with her and with Arwin in the TT. I agree that we shouldn't make LotR PC but so far I think Jackson has not crossed the line. We will see if I am wrong when TT is released.</blockquote>
