[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9478172, member: 56488"] For the movie, I agree - I think book is more nuanced and explains why he didn't go with fellowship (would essentially be a big glowing sign, especially as got nearer to Gondor / Mordor, for Saruman and Sauron) - but potentially was used as one of the false trails given instead to suggest ring was going elsewhere. Then Glorfindel was likely present for some of the battles that occurred elsewhere during the war of the ring, whether the assaults on Lothlorien, Erebor or other. The movies however don't show sign of these other battles, so I think Glorfindel would have been a bit of a glaring omission there - arguably the elves already are, especially likes of Elrond / Galadriel after the Hobbit movies show them as good fighters. Looking online, it sounds like he wasn't around during most of the ring forging time at least, but was likely present at war of the last alliance. [/QUOTE]
