Re: In Honor of Secret #13

In the movies I didn't get the idea that he had to die to teach a lesson. If so, I do disagree. Unpopular opinion, I guess. At least in that version he did not seem at all like a character who only had to be "saved" via death. It's a moral that makes me uncomfortable.

Sorry! I was joking, but maybe it didn't come off that way. (Or it did and still bothered you.)

I do feel like in the book version Tolkien wanted to 'teach us a lesson' by having Thorin die, but I definitely found film Thorin to be a much more interesting, likable and fleshed out character, who did not in the least deserve to die. That said, the book was tragic, the film was always going to be tragic too, so I feel like even if Thorin didn't deserve to die (not that I think he deserved to die in the book either, btw), his death still ended up reflecting what Tolkien intended. (He still got his line about the world being a better place if more people were like Bilbo.)

Maybe it only appears that way because I've read the book, though?
