what where the elves doing at helms deep??

consarnit how many times do i have to repeat it?
pj sed havin rangers come in would b confusin to ordinary audience, and having humans-only in war of ring battles would not b good enough for movies, so yeah, the elves were a replacement for the rangers.

i was wondering abt the elves, BUT I WANTED 2 NO MORE Y THEY MADE IT LUK LIKE ARAGORN DIED cos that wasnt in the buks n i was really shocked, but i think it was so that all the ppl hu knew wat was basically gonna happen ddnt get bored, BUT ID NEVA GET BORED IN LOTR 🙂 n e wayz

the elves were there coz otherwise the Rohirrim would have most definitely looked like they were going to die, and if they survived it would be a miracle, and it wouldn't look as good

the elves were just there because they are without a doubt the crowed favorite

that's the only reason

the elves were the allies, the last bit with the men of gondor was the final piece of help, gandalf brought them back to bring piece towards edoras and gondor, geesh ppl doesn't any1 take notice of whats goin on (no offence) lol

yea but this question was namely to se why the elves were their in the movie and not in the book

yea...

btw go Rex comparing LOTR tactics with AoE you're good mate but indeed archers made a difference

and when Haldir died, there wasn't enough blood

sheeshsarnit!!!

😄

You know what i dont get (stupid question) but Haldir was first seen (in fotr) in lothlorien with Galadriel but Elrond sent the elves to helms deep so was Haldir in rivendell or did Galadriel send some elves with him too or what the hell is going on??? 😑 😕

the elves r from lorien cus rivendell elves r leavin and not so powerful, and anyway in the books the humans of middle earth dont know of galadriel, but only of a magical dangerous forest, but they do know of elrond.
if there were elves from rivendell, i dunno, but maybe.

They are probably from both Rivendell and Lothlorien. Galadriel said "Do WE leave Middle-earth to its fate?..."

I think they are only from Lorien, because Rivendell is too far away.

Ya but Haldir said " I brings word form Elrond from rivendall"so that means elrond sent the elves but Haldir is from Lothlorien

i think it is a coalition but mainly comprised of elves from lorien

probably seeing as they are related

haha yea that would make sense.. 😑

maybe elrond just wanted to make it look like it was all his idea hahaha

yea...conceited little jerk!!! ahah jk
