Bifur can't talk and communicates through hand gestures and grunts...
|
QuackingTroll

Aug 15 2012, 9:03pm
|
No, but...
|
painjoiker

Aug 15 2012, 10:48pm

I had a theory that Bifur was a. Mute..

|
Kept alive or resurrected?
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:06pm
|
Agreed, Azog seems like a possible subject for necromancy //
|
Captain Salt
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:17pm
|
Reserrected or replaced?
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:46pm
|
Maybe The Necromancer bought him back to life ...? /
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:48pm
|
Well that is one possibility
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:52pm
|
Interesting is an understatement about Azog
|
DarkJackal

Aug 15 2012, 9:58pm

Ah, yes...

Shelob'sAppetite

Carne

Aug 15 2012, 10:18pm
|
I wasn't on the internet during the the release of FOTR
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:23pm
|
Hard to judge with translations
|
DarkJackal
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:34pm
|
It's the piece of information that we didn't know
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:39pm
|
Always good to be skeptical
|
DarkJackal
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:51pm

I'm with Carne on this . . .

Anyone can make up "specifics"
|
DanielLB

Aug 15 2012, 10:54pm
|
Oh, trust me . . .
|
TomthePilgrim
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:57pm
|
Well, Dori DOES carry Bilbo around for a lot of the trek
|
Captain Salt
|
Aug 15 2012, 11:15pm
|
Or a funny headless Azog, bumping into things //
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:07pm
|
This gives me an idea for the next Weta exclusive statue
|
DarkJackal
|
Aug 15 2012, 11:42pm
|
Intriguing...
|
Captain Salt
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:06pm

Big changes with Azog

I am best
|
Shelob'sAppetite

Aug 15 2012, 9:13pm
|
They went with some of the obvious dwarf name derivations...
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:18pm
|
Nori just seems like a bit of a kleptomaniac...
|
Captain Salt
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:22pm
|
And here I thought the stealing silverware crack was a joke!
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:24pm
|
Why would it have been a joke?
|
Shelob'sAppetite
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:28pm
|
I just meant lighthearted, not fabricated.
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:31pm
|
That description is nothing new:
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:39pm
|
Huh, I had overlooked the "illegal" part for some reason. //
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:50pm
|
Eh?
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:23pm
|
I think it's including Galadriel //
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:25pm
|
Galadriel's a magician? /
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:26pm
|
Very much so. Probably the most powerful //
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:28pm
|
Of the most powerful magician is not

Shelob'sAppetite

Are you translating your comments into German and back?

QuackingTroll

Aug 15 2012, 9:40pm

I am in the dwarf

*mods up* Couldn't have put it better myself. //
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:53pm
|
Poor Cirdan. Perhaps he disappeared in a magic act that went wrong? /
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:31pm
|
The two blue wizards magically combined?
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:25pm
|
Saruman, with 4 others:
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:30pm
|
Sweet. I hope that actually happens! //
|
DesiringDragons
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:32pm
|
Yes, that makes sense.
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:33pm
|
I expect it's just a reference

The two Blue Wizards! NT
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:27pm
|
Four others aside from Saruman...?
|
Captain Salt
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:28pm
|
I assume it means Saruman and the four other wizards
|
Seaber
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:33pm
|
Four outers, excludes himself, which would mean
|
AinurOlorin

Aug 15 2012, 11:46pm

It doesn't say Elrond is the oldest
|
DanielLB

Aug 16 2012, 7:02am

I'm confused ... what are these descriptions of? /

Action figures

Carne

Aug 15 2012, 9:28pm

Oh I see...

DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:31pm

The Bridge Direct I believe.

Carne

Aug 15 2012, 9:33pm

More likely character descriptions

Watcher

Now we just need to find out who plays Grinnah and Fimbul!

