The suggestion remains that Thrain was taken to Dol Guldur.

Even in the books it says Gandalf searched for Thrain in Moria, but of course that is not where Thrain had been taken. But I suppose all speculation is moot and vain at this point, other than adjusting ourselves to undesirable changes. The film is less than a month away, and all will come out in the wash.
"Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!"
"Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

I am one of those "purists" though less extreme than many Lol. At least the Visual Companion does say Galadriel is the mightiest ELF

That can still be the case - it doesn't justify changing the ages. /

Yes, but Thrain doesn't just go missing one day from Moria...

But in the actual account, Thrain didn't just go missing one day. It is actually a very creepy tale

Yes, weird that Ori who seems to be the youngest has more of a beard than Kili...

Thrain entering so soon after the battle of Azanalbizar would seem to fly in the face

I think both scenes are very creepy and powerful in their own way, and I think both merit displaying.
