Battle of the 5 Armies: Extended Edition Prologue
|
Can't Post

BOTFA is the only movie in ALL the six middle earth movies where we don't see a flashback prologue.
I just think we should have a introduction during the kingdom of Thror (Thorin's grandpa) before the attack of Smaug, the Terrible. We would see a young Thorin (again) a young Balin and a baby Dwalin (yeah!). We also would see Dis and, probaly, Frerin.
The prologue would show the sickness of Thror, and Thorin living with it.
AMAZING 
How aaaaaaaaaaaaaare you all???

... flashbacks to the Blue Mountains before the journey or preperations or whatnot. Would have been cool to see Dis, but that wont happen, but still a scene like that would still work with characters from the Company.

Not with that cliffhanger. We already saw all of pre-Smaug Erebor needed. The ONLY prologue I'd be interested in is the meeting in Erid Luin between Thorin and Dain. Okay, I know it was his representative, but we need MORE DAIN!!!

I feel like we would have gotten one already if there was ever a prologue planned. Like a lot of people have said, I think showing the meeting with Thorin and Dain would be great. But there's nothing to suggest that that was ever shot.
I've heard rumors that there was a rough version of a White Council related prologue shown during that early fan screening, but I really doubt that it's true.

I don't think we'll get a prologue in the extended edition of TH:BotFA. There just isn't enough reason for one.
According to the background materials for the films, Dwalin is actually supposed to be a little older than Thorin, so even if we did get another flashback to the reign of Thror, I don't think we would see Balin's little brother as a baby (as opposed to the book-canon, where Dwalin wasn't even born yet when Smaug drove Durin's Folk from Erebor). In fact, we see Dwalin at the Battle of Moria, sporting a Mohawk.

What would have been the prologue for the 2nd film? Surely they had one planned then. But maybe they were just going to jump into the 2nd film with no prologue, but I highly doubt that.

I believe Peter Jackson says that the plan was for the second film to open up with the company traveling on the Long Lake, presumably with the "Never go east" scene. I could be wrong, but I think he implies that there was no prologue.

I am for the flashback prologue.
If you watch just the third movie, it is odd to open directly into action. And you don't know what's going on.

there will be a prologue. Though there is always the possibility, especially since the other five films all had prologues...still I would not hope for it. However if there is, I would prefer to see this...
flashbacks to the Blue Mountains before the journey or preperations or whatnot. Would have been cool to see Dis, but that wont happen, but still a scene like that would still work with characters from the Company. RA once said that Thorin was hesitant about bringing his nephews along because he knew of the danger within the Mountain. (Guessing this was one of many moments filmed that did not make the cut). A moment in Ered Luin reflecting this would be interesting...especially knowing how the story ends.

Would be amazing to see Thorin meeting with Dain and company, being told they won't come. I think it would add emotional depth to the end of BOFA when Dain and the army appears.
Of course, if a prologue hasn't been filmed this is all a moot point. I'm still holding out hope that we'll see one.

I'd rather they used the extra EE time for the dwarves and the story

The other prologues are great, and seeing the Blue Mountains would have been nice, but at this point I really just want to see more of my beloved dwarves, "one last time".
