Likewise, both trilogies reduced the roles of various characters in the legendarium.
Liv Tyler was given a greatly boosted role as Arwen inThe Lord of the Ringsmovies for many reasons.
Arwen is recognizable as a beautiful, feminine, powerful Elf.
Butin the books, she was less powerfuland carried out fewer heroics.
Jackson swapped Glorfindel for Arwen, butSagan om Ringen, the SwedishLord of the Rings, did adapt Glorfindel.
She was given more lines in the trilogy, in general.
Jackson tried to achieve something similar inThe Hobbitfilms by adding the divisive original character Tauriel.
The Lord of the Ringsmovies read the room and emerged with nearly perfect dramatic characterization and pacing.
Cutting key characters like Glorfindel and Tom Bombadil was frustrating and missed out on some interesting opportunities.
Reducing certain characters and storylines helped keep the trilogy focused on the remaining characters, including Arwen.
