“There are no Dwarf women…”
Keep telling yourself that.
And we are on…
“Who should have loved her as a father”
and not as the creepy uncle that wants to make nude etchings of her…
I’ll have to think on that. That’s how much a travesty that character suffered. FOR NO REASON!
I don’t know if a movie version of Bombadil could live up to the one in my imagination. It would probably have come off as too silly for most audiences anyway, so I’m not too upset about it.
Good dream? I’ll say.
I love Theoden’s arc in this. He goes from puppet king to filled with regret to brave leader and king.
Here, I did enjoy the fleshing out of the Arwen/Aragorn story, no matter the liberties they took with some of the details of it.
Yeah. Totally agree. I don’t know what they were thinking. Maybe Fran and Pete were fighting at the time and someone left Philippa running the show.
Yeah, they did take a lot of liberties that I approved of (Elves at Helm’s Deep was the biggest) But I’m still mystified as to why the felt the need to whack Faramir’s metaphorical balls off.
Battlecat!
What ugly creatures.
I didn’t think I was gonna like that but their whole arc was beautifully done and adds to the story nicely.
“i have the powwweeerrrr!!!”
Very glad they didn’t use the scenes with Arwen at Helm’s Deep. That would have been taking it too far. I have mixed feelings on the Warg inclusion, and feel very negatively about Legolas and Gimli competing for kill-counts.
The Elf is in shock.
Look! It’s Helm’s Deep! I just got paid to recognize and point out Helm’s Deep!
I think the Wargs worked, and the kill count felt natural given their relationship (although I’m sure JRRT would have been puzzled by it.)
I just want to hold Peter down with a glowing sword to his neck and demand to know what the hell he was thinking with Faramir. (Sadly, I can guess his answer, it’s just a stupid one.)
Oh, they found their mother.
Huh? Found this:
What Philippa said:
On changing Faramir in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) script: “If you’re trying to up the tension, you don’t have your main characters captured by someone who sort of interrogates them, but, not really, who then offers them a cup of tea and says, ‘I’ll do anything I can to help you.’ It’s death on film. And it’s not just the effect that the character out of the book has on Frodo and Sam’s journey, it’s the effect that character has on the Ring. You’ve just been desperately trying to establish that this is the most evil thing ever created, it’s tearing apart the mind of your main character, it’s reduced this other character to this miserable creature Gollum, and now you come along someone who says, ‘I would not touch this thing if it lay on the highway.’ You’ve just stripped the Ring of all its power.”
Doesn’t really answer your beef, Pike.
