re: Least-Favorite Peter Jackson changes to Lord of the Rings

No. 1 has to be No Scouring of the Shire. I get it, but as an avid reader, I was left wanting.

I will say the Paths of the Dead and the "use" of the dead at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Bringing them into that battle detracted from the triumph of the Rohirrim and forces of Gondor (i.e., it made it appear that they could not have won without them).
