The whole reason I like posting here is that people are generally openminded here. Rarely do topics turn into chest thumping insult matches and when they do somebody comes around and puts their foot down. For some reason Tolkien is a really touchy topic. I did point out that both sides were getting a little to pushy and touchy. I'm not a book purist, I don't care if he mixes it up for the movies, and I only had one problem with book to movie changes, and it is a questionable one. I would love to discuss the movies, I just don't want to get alot of silly flack, it looked like a gang fight when I read through the thread, and if I had read the thread before I went to see the movie I'd of been on the other side of the arguement, I loved the first movie and I loved Peter Jackson's vision of Middle Earth, the second movie just didn't seem finished to me. I'm not trying to pick a side just pointing out that it was getting a little thick in here.As far as the Elrond bit goes, it was something pointed out to me by people who have not read the books, they thought Elrond was telling Galadriel to send troops to help at Helms Deep, the troops that showed up said that Elrond sent them, thus Elrond must be the Leader of all the Elves.</blockquote>
