User blog comment:Halfelvenprincess19/So what do you think of Tauriel from The hobbit?/@comment-188.60.204.206-20131214210430

Im ok with adding a female who doesn't distract from the story line too much. However what they have done is pandering. Tauriel is an impossible character. Sorry but she is.

Strong female characters like Galadriel should be role models for girls surely?, not soldiers. Are we trying to condition young female audiences into thinking they can be physically more adept than any man?. Thats not only fictitious but dangerous.

Its ok for a Xena warrior princess movie where we know the movie revolves around a female superhero but Tolkiens world is supposed to be real enough to have been an alternate version of our history. So it just doesn't fit and is forehead slappingly sad.

PJ shame on you
