With regards to the Great Goblin. Was there some quote on this that I've missed?

Gandalf decapitates him Lady Lacrimae Rerum. That i didnt forget.
For a while i assumed they would change to Thorin but apparently it will be the grey pilgrim.

The Great Goblin being dispatched in such a manner, neither in reviews, nor in clips, as we see a dead great Goblin, head in tact, in the trailers. So are you just voicing a violent desire, or have you seen or been given a report that verifies this more graphic scenario?Gandalf decapitates him Lady Lacrimae Rerum. That i didnt forget.
For a while i assumed they would change to Thorin but apparently it will be the grey pilgrim.

...His dead body drops on the dwarves at the end of the second trailer, head in tact.
The Grey Pilgrim, they once called me. Three hundred lives of men I walked this earth, and now I have no time...

i was thinking solely of the book. In it he is decapitated.
I forgot that on the 2nd trailer he appears dead with his head, so...
As for Thorin, beofre that 2nd trailer i , and others, discussed how it could happen that in order to further personalize the dwarven conflict with the goblins, they would make such a change.
All speculation.

how that sequence will work out, since we see Gandalf standing before the dwarves for a moment and then the corpse drops down, seemingly from a great height. I wonder how Gandalf gets down there that fast.

He isn't slain thus in the book. At least not explicitly. After Gandalf turns the bonfire into a pillar of blue

burning flames and smoke, Glamdring is seen glowing, and goes "right through the Great Goblin as he stood dumbfounded in his rage." Now while, technically, it could have gone through his neck in the manner you suggest, it is just as likely that it went through his chest or into some sother vital area. He could even have been cut in half, though I don't think that is how it will be portayed either (thankfully, considering all the guts he no doubt has). If the other trailers are an indicator, the "through" will likely be a piercing rather than a slashing.i was thinking solely of the book. In it he is decapitated.

Not decapitated.
Several people seem to think he is though. It's strange. I wonder where the idea comes from.

But the Great Goblin is a lot larger than the company, even Gandalf, and the skull looks big too.
A large ram?

To me, it looks like only the top half of the dead Great Goblin lands on the platform on top of the dwarves.

It looks all right. I had something else in mind. This looks like some leftover Del Toro material.

Sigh... I just hope Dame Edna's Great Goblin is not turned into some mincing Grande Panto-Orc. I'm worried he'll be played more for laughs, but we will see.
I still have a soft spot for the Rankin Bass Great Goblin. Now he was scary!

His design. I've not read anything bad about the execution of the character.
