Apparently that's canon though, like radagast had hosed up legs and feet or something. TBH I don't even remember him from when I read lord of the rings but it's been a long time. Did you know hedgehogs are also called urchins? That's why sea urchins are called that, because they look a little like a hedgehog. Also why children are called urchins, becuase they come running out of hedgerows along b roads and get squished by cars.

Not something I can find mentioned on any site nor a feature I can obviously see on other figures.

That swordsman on the right if definitely eating more than lambas bread. I don't remember stating that I like mantic elves, but stranger things haven been said by me.

He's like on like 5 pages. So minor that Peter Jackson replaced him with a moth in the movie. Then decided to give him a lot of time I'm the first Hobbit movie for reasons. I can't slam for the other two Hobbit movies because I had no desire to see them.

The "reason" was because they wanted another wizard, mostly for merchandise, but Tolkien didn't really give them many to work with. Business Gorillas posted:the third one was literally a 2.5 hour warhammer fantasy battle I remember thinking the first hobbit movie was so good and so promising compared to LOTR, but drat, 3 was really bad and shouldn't have been done. I highly recommend the "there and back again" fan edit. It cuts out all the bullshit that wasn't in the book and gets it down at a single very long movie instead of 3 unnecessary films to make money.

also double gently caress you to jackson because iirc the new zealand extras went on strike since they were skimming costs which is why they went from the fantastic "actual people in makeup as orcs" in the first movie to "gigantic retard baby cgi orcs" in the second and third ones. i saw bits and pieces of the third one recently and even now, 7.5 months after the movie was released, all of the cgi looks dated and lovely edit: i did find out recently that billy connolly has parkinson's which is why they had that uncanny valley dwarf king guy instead of an actual guy

I thought it was weird because the film version was more cartoonish than the animated one.

The Hobbit movies were okay, but not particularly amazing. The one thing I really hated was the decision to keep Smaug alive at the end of the second movie only to kill him in the first 5-10 minutes of the third... Why the hell did you not just wrap that up in the second? It would have been a much better ending of movie 2...

Probably because they knew that not having Smaug in the third film would seriously hurt hype. It was very bait and switch.

Should have been two films instead. Cut out all the pointless stuff with Evangeline Lilly and just get right to smaug and the battle of the five armies at the end of 2. Also breaking it into 3 movies meant the transition from movie 1 Thorin (I don't trust you, Bilbo! You're no warrior!) to movie 2 Thorn (Bilbo, you saved us all, you wondeful hobbit. You're truly my friend) to movie 3 Thorin (I AM THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, gently caress you Bilbo!) was really jarring. They made him look like a real jackass.

I think a pretty large chunk of the audience saw it coming though. It was a mistake as the second film didn't so much end as stop short only to be unpaused a year later. The whole thing should have been much more tightly edited and done in two parts as originally planned. There are so many over long action sequences in the trilogy that would have been more enjoyable had they been more to the point.

I don't remember where, but I heard someone say that once the third movie is out on video, that someone will be able to take the three movies and edit them down in to one 3-4 hour movie that is actually good.

Its already been done, and I talked about it in this very thread. Its called the "there and back again" cut, and its really good. It does other cool things with editing too. Rather than opening Hobbit 1 with Smaug attacking Laketown (which chronologically makes sense but not thematically) the movie opens on the shire (just like the book does) and then fills in the story of laketown later when the Dwarves are singing about it. Other changes like that. https://ahobbitsholiday.wordpress.com/

What is all this talk about multiple Hobbit movies? There was one movie. It just happened to be long, and I had to watch it over 3 years (which is not the case on BluRay).

Oh god. Not a miniature in and of itself, but still something horrible and paint-related. Two guys sitting in the store were literally sucking the paint off their brushes to clean them. This is just your friendly reminder that non-toxic literally only means nothing in it has specifically been tested and found to be harmful. Plenty of dodgy chemicals in hobby paint.
