User blog comment:Halfelvenprincess19/So what do you think of Tauriel from The hobbit?/@comment-181.114.127.186-20150421165803

Well, everything she does was useless along with Legolas's actions. She was presented as somebody we need to agree and for that they changed other characters like Thranduil, that looked like a greedy isolated elf, but he was the one who helped people and fought the battle even when he wasn't willing to do because he knew many elves would die. But we have Tauriel and her silly love triangle doing everything a elf wouldn' do like pointing at her king just because she didn't cared for her fellow mates dead, but for her precious Kili, a dwarf she barely met.

I'm not against new characters, but at least they need more respect and the audience too, because we are not going to like a character that was told to be awsome but turns out to be a nuisance, because there were more important characters and deeds to show instead of seeing her crying.
