Lord of the Rings Theatrical Trailer

Hmm, can we say "flamebait"?
If you _read_ the Ring Trilogy (I have to actually wonder), you'd know that circumstances suggested any OVERT action relating to the ring would likely meet overwhelming opposition from Sauron and his forces. Frodo and the companions represented the ultimate in a covert operation, in many ways (though Gandalf just by being Gandalf draws attention).
It's a classic strategy (in fiction anyway) -- do what the enemy least expects, which often also involves doing something the Enemy thinks you'd be either stupid or suicidal to even try.
Elrond and Gandalf (and others) understood Sauron's psyche enough (scary thought) to realize that he'd never expect them to _destroy_ the Ring, but to use it against him in their own rise to power (as several parties suggested or pondered at various points).
Anyway, that's probably just going to touch off a flame war or a oft-repeated debate, so it'll be my last posted thoughts on the subject (hopefully).
You shouldn't verb words.
theatrical trailers are those played in theaters. not on TV. i presume 50 other people already pointed this out.
One is a woman who does nothing being played by liv tyler, the other is the hero of the Gondolin Pass.
But having tits gets you in the movie it would seem
