The ending to the book is one of the best reveals I’ve read/watched. The movie discarding it was such a huge disservice.

On this topic: The Hobbit movies.

What the fuck?

I’m rereading the book for the first time since childhood. They retconned all of Thorin’s character traits and Bilbo did not play for time to save them from the trolls.

It’s frustrating.

Hobbit movies in general were stupid with how much they padded the story

There’s a good movie in there, spread thinly over three. Like butter scraped over too much bread…

Yeah, there’s lot of good stuff there, some scenes are absolutely beautiful, and I enjoy them enough to rewatch every couple years, but they’re absolutely garbage in how they respect the source material
