You'll need to find that out for yourself.

> this movie is 9 hours long, we need some pointless filler

>>68056364
But he was in there since before Jackson was told to make it a trilogy

>>68056277
>what are novels

girls dont watch virgin neckbeard shit, so they threw in prettyboy Legolas to sell tickets to the female population

Too tall.

Was there a main character from LOTR that they didn't bring in or introduce?

Just Sam right?

>Frodo
>Gimli
>Aragorn
>Legolas
>Gandalf
>Gollum
etc

>>68056515
Yeah, I don't think he's born yet during the movies (nor is Frodo, but muh-flashback-prequel)

Arwen isn't referenced in any way, but she is a secondary character (even more so in the books).
No rohirrim appear either, nor anyone from Gondor.

>>68056515
gimli and aragorn arent even in the movies, just referenced in one scene

>>68056407
He wasn't in the novel.

>>68056645
Well, that's what he meant, they made sure they were making enough reference to LOTR events/people to create a complicity with some viewers.

>>68056612
Frodo and Sam definitely were not born if I recall.

Bilbo was 50 in the Hobbit. In fellowship, he's 100-something and Frodo isn't 50 yet. Sam is younger than Frodo I think.

>>68056277
because his mother loved him

>>68056612
Well, none of them are main characters... MAYBE Theoden?

Ok, Sam and Theoden. Boromir is another but he did die, so maybe they assume he didn't have enough of a fanbase.

and my axe!
