One person has voiced the theory that the person who made the list wandered around the office for a few minutes asking for suggestions, then put up whatever they were told. Considering that one relationship begins with a man raping his employee, another, by their own description, has a single redeeming moment amid bastardry, and another seems to be based on the number of youtube videos devoted to the couple, I tend to agree with them.
That's just about the only reasonable explaination for some of those choices.
I've always thought that the reason they increased Arwen's role in the movies was so that we wouldn't go "wtf? Why are you mooning over the elf girl?" quite as much when Eowyn showed up. The movies needed to be clearer that Eowyn ended up happy.
I loved what they did with Arwen in the movie (but the way the told it, she had that role in the book, and nothing could be further from the choice.) And yes, I was SO sad that we didn't get more of Eowyn's story. She and her romance were so, so awesome, and one of my favorite parts of those books.
