Boromir was not a main character. He was a supporting character. There is a major difference. I would even argue most of the Fellowship were supporting characters. Your main ones were Frodo, Aragorn, Sam, and Gandalf. Everyone else was a varying degree of supporting character (and varying in degrees of popularity). I don't think no characters will die, once again. My point is you don't have to kill MAIN characters as the sole means of creating stakes. Again, Boromir is the equal of killing Drax, and not the same as killing say Iron Man.
Fun fact: Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Legolis, Gimili, Gandalf, Arwen, etc. NONE of them die! Let that sink in.
you're the one that said
Boromir was merely a fellowship character same as Legolis and Gimili. All 3 had the same role in the first movie. 2 became main characters only because they survived. You are minimizing Boromir ONLY because he died and ONLY because it supports your theory. but if there was never a 2nd or 3rd movie Boromir was as major a death as many others who survived would have been. its not introducing QS only to kill him in a movie full of well established characters
I'm not minimizing him. Legolis and Gimilie would be like of similar tier to Boromir. But, he still is not a MAIN character like the other Avengers I named. We never met him until basically the Fellowship was formed, which was halfway into the movie. He doesn't have a main role. Yes, I can say the same about Legolis and Gimili, which I just did. But, he is still as important to LOTR as Drax would be to this (maybe Vision...but they're of similar tier). I really don't see how this is hard to understand or how this contradicts prior statements.

I know, but you contradicted yourself when you included their survival as evidence you don't need main character's deaths to create an epic film. also we didn't know gandalf survived until the 2nd film so again using the theory that if there was never a second film...that's another main death in your list
Dude relax. I didn't spoil anything. I was vague enough and didn't mention any sort of details. I have been doing that and discussing spoilers in the right thread.No offense - but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE DON'T SPOIL THINGS IN THE OPEN LIKE THAT A WEEK BEFORE THE DAMN FILM </END RANT>
I understand it's a released promotional clip, but some of us are choosing to avoid them. Talking about them in the open is basically the same as me watching it myself. There is a spoiler thread for you guys to discuss them openly if you wish. This is just a really sensitive subject with me.
Gandalf lived so no it doesn't. If they kill Cap in IW and he comes back in A4, guess what...doesn't count either. Or do you want to look at the 100s of posts in which I used the word PERMA-DEATH. Gandalf was in LOTR 2 and 3 right? So guess what, not a PERMA-DEATH. My point is about PERMA-DEATHS.
I see you finally realized Gimili and Leglolas ONLY became unimportant to your argument once I brought up Boromir and thus you've abandoned that![]()
Concerning the score, people who watched movies made before 2005 know that the score being quiet background thumping noise is a relatively recent phenomenon. I am glad Marvel is doing it the classic/best way.
I've abandoned nothing because Boromir doesn't change my point. Do you equate Boromir as equal to Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Starlord, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, etc.? I don't. Therefore my point stands tall and firm. LOTR didn't kill any MAIN characters. They killed a few SUPPORTING ones (but even there...very few that were not villains). So, IW & A4 can build stakes without killing off a bunch of MAIN characters.
This is movies not comics- I assure all, the GA assumes that Black Widow is not a garden-variety human. Has it ever been stated that she is not enhanced, I can't recall? Because from the time she grabbed that Chitauri and held on, it is clear she ain't normal.
Are we having another power level debate?
