Re: Hobbit anon from a couple weeks ago

Thorin's death scene in the movie bugs me because when he runs off, Dwalin goes with him, but then Dwalin comes back to save Bilbo's ass, and there's no explanation given for it.

And every time I rewatch the movies now I hate Thorin's death because the only reason he died was because Dwalin wasn't there to back him up. And he should have been. He went with him! And then.... turned around and came back? For no reason?

I mean, Bilbo is great and all, but Thorin was Dwalin's king and if Thorin had ordered Dwalin back... I think we needed to see that scene. Seriously.

(Also, after saving Bilbo, Dwalin pretty much disappears entirely until they're all gathering around dead Thorin. It really, really bothers me. )

Also, Thorin might not have died if he hadn't changed out of the armour he'd been wearing while in Erebor. Yes, yes visual cue that he'd beaten the madness and returned to himself, but dear god, he died because a) Dwalin wasn't around and because b) he wasn't wearing proper armour.

From an in-universe perspective I'd say it's quite probable that Thorin ordered Dwalin to go help Bilbo tbh, but yeah that entire battle was very choppy and unclear, no real flow or communication driving the action from one scene to the next, just "let's pop over here for a bit, now lets go over here, now over here."

nayrt - This. Very poor planning and choreography in the battle as a whole. I suppose one could argue that it's a more realistic portrayal of war being chaos, but realism is hardly the point in a fantasy epic and it didn't make for a good cinematic moment.
