PJ took something that was very intriguing but only touched on briefly in the book and went "rocks out" on it! those things almost look indestructible! how would you kill something that is made out of stone...?

but it gives them a good reason to find a cave, of course. It certainly ramps up the danger faced OUTSIDE the mountain. The way it was described in the book, you wouldn't have thought that any giant came near them, only the boulders the giants were tossing. But I guess Jackson's going to give the Dwarves and Company a close-up view after all.

Or summon lightning like saruman did when The fellowship tried to cross over the mountain in FOTR.
Basically Saruman could kick their azz ...lol

Well he summoned the lightning while in his tower. So that would work. ;-)

I was hoping they would get included!
But I had the same thought process... How would you destroy one??

In the book, they're throwing stones, but not at Thorin and co. There's no reason to kill them; they're not evil.
I'm not sure if I'm going to like this expansion.

its a good thing sauron never recruited them! you wouldn't need the wolf's head to break into minas tirith or the dynamite to break into helm's deep. i don't think lightning would work Dlanor da Great, have you seen lightning when it hits boulders? it just causes them to roll around or down a hill, the lightning would have to be powerful to crack the stone...

And I never said they were throwing them at the company.
What I did say is that, according to the book, there's no reason to kill them because they're not evil or attacking the company.

We see the giant on two distinct occasion in the trailer: once throwing and once falling. But is the same giant doing both? What if there are two of them, one above/behind the company and one in front of them. The poor company may have stumbled upon a rather nasty domestic dispute. I can just see them being a gigantic couple struggling through a rocky time in their relationship. Perhaps one was taking the other for granite, while the other was being too sedimental.
I'll see myself out.

But the trailer certainly makes it seem like they're being thrown at the Company. And we've only seen one of them. I hope there are more.

One is ahead, throwing stones at the company and the other one is above them which is also the one who falls down at the end of the trailer

I've been trying to work that out. Is it a Stone Giant falling, or the side of the cliff falling apart?

So I am quite sure it is a falling giant.
