| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:55 | comment | added | user23715 | @PhilipKlöcking -- "This has nothing to do with him dying in general...", true but I never said it was Frodo dying in general though I wasn't clear to mean that it was dying from a Morgul-blade wound, which it was. -- You can be sure the One Ring didn't help Frodo any & Morgul-blades are empowered by the same force that powers the One Ring. -- Lastly I strongly disagree on Arwen's halo of light. Jackson is certainly free to make it mean anything he wants in his movie but he lifted the concept straight from Tolkien's text & therein Glorfindel was emanating the Light of Aman without doubt. | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 21:41 | comment | added | Philip Klöcking | @user23715 Arwen having a halo is due to her strong presence in the spirit world as well which she has got due to being an elf, something Frodo is able to perceive at that moment because the injury done by a morgul blade makes him drift "into the shadows", i.e. the spirit world, losing his bodily presence and becoming a wraith. This has nothing to do with him dying in general nor the one ring, but the particular way he is about to die. | |
| Jul 5, 2019 at 21:27 | comment | added | user23715 | @OrangeDog -- Elladan and Elrohir were both present at the Council of Elrond in Peter Jackson's FotR. Glorfindel appears in RotK to witness the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen. | |
| Jul 4, 2019 at 19:36 | comment | added | Anton Sherwood | At least Arwen is a descendant of (and is said to resemble) Lúthien, who faced Morgoth himself. | |
| Jul 4, 2019 at 10:12 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @StianYttervik in the movie neither Glorfindel nor the sons of Elrond exist. Arwen is probably the next most powerful in Rivendell after Elrond. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 22:20 | comment | added | user23715 | @StianYttervik -- too many characters for a movie, hence no Tom Bombadil and many others. Glorfindel was sent because he had lived in the West and could stand against the Nine. And while it's true that Arwen could not as written Jackson and Co. folded Glorfindel's power into Arwen - we see this from Frodo's perspective in the movie as Arwen comes on the scene in a halo of light and only he sees that because he's close to death and/or has the One Ring. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 12:38 | comment | added | Stian | Regarding the last paragraph, also a point of irritation in the movie version for those who enjoyed the books. Sending Arwen to rescue Frodo just makes no sense. Sending Glorfindel, though, that makes a lot of sense. | |

Added more explicit clarification, since you just said they "couldn't fly (on their own)", but then say that they fly. It just reads a bit odd to me...
