The absence of the crows. People how do you think things play out to warn Dain?

The absence of the crows. People how do you think things play out to warn Dain? Can't Post

Watching the fantastic trailer, I wonder what role plays that sled on wich it seems there are Dwalin, Balin and Fili...

We have two shots, one they seem going out from Erebor, and being comfronted by wargs

In the other they are going to Dale

This makes me thing two things

One regarding how Dain will be warned, perhaps those on the charriot go to the iron hills, chat with Dain, but there is no arkenstone, so Dain will refuse and they will come back to Erebor.

After that Dain will do an Theoden and will show up unexpected in the battle.

The other thing is about the siege of the mountain. It seems that at some point Dale will be sieged by perhaps Gundaband orcs or some sort of alliance of orc packs, and the main gate of Erebor too, perhaps Dale will fight its own battle in wich Bard becomes the true lider. Remember that scene when Thranduil arrives and there is already dead people on the streets. And after having break the siege and take control of the valley they will go to the main gate of Erebor and parlament with Thorin, who already is completely mad in knowing that Dain wont go in his help and its al about dwarven pride.

And at the end it will play as in the book, the huge army of Dol Guldur will arrive, and Dain will arrive and we have the battle itself

Jus Thoughts...

The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true!

Well..... [In reply to] Can't Post

We don't know for sure the ravens are absent. They would be CGI and may not have been added yet.

We've certainly had plenty of references to ravens, from the end of AUJ when Oin thinks he sees a raven and Gandalf tells him it's a thrush, though to the heraldic ravens on the tapestry, dwarf armour and dwarf art. So they have taken note of the importance of ravens to the dwarves.

Now, given that they left out Beorn's animals (and the Talking Purse), I'd say that it's entirely likely that Roac will be left out as well, and all these references to ravens are their way of acknowledging the part ravens play in the book. In that case they'll have to find find some other way to summon Dain, and it could indeed be the chariot - it must be going somewhere. But I'm still holding out hope for the ravens. I don't expect we'll see them, but it would be nice.

Yes. [In reply to] Can't Post

The chariot might also be on the way to Ravenhill... which will feature in the movie one way or the other.

Question [In reply to] Can't Post

Where would members of the company get that chariot and the rams to draw it?

Would Dáin not be the one to supply them with such things?

Yes, it is weird. [In reply to] Can't Post

Timeline-wise.

Good question [In reply to] Can't Post

The chariot might be tucked away somewhere in Erebor but the rams can only have come from outside

Did anyone else think it was funny that Oin mistook a thrush for a raven? [In reply to] Can't Post

That's a bit like mistaking a bicycle for a truck. Maybe Oin needs glasses as well as an ear trumpet? Smile

Yes, I think it's way too soon to presume their absence. Fingers crossed, eh?

Regarding Time-line I remember an image of Thorin taking down Azog (green costume guy) [In reply to] Can't Post

There he is not wearing the heavy armour, I´m beginig to think that maybe he will kill Azog, and then Bolg will do his final job(as in the book)

I'm fine with leaving out the crows. [In reply to] Can't Post

They are rude, unpleasant and they swear too much. I much prefer the ravens!
