when we first see Haldir walking up at Helms Deep and Theoden says something like "what is this?" - Haldir is walking like he is "the elf" 😛
I am sure he must of died in Lorien, no way would Jackson make the mistake of doing it if he didn't in Lorien
Discos - yet another mis-matched mistake from the books

Mistake?
Jackson cannot know if Haldir died in Lórien because Tolkien writes nothing about it, in the books there is definitely nothing stating that he died,
But of course there is also nothing saying that he stayed alive,
So this is rather an interpretation, an added idea, not a mistake.
Though I don't like the idea...
anyways,
do you think maybe (in the film) Aragorn could have been held responsible for Hadlri's death. Haldir was on the wall and doing not to bad slayings and Aragorn shouted on him distracting him
Also, do ya think maybe (In ROTK) when Theoden says "hail the victorious dead" that Aragorn as a pause before drinking to remember Haldir?

yeah i also noticed that haldir got attaked soon afta aragorn shouted him which obviously distracted him ??? Is aragorn to blame for this heroes death ... hmmm
I would not think Aragorn distracted him when he shouted to retreat back to the keep, because aftwerwards he did kill one before being wounded which led to an attack from the rear. I would not blame Aragorn for Haldir's death, quite possibly a mere seconds of hesitation is all that it would take especially in pitch battle.
