Many who love The Lord of the Rings trilogy hang their romance shipping caps on the more heavily-stated romances between Aragorn and Arwen or Sam and Rosie. However, there were two more subtle romantic stories in The Lord of the Rings extended editions, which were highly underrated and greatly impacted the character development of those involved. Namely, Gimli being enamored of Galadriel’s beauty and grace, and Faramir and Eowyn find one another while they both recover from the Battle of Pelennor Fields. These relationships both developed the characters involved and, in ways were just as profound or romantic as The Lord of the Rings trilogy’s more prominent relationships.When it comes to these two underrated relationships, it’s important to note that they both existed in the books and the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings films. Gimli wasn’t just intended as comic relief in battle, and his meeting with Galadriel was an important cornerstone in The Fellowship of the Ring, which begins to weaken his Dwarven prejudices against Elves. In the case of Faramir and Eowyn, their very subtle meeting in The Return of the King is much more fleshed-out in the book, yet through their own on-screen development, really show how perfect they are for one another. So how did these two romantic pairings stand up against the forbidden and forlorn love of Arwen and Aragorn? What makes them as wholesome and hopeful as Sam and Rosie? It definitely comes down to context and timing.Even though this competitive spirit with Legolas is done with fiery and aggressive enthusiasm, it’s clear that from the moment he laid eyes on Galadriel, his hardened heart for these ethereal and immortal Elves began to soften. This respect for them cascaded down into The Two Towers when the Elves came to Helm’s Deep to reinforce Theoden’s defending force. If there’s one thing Gimli respected, it’s a fierce warrior on the battlefield who could keep up with him and fight overwhelming odds beside him. When the final battle takes place in The Return of the King, Gimli finally admits that his relationship with Legolas is a stalwart and deep friendship. Although the fires of war forge much of Gimli and Legolas’ strong bond, it would likely have taken longer to grow if Galadriel hadn’t softened his stubborn hatred for Elves with her beauty and grace and that three-hair memento. Along with Gimli’s change of heart just in time to create important friends-at-arms bonds with Legolas, another warmer and well-timed union took place in the books and extended edition of The Return of the King.
