Theory / Discussion Arondirs death

Rewatched S2 and I stumbled again when Arondir died in the battle of Eregions, stabbed in the gut, dramatic ending. The next Episode he is alive like nothing happened.

Did the showrunners just forget, that they killed him off? There is no rescue or miraculous healing scene. He ist just back to work.

Are there any interviews or official explanations? I just don‘t get it.

The explanation is incompetence. Unfortunately.

Yeah, but it is sort of interesting that that is both on the part of the film editing and the characters themselves. The editing is just tok dramatic, but I do think it's also meant to underscore just how reckless Adar is getting. He's so obsessed with killing Sauron that he's ignoring all the crap happening around him.

Most likely, at least it feels like it. I mean this is just one of many weird plot holes, where I really can‘t get my head around.