KateGate! It's not Lilly ;-) /
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:30pm

So, Bifur is not going to properly speak...interesting
|
Radagast-Aiwendil
|
Aug 15 2012, 9:31pm
|
BTW - Azog the Defiler
|
Captain Salt

Azog

Aug 15 2012, 9:57pm
|
Woah, quite a lot of information there
|
TheSexyBeard
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:51pm
|
I'd be more inclined
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 10:57pm
|
None of them hint towards Bifur speaking Khuzdul in the films
|
Shelob'sAppetite
|
Aug 15 2012, 11:00pm
|
Pretty sure CC footage or an interview (or other source) confirmed he would speak in Khuzdul /
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 11:01pm
|
Ok, not so much "official", but still points that way
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 15 2012, 11:04pm

a big revelation

Erebor vs. Moria

DarkJackal

Aug 16 2012, 12:21am
|
I think it's more likely that...
|
Macfeast
|
Aug 16 2012, 12:52am
|
Why does everyone seem to have a problem with the descriptions?
|
lurtz2010
|
Aug 16 2012, 7:05am
|
The same reason as you
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 16 2012, 7:10am
|
Yeah but it's like people want the dwarves to have no life
|
lurtz2010
|
Aug 16 2012, 7:21am
|
Apart from Bifur, I don't think anyone has said anything about the other dwarves?
|
DanielLB
|
Aug 16 2012, 7:49am
|
How is it an improvement?
|
Shagrat
|
Aug 16 2012, 10:25am

I think there are lots of possible explanations
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 16 2012, 10:39am
|
I would suggest waiting until more details get out...
|
Estel78
|
Aug 16 2012, 11:53am
|
I think it's probably better this way instead of having a story about a goblin son avenging his goblin fathers death
|
lurtz2010
|
Aug 16 2012, 11:59am
|
A few things...
|
Shagrat
|
Aug 16 2012, 12:40pm
|
It's a bad idea because Azog is dead
|
kzer_za
|
Aug 16 2012, 12:51pm
|
I think that by including Bolg in Dol Guldur

QuackingTroll

What do you mean? //
|
QuackingTroll

Aug 16 2012, 5:33pm
|
The overall point is a personal response one
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 16 2012, 2:11pm
|
Maybe there's something in the appendices I'm forgetting
|
kzer_za
|
Aug 16 2012, 2:21pm
|
Well the text does support links between Sauron and the Orcs
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 16 2012, 3:56pm
|
I do agree...
|
QuackingTroll
|
Aug 16 2012, 5:42pm
|
Have there been any credible reports
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 16 2012, 5:55pm
|
That sounds fair...
|
QuackingTroll

Aug 16 2012, 6:14pm

"It was said that Azog the Desecrator fell many years ago in the great battle between the Orcs and the Dwarves."
|
Carne
|
Aug 16 2012, 2:27pm
|
The books make it clear that he's dead
|
kzer_za
|
Aug 16 2012, 2:32pm
|
What about the report of Azog being changed to Yazneg?
|
Otaku-sempai
|
Aug 16 2012, 4:53pm
|
But I thought Conan Stevens was playing Azog...
|
Shagrat
|
Aug 16 2012, 4:55pm
|
He's playing Bolg /
|
DanielLB

Aug 16 2012, 4:57pm

I thought so too

dave_lf

Aug 16 2012, 5:50pm
|
Yea, there's a list with the names out there
|
Carne
|
Aug 16 2012, 5:55pm
|
Or there could be no one playing Azog
|
Lacrimae Rerum
|
Aug 16 2012, 5:12pm
|
Yes. Azog could be a completely CGI creation
|
Otaku-sempai

Aug 16 2012, 5:18pm
|
Can any good come of all this confusion?

DarkJackal

Maybe this is the reason for film 3 ;-) /

Ha I'm not entirely sure it is reasonable to label any plot

Compared to the original book, it has become so. //

Well, we heard about Azog long before Yazneg

Aug 17 2012, 1:49pm
|
There's still room for Azog
|
DanielLB

Aug 16 2012, 4:56pm

"Yazneg is the character John Rawls is now playing in the hobbit films. He is no longer playing Azog. "

Legolas faces the choice of either his father or his conscience to follow.

I don't think his choice...
