It's been indicated that the father/son dynamic [In reply to] Can't Post
includes Thorin/Thrain. And, although PJ may have intended to have Azog/Bolg, I get the feeling he has changed his mind.

Thorin can't be killed by Azog or Bolg on the battlefield because he survives long enough to make his famous speech (in the medical tent, as depicted by Tolkien?) I, for one, (and doubtless the majority of the audience) will want to see Thorin get his revenge and kill Azog. I expect to see a spectacular fight after Fili and Kili are killed when Thorin kills Azog but is badly wounded. Beorn will come and rescue him from the battlefield, as in the book, and he and Bilbo will talk to each other in some quiet spot.

Why do you want the complete failure of Thorin? Because he has a short beard? Because he isn't played by some other favoured actor? Because he could be seen to fail in the book? Because you just don't like him and want your revenge? Because you really like Azog? Because people fail, just like in real life?

The rest of us are ordinary mortals who think that Thorin suffers enough and deserves just one, small reward.
