Kili most certainly dies because he takes on Bolg just as he is about to deal a death blow to Tauriel. Kili had been fighting lesser orcs on a level above whilst Tauriel was getting badly beaten by Bolg. she had already alerted Kili to her presence, calling out his name twice and distracting him. He sees the dire straights she is in and launches himself at Bolg to save her!
oh, and please can someone tell me what it is that Kili mouths to Tauriel as he is dying in Bolg's grasp?? It sure looked like "I love you" (twice) to me...
I'm going to see it again today so I'll try to watch figure it out, the first time I was caught up in the moment. In the mean time I've seen some gifs of that moment on tumblr and I'm almost thinking maybe he's trying to say what he said to her at the lake, amralime. But I think it might be easier.
That said I don't see the problem if he died for her. I mean he's sacrificing himself for someone else, what kind of world is it if that's considered dishonorable or selfish?
And for all that people say they wanted it I have very little doubt that if Kili had run blindly headlong into Azog everyone would be talking about his stupid recklessness and finding some other way to criticize him for it.
Either way he was going to die because he was intent on getting to Azog, an opponent he also didn't have a chance in hell of defeating or even probably seriously wounding. Instead he faced Bolg and was able to help save Tauriel even if he died doing it.
But I agree with Digific, it wasn't done in such a way where he like jumped in front of a blade for her. He was fighting his damnedest, they were BOTH over matched and let's face it it's the Durins that Azog was really interested in and I'm quite sure Bolg knew that so naturally he's the one he'd kill first.
And if he was trying to say I love you or something a long those lines the point is, he couldn't so there were no declarations.
I both love and hate that death scene. It's very effective so it's a good death scene but at the same time it's so enraging. Bolg - his awful expression and the way he throws Kili's body down on the ground like he's trash to release his blade. It's ugly. And Tauriel had to see it.
