Karl Urban's stand-in

The caption for the image of the five men on horseback identifies the actor on the left as Karl Urban. According to the director's audio commentary, the character intended to be Éomer in that scene is portrayed by Karl Urban's stand-in, and thus is an unknown Rohan rider. The plan was to replace the hand of the stand-in with Urban's, but that never happened. Spleezleton (talk) 21:35, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plot length

MOS:PLOT says that the plot summary should be "between 400 and 700 words". This article's summary is currently 639 words, at the upper end of the scale: it certainly should not be subject to creeping extensions. Apart from that, the addition of descriptive adjectives and colourful phrases is unwise, as these tend to suggest editorial opinion: Tolkien does not say Frodo was "disheartened", that's an editor's interpretation. The plot summary is required to be plain and brief, which is what it is currently. It should stay like that. Whatever we decide collectively, it will be better than continual edit-warring, which is forbidden on Wikipedia. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
