well, jackson should've known-if he was truly careful and cautious-that je should not have messed with something like arwen.
So what if crazy extremist women feminists(just th crazy ones ) persecute him for the rest of his life for not having a central woman character? maybe he would have kept truer by omitting arwen on the whole.

The thing is - both Galadriel and Eowyn are STRONG woman characters. He reduced Galadriel down - as I said - into the Ice Queen of hell.

Tolkien's books had a lot of historical accuracy to them and I'm sorry if the "womens lib group" wasn't active during the middle ages - but it wasn't. Yes - there were women like Galadriel and Eowyn - but the majority were like Arwen in the books. I agree that the love between Aragorn and Arwen needed to be shown - it didn't need to be made a whole new plot line like it is in the movies. I has taken over too much of the movie in my opinion.
