Thorin's facial scars at the end of AUJ...a DOS continuity problem?

I know PJ added the confrontation sequence between Oakenshield and Azog at the end of AUJ, but all of his scenes in DOS had already been shot so...will this be a problem for DOS?
take me down to the woodland realm where the trees are green and the elf women are pretty....Oh will you please take me home!!

Among other things, of course.
But, then, Thorin's recuperative powers are awesome. There he was practically dead, and after a short eagle flight he's up, walking around, hugging Bilbo, and showing only fairly minor facial marks. They'll probably heal in no time.

:) The Wizard laid hands on him. That can explain away any continuity or recuperative conundrums.

I don't think for a minute that he actually *healed* Thorin or brought him back from the brink of death

Obviously Thorin was wounded but probably not anywhere near fatally. My interpretation was that Gandalf's spell simply allowed Thorin to regain consciousness. Gandalf wanted to use it to see if Thorin was still alive or not. I like the reference to RotK scene you mention though.
Of course, that's only my perspective on what happened.

Too bad it can only be used once per trilogy, or Thorin might have survived Erebor.  Actually, I liked the scene. That part of it anyway. Shows a diversity of Gandalf's powers and usefullness to the company. Also hearkens to his healing of Pippin's mind. :) The Wizard laid hands on him. That can explain away any continuity or recuperative conundrums. ...can be a powerful force of healing and compassion. **I LOVE when it is highlighted!!!!!!!!!!**   (Have noted only recently as well his deep sympathy for the plight of the Dwarves while listening to Thorin in the old farmer's house. Such a perfect characterization of his heart.)

Yet that IS a form of powerful healing. Thorin's unconciousness was not like Pippin's or

Aragorn's after contact with the Palantir (i.e. primarily a psycological, spiritual and magical matter). He had suffered severe head and likely cerebral trauma and a concussion. The healing would have probably had to address that. Obviously Thorin was wounded but probably not anywhere near fatally. My interpretation was that Gandalf's spell simply allowed Thorin to regain consciousness. Gandalf wanted to use it to see if Thorin was still alive or not. I like the reference to RotK scene you mention though.

Yeah, that blow looked close to lethal to me.

AUJ did well with Gandalf's powers i thought, even if it went a little overboard with his melee combat. In Goblin Town he almost reached Yoda levels of cgi swordfighting.

.... for reminding us in a very lovely written way of gandalf's link to valinor, and his beginnings, and what tolkien chooses to emphasize regarding power.
saruman had greater skill, but the power of the gift of compassion and healing and hope is something that gandalf displays again and again, to the benefit of middle earth.
nicely written, nicely done. : )

aka. fili orc-enshield
+++++++++++++++++++
the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield."
this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel

How do we know he wasn't originally going to be injured?

Just because they added the confrontation with Azog doesn't mean Thorin wasn't gonna get hurt in some way, resulting in facial cuts etc. I doubt Peter would be as stupid as not to realise he was creating a massive continuity error for DoS!

PJ added that confrontation between Thorin and Azog after they shot the original two part film? My point is not calling PJ stupid. My point is that PJ shot the scene because there wash't a big enough climax at the end of the original cut when TH was a two part film. However, all the scenes after with Thorin were shot pre-Azog/Thorin confrontation therefore how will they explain the wounds Thorin had on his face at the end of AUJ?

Thorin does have facial wounds at Beorn's

We see in one of the vlogs when the company is at Beorn's house that Thorin has facial wounds, so Thorin was going to be wounded somehow in the original two-part Hobbit films :)
