More movie moans...
Aug. 30th, 2011 11:52 amI keep reading Lord of the Rings fanfics and hitting utter idiocies of plot and drastic out-of-character actions from characters; I have my fingers poised on the keyboard, beginning to write scathing reviews, and then...
...I realise that the offending sections are taken directly from the movie. The fic-writer is guilty only of using the movie-verse rather than the book-verse.
Why, oh why, did Peter Jackson have to change things so much, and always* for the worse?
(*With the exception of giving Glorfindel's role in The Fellowship of the Rings to Arwen; I thought that was an improvement over the original).
