So The world of Middle Earth and the work of Tolkien is really important in my house. When this project was pitched to by the commissioner it was asked to have Tauriel, the elf from the Hobbit movie. I had to explain to them that “if you want her there I’ll , but my partner is gonna give me so much SHIT about!” My partner is a Tolkien scholar and they have MAJOR issues with that “character” so it was decided for my own sanity to cut her. What do you guys think? Should she have been left in? Would you like to see her later? Let me know!
