Two Towers - Arwen leaves Middle-Earth - wtf?

[Bob Aberton]

I just saw the Two Towers a little while ago, and I thought it was an excellent movie. However, one thing has me worried; in the movie, Arwen appears to be leaving Middle-Earth along with a whole bunch of other lantern-bearing elves.

I mean, I like the changes PJ made to the series so far, IMO, they've all turned out pretty well, but Arwen leaving Middle Earth? Surely he would not change the series that much...

What are your theories/opinions? Do you think Arwen is off to Valinor in the movies? Do you think PJ would be that mad?

Do you think Arwen is off to Valinor in the movies?

No, I don't. And if you look at the expression on Elrond's face ... he thinks something suspicious is up too.

Actually, I didn't catch that suspicious look...ah, well, thanks for allaying my fears...

So what will happen? She re-forge Narsil and brings it to Aragorn at some crucial point and then they live together happily forever after ?
Not bad at all

I think she going to Aragorn and brining him Narsil as well when RotK comes out. Thats my guess.

I think she will kill Faramir's intended bride and marry him. This way PJ can make the few viewers truely angry about Faramir and really get their blood boiling.

 

[JacktheRabbit]

I think you are all wrong. I think the arrival of the Elven troops at Helms Deep was a rather obvious statement that the Elves have decided to at least postpone their retreat from Middle Earth long enough to lend aid to man's fight against Sauron.

That is the only thing that makes sense. Otherwise you are telling me that Elrond ordered Galadriel to send part of her army to fight while he still retreated with his own elven kin. That does not appear very likely to me.

There's footage regarding that subplot that's missing from the theatrical release. Go back to the trailers and watch for footage featuring the Arwen subplot. Most of that stuff isn't in the TT movie as it is; it'll probably be restored to the film with the Extended TTT DVD come next year.

I have to agree with EN here. The first time I saw the movie I thought the look that Arwen gave Elrond was unusual.
After seeing it the second time, I believe that Arwen was saying 'goodbye' to Elrond when she left. I also got the feeling that Elrond knew she wasn't going to leave middle earth.

Okay, this brought up something that wasn't even in the extended version of the movie.

In the books, Narsil is reforged for Aragorn before he leaves Rivendell. While it wasn't mentioned specifically, I believe that we see Aragorn drawing a blade that looks a *lot* like Narsil in The Two Towers. So my assumption is that it happens off camera and he already has it.
