Amph One Thread To Rule Them All: The Rings of Power + The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings Trilogies

The person in question has made it apparent that they haven't read the works in question.
Otherwise, they'd have been talking about, say Narn I Chin Hurin. Or individual sections of Silmarillion or something.

 

I can't wait to see the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth on the big screen.

 

Honestly, I'd probably still go see it.

 

Its material could be used for movies or TV series.

 

Yeah. The Lhammas might be good, or maybe the part where Aragorn is a hobbit with wooden shoes over his severely burned feet.

 

I totally agree it has no easing down from the cliffhanger into the credits but that's precisely why I like it. Fellowship, Two Towers & Journey all end in what I like to call "clffhanger-ish" positions kind of like Empire or hell even Back to the Future II. The movie's story ends and there's a comedown to the final shot. But the "Desolation" ending I like, hacked off and manufactured it may be, precisely because it goes for the cut to black abruptness of it. It's like the ending of a "24" episode. Does something different. not to say it's better than how Jackson's other movies ended but I get a kick outta it. Sometimes one can go cliffhanger literally as the car is going off the cliff.

 

So, how does Alfrid finally die in the EE?

 

There's quite a bit of material in the BOTFA appendices, spread throughout the documentaries. I incorporated a scene with Bilbo and Bard in Dale during the battle, when Bilbo buries the acorn after he becomes convinced he won't live to see it planted in the Shire.

 

I really liked the "I am fire... I am death." finale scene too.

 

In a troll's mouth

 

Considering how painful it was to suffer him every time he popped up, that's too kind a fate.

 

What are your guys favorite scenes from the LOTR trilogy? This one here, the charge of the Rohirrim at the Pelennor Fields, is just so damn epic! The music, the emotion, and just the epic scale of the scene makes it one of my all time favorite scenes.

 

Nope

 

I don't think he ever approached anything I would call amusing. He just filled up time that they could have used to, say, actually include the ending of the story in the film- even the extended edition doesn't tell who becomes King Under the Mountain, or show Thorin's tomb, and the films played up the "reclaiming their homeland" far more than the book prior to that. And after all of that, his plot doesn't even go anywhere in the theatrical version, (though I'd question whether being eaten qualifies as going anywhere), nor does Tauriel's in either version.

 

I liked the Tauriel subplot, even if it could have been cut I'm glad it wasn't.

Alfrid was just a horrible waste of time. The Jar Jar Binks of the Hobbit trilogy.

 

That's an insult to Jar Jar. He actually contributed to the prequels in two significant ways.

 

Isn't Dain shown with a crown as the new king in the EE?

 

Yes.

 

Just to make sure I was clear, the specific thing I was complaining about is that after inserting the character and making a big deal about her in the two films, she doesn't really go anywhere or get resolution. She just disappears...

 

I suppose PJ will make a special edition where he digitally splices her into every scene.

 

That scene still gives me chills, in a good way!



There's also the Gandalf/Balrog scene.

But I really like what the beginning of TTT adds to it...





Then there's Eowyn and the Witch-King, followed by Théoden's death:




And of course the Battle of Black Gate with Gollum's sneak attack on Mount Doom, everyone just loses their minds and it all goes to hell, and then they're saved by a miracle.

I could keep going...

Tolkien also described huge battles in the North during the War, the books/movies just focused on the South.

PJ could always make a side-quel
