Elrond and Glamdring
|
Can't Post
|
|
Does anyone else find it curious that when giving the histories of Orcrist and Glamdring, Elrond does not mention that Glamdring belonged to his grandfather? It is undoubtedly true that Tolkien didn't have the connection in mind when he wrote TH, but it might have been fun if this tidbit had been included in the screenplay.
That gives rise to another question: since Glamdring is an heirloom of his house why is Elrond so uninterested in recovering it?

Yes, it's due to the copyright

An amendment. Elrond's relation to Turgon is not off limits to the filmakers, as it can be drawn from The Appendices.

There would also be, in Elrond the wise, a knowledge of Feanor, and of what being too attatched

Elrond knew this would be a powerful token of good will between Elves and Dwarves,

Agreed on both, though it seems that the Appendices would allow one to trace
