I saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

[Chocobo]

Hi, none of you know me but, I very much enjoyed the first two hobbit movies.

This movie series has moved so far away from the book and even the appendices it's hardly recognizable. It's just so wrong on so many levels. And fuck who ever decided to make an elf/dwarf romance subplot. BURN!

This is how the Dwemer began.

I'm afraid to ask what that is.

You clearly have a bad memory. Limli FTW.

Elder Scrolls' answer to an elf and a dwarf walk into a bar.

[idlehands]

Elder Scrolls can do whatever they want, Legolas and Gimli were just friends >.> but the idea of a romantic relationship is just absurd. I've read enough Tolkien to know that shit didn't fly. Ugh. Bringing back nightmares from RPing on LOTRO.

And then someone gives the script to a steampunk fanatic.

The Dwemer are, as their name suggests, mer. There's nothing dwarvish about them.

Excepting their dwellings, location and society, yes, Dwemer are nothing like Dwarves from other fantasies. They may be of the elven race, but the Dwemer do fit into the dwarven type of creatures for the purposes of the games.

They are known as Dwarfs by Men.

Maybe Tolkien got past his ultra catholicism to write the first fantasy gay relationship.

I liked them.We are getting cool movies, I wish people would stop being little pricks about it. If you don't like it, don't watch it and move on with your life. And it's an old story, they change it from the book to keep up with the times, and yes, also money. And I'm glad that it's "predictable", I am fucking sick of all the stupid plot twists and betrayals that are in every fucking movie now. For once, I want to see a cool, "the good guys win and things are fucking awesome movie".I read a review about it after I saw it where the person spent about one paragraph on the actual movie and the rest of the article on how "shameful it was for Jackson to make the female elf such a minor character and that she should have been a stronger feminine hero and shame on him for not doing that, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA!"What the fuck is my point anymore, gah I want to kill something.

I think the point here was that, "All movies these days involve the good guys win and everything is an epic battle/explosion/fall through space or a long drop and land bad ass".
