If it was possible to cut someone out of the movie, who would it be?

There already are a lot of people that have been cut out, I miss Old man Willow. You don't know how much I was looking forward to that scene where Pippin and Merry get stuck in the tree, that was funny
If I had to pick someone else to get cut, it'd be either Arwen *mumbles apologies to her fans* or...well, no one. All the other people who could have been cut were.

So, if there is no Arwen, why doesn't Aragorn marry Eowyn?
I'll cut that dispeptic elf, what-his-name the one who bites it at Helm's Deep that everyone is ticked about... Doesn't even LOOK like an elf. sheees!

You better hope LOTR316 doesn't read this. She LOVES Haldir

Tom Bombodil... oh, wait... he was already cut.
Second thought, whoever decided that Orc were to be birthed from mud... that confused the hell out of me when I saw it. {Scene: me at the movies, watching the birthing of Orcs; "huh? What's this all about? Whatthef**k!!!! That's not right! That's just not right!" Everyone else in the theatre: "shshshshshshsshshshshshshsshshshshsh!!!!!!!!! } |

I think the question should be the other way around what characters should have been in the film that were cut. Too many were cut in the first place and I really can't think of any characters that should have been cut.

They should have cut the Elves from Helm's Deep

No, Arwen shouldn't be cut. Although her role is minimal (in both the book and the film) it's essential to understanding Aragorn as a character. The film is a bit more overt about this than the book, but it's something common to both.
Who, then? Well, there were a number of characters who are hardly there as it is, and if I were an editor constrained by time, I wouldn't have a hard time cutting them - Celeborn, for instance, or Hama. But in all honesty, I like the scope of the cast the way it is. Maybe Rosie Cotton, but her role was expanded ever so slightly in FOTR:EE, and I'm sure her presence in FOTR means she'll return in ROTK in some capacity.

But I think Celeborn. He doesn't ever do anything in LotR besides greet the fellowship in Lorien and then later he just leaves. His role is literally to say 'Hi' and Bye.'
