Broken box

The Tolkien character infobox was damaged, making this page inaccessible. I have temporarily removed it. Wachholder 05:44, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Reference

Part of the height reference can be obtained from Unfinished tails (see 'ranga' in the index p369-70?) Note tolkien only said he was "more than man high by nearly half a ranga" the rest is original research of a sort.(too accurate)

Changed the text.. and added a reference.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.88.218 (talk) 15:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone supply a reference for the other height? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.88.218 (talk) 14:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Adaptations

Do we need to mention the use of Narsil by Aragorn in the live-action films? In particular I'm challenging the phrase "Though Aragorn uses his [Elendil's] name as a battle cry, he is never identified with it while on-screen. However, in the third film, Aragorn mentions that Andúril (former Narsil) was "the sword of Elendil" when Elrond gives him the reforged blade." Adaptations are about the portrayal of the character, and because the Bakshi film doesn't show any depiction of Elendil himself it is reasonable to refer to the sword. But the live-action films have a live (and later a dead) Elendil in the prologue to The Fellowship which is mentioned in the article, and so I think that's sufficient.

The thing is, in the trilogy the name "Elendil" is never linked with "the King of the Humans". In the prologue of TFotR it is said "...when Isildur, son of the King...", but the character is never named. Although Aragorn uses the name as a battle cry, the viewers still don't know the name of the King, and the word "Elendil" cried by Aragorn tell them nothing about that, but a cool cry. So, I added that phrase because it's the only way the viewers have to put a name on that character. To say "the sword of Elendil" makes the viewers remember the owner of the sword, and solve the mystery. That's my point. I think that phrase is really harmless, but I'm not going to make a big deal for such thing. Regards, Kordas (sínome!) 09:24, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

You've got a point there, Kordas. But the "sword of Elendil" is already explained in the paragraph about the Bakshi film, that's why I think we don't need to mention it twice. De728631 (talk) 20:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

But I'm talking about another different film from Bakshi's. It's a logical nexus that I'm proposing, but as I said, it's no big deal for me if the phrase is going to be deleted. Kordas (sínome!) 23:55, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
