Anyone think that orcs vs. Elves in Mirkwood could result. . . In Thranduil killing Azog, and robbing Thorin of his Vengeance?

I am just saying . . . it is just the sort of thing that Thorin really would not appreciate, even if he should.

There's no way that Azog is going to be [In reply to] Can't Post

Killed by anyone other than a Dwarf. In my opinion, instead of going with what Tolkien has written, they have extended the lifespan of Azog; but Dain will still kill him.

That keeps within Azanulbizar, despite the obvious change in timing.

My ideas... [In reply to] Can't Post

...but not something I'd really like to happen...was that Azog would be finally killed by Beorn...He would say Thorin that his time will still come...

Version 2: Beorn goes out hunting at night. Thorin wakes and chases him and then he discovers Beorn and orcs and with some help from Beorn finally slays Azog.

But I don't think it will happen this way. One of the reasons for me is the cinematic one - too short time between the last meeting with Azog and the day when they visit Beorn.

No [In reply to] Can't Post

Remember that interview someone unearthed recently where Jackson said we'd be seeing a lot more of Azog in films 2 and 3? I think he's destined to meet his end at the Five Armies.

No it doesn't. Dain killing him now would still be robbed of much, and would marginalize Bolg horribly. [In reply to] Can't Post

At Azanulbizar Dain slays Azog, fulfilling the War of Vengance, soon after Azog had slain Nain, the nephew of Thror. He then beheld the Balrog within the gate, and came down to Thrain, filled with terror, reporting that Durin's Bane still ruled Moria, and giving his prophetic words concerning the long wait the dwarves would have and the change that would have to come, ere they could reclaim it.

Where would any of that be now. Azog just needs to hurry up and go away already. Great in the portrayl, but enough is enough.

Sorry, but he is here to stay [In reply to] Can't Post

Jackson has already stated that we will see plenty of Azog in both of the next two films. He ain't going anywhere before the BoFA.

As for Bolg, I doubt that he will even be portrayed as being Azog's son. I suspect that they will be largely unrelated characters.

His defiling days aren't done yet. [In reply to] Can't Post

And I doubt very much that they will end in Mirkwood. BoT5A is where he'll say the big goodbye, and not a moment sooner.

I think the order could be (BO5A spoilers) [In reply to] Can't Post

Thorin slays Azog

Bolg mortally wounds Thorin

Beorn destroys Bolg OR Dain kills Bolg, and Beorn bears (sorry can't resist that pun) Thorin to safety.




Leaves Dain in the loop and gives us some vengeance and satisfaction. I do not think Mirkwood will be either Orcs' end.

It could be something like this - [In reply to] Can't Post

The Dwarves of the Iron Hills are led to Erebor by Nain, Thorin's still-living kinsman. We may get a family reunion of sorts.


Azog kills Nain and 'young' Dain kills Azog during the BO5A. Bolg still gets killed by Beorn. I don't want Thorin to personally kill any of his main enemies, just like in the book. All of his main goals are accomplished by others, though he may have been a catalyst of sorts.

With the addition of certain other casualties amongst the good guys, Thorin eventually realises that he hadn't entirely got all his priorities right, as he admits to Bilbo before the end..

Even though they are two very strong characters, I hope so. Beorn is one of my all time favorites in all of canon. The passage in the text where Beorn carries Thorin is so tiny but so moving. I can only imagine how it will look onscreen.

I'd prefer your idea to [In reply to] Can't Post

any Elf killing Azog...but it probably will be Dain that does the deed.

when do you think we will see Bolg? [In reply to] Can't Post

I saw his picture on a AUJ poster, so I assumed we were going to see him in the first movie, but I'm guessing we will see him in DOS instead? What part of the story do you think we will see him?

Since he is described as the torturer of Dol Guldur [In reply to] Can't Post

And the fact we will be seeing more of Dol Guldur in DOS, I'm guessing he'll feature sometime in DOS.

He'll have a much bigger role in TABA though. He'll have something to do with Gandalf being late for the battle. In the book, Gandalf is at Erebor for the whole Arkenstone fiasco. In the film, I think he'll turn up just as the battle is about to start.

Bolg also probably featured in AUJ posters because he was originally intended to appear in the film. Perhaps he is part of the Thrain scenes?

thanks you guys [In reply to] Can't Post

Yeah I was just curious, my guess is he will be in DOS somehow.

He was so prominently feature on that AUJ poster, it made him seem way more important than Azog. In fact I wonder if it was actually Bolg originally and then he was replaced by CG Azog?

Also, why was there no Azog action figure, but there was an action figure for Bolg?
