I'll not be happy if raddy is knifed [In reply to] Can't Post

The only excuse for that would be for a Boromir scene. However, I don't see how that would fit.

I think a death at the end of AUJ would be quite strange. It doesn't suit the character to die defending the party as they climb trees. And why would he sacrifice his life for dwarves when he could sacrifice it for any number of different causes that are closer to his heart. No, that doesn't make sense.

The end of TDoS is going to be a dragon slain or a dragon rampaging in a town to which Raddy has no connection. The party is in the mountain anyway. I don't think it makes sense for Raddy to die there, either.

At the end of TaBA, Thorin is already serving the role, along with the pretty dwarves. Three is already a crowd; heaping Raddy's corpse onto the bonfire does not add anything and could detract from the poignancy.

If Raddy bites it in a non-climax, that is bad, too.
