Incanus 5,715 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Stephen Colbert is the man!Nice glimpse of the Master of Laketown. He couldn't be more oily. Also Thranduil's throne had nice deer horns motif going on.PJ is getting back into his Hobbity appearance. Good, good. Perhaps this means that he is getting more jovial as well as far as the scoring process goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 PJ should go a bit further and make all the actors wear green gimp suits so they can digitally paint a more realistic image of the characters on top of that. Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin look so fake in the film now. CG would give them more realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The Hobbit's Baddie Talks!And we have another confirmation that Azog will be in all three films:You're heading back to New Zealand this summer to shoot more scenes. Can you give any hints about what they'll involve?Not really, because I've not yet seen the scripts. But Peter's told me that he's going to build Azog up over the next two films, so I'm getting plenty to do.Great. So a baddie that wasn't even in the book will probably end up having more screentime than Smaug, Saruman or even Sauron. How cool is that?Uncool bro, uncool.While Azog is the least of the film's troubles I found that his inclusion into the plot was quite forced when a solution closer to Tolkien might have been found.

Incanus 5,715 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Honesty what is wrong with Azog?Closer to Tolkien? What do you mean?Azog should be dead and buried. I feel that having him resurrected after 100 years of being dead by whatever means to become the main antagonist of the story is a bit forced that's all.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 That is really only an issue if you are a serious Tolkien nut. They could have had the exact same character, give him a different name like Gorlurz or something and no one would complainStructurally having a identifiable villain in the first film before they get to the dragon is a good idea.

Especially as a driving force, which the novel doesn't have as such as the company stumbles into these small episodic adventures along the way. They just could have handled it with more loyalty to Tolkien's writing instead of going on a wild tangent with Azog and his sudden resurrection. I have already mentioned Bolg as a more logical and even more in line with Tolkien's concepts as a preferable villain but I guess we have to settle on the Hook-Hand Harry and his warg pack of gloom.But as you say most people don't care about these things.

Incanus 5,715 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ok, so if they had the exact same character, but named him Bolg, it would have been fine with you?No not quite. I would have demanded a more elaborate exposition for his hatred for Thorin, perhaps a logical motivation to avenge his father Azog and in the later films the villain might have seen that he could achieve both the destruction of his enemy's kingdom and steal his treasures and also kill him so he raises the armies of Orcs to assault the Lonely Mountain for twofold purpose. More faithful to Tolkien and would have achieved a good effect. Now we have this albino zombie/hook handed creature, who just wants the Dwarves dead because he can.But I am sure the whole "Azog was raised from dead by Necromancer or is at least in cahoots with him" subplot will become apparent in the next film.
