umm arwen also motivated aragorn in the movies, "your are isildurs heir, not idildur himself, you are not bound to his fate". and that part in TTT when eowyn asks aragorn "who is the women who gave you that jewel?".
anyways, i am NOT one of those ppl who "hate" arwen and liv tyler (though she was a strange choice to play arwen, but she was brilliant). she had alot of emotion, shes, omg, the most beautfiful elf and female in the whole story (perfect skin!), and she DID give up her immortality for aragorn, i mean, cmon, live forever, or die just to be with your true love? that is a bIG sacrifice, and there is alot of self-sacrifice in LOTR's (obviously a very christian example from tolkien), and i have to say arwen beats eowyn with that, and looks wise too, though eowyn is VERY beautiful as well, just not in the same way as arwen, i mean, there both gorgeus but in different ways.
in a fight however, eowyn kicks arwens butt bigtime. i mean, she killed a fell beast AND the witchking, not to mention the mumakil and orcs and stuff, WOW! 😱 😎
to be honest, I am a bit indimidated by Eowyn, she knows how to kick some guys ass (just like my girlfriend).
Arwen is too much of a priss and a nance, "daddy daddy daddy ect", she is such a glory hunter - "no I wont live in oeace with my kindred, I want to marry the bleeding King, is that TOO MUCH TO ASK!!"
I voted for Arwen because I like the way she was portrayed by Liv Tyler. I really haven't read the books so, I choose the character that I liked the most. Plus, I really didn't like Eowyn that much. I mean would she have given up her people and her way of life for a love. I think not, that's why I choose Arwen.
LIV TYLER IS AWESOME!!! 😎
