Dewgy posted:smaug definitely sucked though i am not gonna argue that Smaug owned in Hobbit 2, it's a drat shame that he got ganked in the first 4 minutes of the third movie tho, that sequence was piss poor. Noone trying to defend the town except for that dumb Bard guy.

End Of Worlds posted:why is the elf king's face all hosed up but hidden by magic I think a better question is why the gently caress did the guy who played the elf king play it so loving anime? It's like he literally decided that the best way to convey an elf king was to be as sephiroth as possible. He literally was sephiroth in the wrong movie. It was just....like...what?

Fuckload of missing sound effects here, but you can hopefully get the idea about how things were different.

Are people who like the dwarf romance actually dwarves themselves who think one day a tall elf will love them for who they are, despite them being dumpy little fat shits who look like they smell bad? Because life aint like the movies, son. If they were this Chunk woulda found his Sloth years ago.

But he hasn’t. He’d rather hide away in Middle-earth. Wtf shut up! Yeah, this trilogy would've been SO MUCH BETTER if it reflected our current geopolitical problems and ongoing wars and struggles. And... quote:This is hardly Jackson’s issue alone. He just wanted to make a movie out of a book, one he loves so deeply he nearly kills it. Maybe it’s everything we’ve been through during this year of disease and disaster, but the problems of a Hobbit, a wizard, and 13 Dwarves don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. If you can convince yourself they do, by all means sign up for Jackson’s vision in all its endless, pointless glory. The rest of us have more important matters to attend to. Yeah, right, human being.

The Rankin Bass cartoon may seem kiddy, but it still progressed the story while remaining very faithful to it and most importantly wrapped it up in a fair span of time. Also its' song adaptations owned. What I'm saying is 1) read the book 2) watch the Rankin-Bass version and 3) don't give Peter Jackson any more money

I've yet to see any of the Hobbit movies, so the only thing about them that I somewhat enjoyed was Stephen Colbert interviewing Smaug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaRoqslM4W0

I was really excited when this was a Guillermo del Toro joint. And I'm pretty sure all my favorite stuff from the movies has had his fingerprints on it.

He was a dick in the book too. Pride without wisdom basically. I thought the actor did a pretty good job, he always seemed like he had something uncomfortably rectally inserted.

FreudianSlippers posted:Isn't Silmarillion mostly just notes, lore and background info that wasn't meant to be published in any form? Not really. It's a collection of mostly stand alone "things". Some of them are stories (Beren and Luthien is awesome), others are more like myths or Bible chapters. The Silmarillion was started long before LOTR, but Tolkien never thought it was good enough to publish, so it wasn't until after he died. If you loved LOTR and would like to know more, give it a chance. Warning: It can be dense.
