Tauriel Stamp

Description

As soon as I heard about this character, I was very skeptical because I thought she was going to be just a throw away love interest for Legolas, but I was surprised when I watched the "Desolation of Smaug" movie, which was amazing by the way :happybounce: I personally like the idea of Peter Jackson putting in a female character for the Hobbit movies, since the book had none. I love the way she is, and I love how she is a very skilled fighter (like Legolas.) Most of all, I love how she didn't really have a love connection with Legolas, because it wouldn't have made sense, but instead with Kili. Kili x Tauriel is my new OTP :heart: Why? Too long to explain :XD:

Anyway, I know people dislike this character because either she wasn't in the book, or they just find her pointless, but Arwen seemed more pointless and boring than Tauriel. Yes I know a lot of you are going to hate me for saying that, but just because Arwen was an actual character doesn't mean she is a great and memorable one. Arwen always bores me, and she does nothing in the last two Lord of the Rings movies except cry and think about Aragorn. No I do not hate Arwen, but I found Tauriel was a better and more interesting female elf. Just my opinion, please no hating.

Also, it seriously bothers me that people think just because Tauriel is involved in a love story means that suddenly she is a weak character. Just because she is in love with somebody it doesn't make her any less brave, bad-ass, or kind.

So yeah, I love this character, and I am looking forward to seeing her in the last movie :)

I thought I was going to love this character, she was okay. Not perfect. I have issues with her personality and she just didn't have the impact in the movies I thought she would. With a non-canon character addition, it's just not something welcome in the first place, but if you do add one you have to make that character fit in and have a purpose. A purpose other than providing a random female and a cheesy love fixation for two characters. Don't get my wrong, I really like the character, but I really favor her design and the idea behind the character rather than how it played out on screen. 
First off, I absolutely hated Kili and Tauriel. It could have had potential to be good, but they picked a situation that had been done previously in the series and they also executed the whole romance thing to be cute and without substance. I personally cannot stand relationships like that. It's focused too much on physical attraction and not enough on actual bonds and friendship. You can't seriously know and love a person you don't know. So yes, "without substance." It happens too much these days. You need more of a connection than a disturbing affinity for stars. No, just no. Before the movie came out I thought she was just going to be a love interest-side kick for Legolas too, which was somewhat true of the actual film. But blehh. Like I said, the executed a lot of these things to be way too stiff and generally annoying to me. I think the chick should be single and awesome XD Hey, that's what Legolas is! Why can't any female characters in these movies be single and awesome.
That being said, I think Tauriel being the center of this love-triangle damaged the impact of the character in a lot of ways. I just didn't buy her as being reputable and wise. She also healed Kili, which is something I don't think a elf of the guard is trained for.
Either things just really didn't add up, or they are waiting to explain some things the battle of the five armies because there are too many inconsistencies in the film. 

So yes. I saw this stamp and I just had to complain about Tauriel to someone. We nitpick what we love XD 
I don't know how this will turn out though... if you have read the hobbit you know what is going to happen with Kili in the next film so yeah ;;
