My thoughts... [In reply to] Can't Post

I think that PJ will have to make the elves a bit more likable than they are in the book- obviously, we know them very well because of LotR, so the way they act in the book isn't exactly keeping in their nature. However, something will prompt them to lock up the dwarves. It could be they have heard about this mission from Rivendell, and don't want the dwarves to continue on their journey for fear of the dragon- or that Thranduil knows Thorin (which seems only natural), and realizes what he wants to do. I'm not scared at all about any mischaracterizations, though. The characters are already firmly established.

I do, however, think that there will be one major change: I don't see Bilbo becoming the defacto leader of the company, the way he does in the book. The dwarves in PJ's version are far more capable than they are in the book. Some might feel that this "diminishes" Bilbo's role, but I don't think it will...he still has to deal with the dragon without help, which is the most important part of the journey.

        From the pictures, I think Thorin remains with the company, and the Elves do aid with the Spiders, AFTER Bilbo's initial rescue. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 1 2013, 12:38am
