@Hon-Taku I think maybe you're confusing Arwen of Rivendell (elf) with Eowyn of Rohan. There is much "win" in both names.
And Eowyn was pretty faithfully portrayed. She was a shield-maiden. Women didn't go out on recon missions like the men did, because their job was to defend their homes. Speaking of which, I know the orcs are supposed to be bad and they should be able to overrun a village rather easily, but I expected the villagers to put up more fight. I have no idea how that would have moved their completion date back, how much it would cost, or if it would even make the final cut in an already-bloated run time for American theaters.
They might have cast a bigger woman or more obviously athletic woman. She might've been more believable trying to pass as a man that way, but as I recall, the riders immediately around her knew what was up and they respected her decision.
I personally would probably watch an "Adventures of Arwen," especially if Liv Tyler's still got it, which I think she does. I think she was centuries-old by the time she met Aragorn. Google says she was 2700 years old and Aragorn was 20 the first time they met. Imagine how skilled of a fighter she could be by that age! I think Rings of Power tried to build that into Galadriel, but they made her a Mary Sue. It's not she's the only "millennial" who ever picked up a sword.
