Scooby Do Smaug Chase
|
Can't Post
|
|
The Smaug chase scene reminds me of the monster chase scenes in Scooby Do. Scary monster, no real danger to the protagonists, an elaborate trap is set up then sprung on the unsuspecting beast. The only thing missing was an unmasking and subsequent villain monologue explaining why they did it. So, let's say Smaug is buried up do his neck in gold and the dwarves pull off the mask... Who is it and what is their monologue?

"OK, Barliman! What’s the big idea?" "Uh, well, I thought I'd steal all the Dwarven gold, and so I'd be rich, and then I wouldn't have to work anymore." "You fiend!" "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling dwarves!"

...not who I had in mind at all! I have an idea, but will wait to see if anyone else comes up with the same.

He then explains his incredibly elaborate reason for pretending to be a dragon all these years - So that people would think he's a real wizard. "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling dwarves" ...It always turns out to be the person who started the whole thing. And it would explain where he keeps going - running ahead setting up situations to pretend to save everyone from.

Two great ideas, I was thinking Thrain. All: Thrain! Thorin: Dad! How could you? Thrain: Well, your grandfather came down with an awful case of the dragon sickness. I had to do something. Then I remembered the old dragon legends and created this costume. Balin: but did you have to destroy Erebor!? Not to mention Dale. Thrain: in retrospect it was a bit much, but I just didn't want him to fall back into old habits. And I certainly didn't want my son to follow in his footsteps! I was going to keep my family out of this mountain forever...and I would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling dwarves!

Thorin: Remove it! *Balin and Dwalin remove the mask* Bilbo: Lobelia Sackville-Baggins!?!? Thorin: You know this deceiver? Bilbo: Well, yes... but how... why??? Lobelia: What's it to you?! I've been after your things for some time, Bilbo, sneaking about your windows, waiting for the right moment to make off with something shiny and valuable. Then one night I just so happen to hear the commotion inside involving a large fortune of gold and couldn't resist! I immediately set off to the mountain. Balin: But then, what about the real Smaug? Lobelia: I killed him with flair and a greater love of petty theft! And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for the gold you miserable rodents drowned me in. Bilbo: Well, that is ironic, isn't it?
Bilbo: These are dark days. Bofur: Dark days indeed.
