Re: Disappointments and Surprises

[(Anonymous)]

Negative:

Star Wars TLJ killed any interest I ever had in anything Star Wars related.
The Hobbit movies were pretty damn terrible and a huge disappointment, especially since I actually liked the LotR movies and had a certain confidence that Peter Jackson wouldn't fuck it up. He did.

Positive:
Any fleeting contact in had with anything LoL related ranged from "can't be bothered to be interested in this overhyped ugly game that I don't understand" to "get that batshit crazy fandom with its batshit crazy people away from me" so Arcane didn't seem like something I would be interested in but I really liked it a lot. And now I really dig the Heart Steel music video and connected short animations. Still zero interest in the actual game though.

When I first tried reading MDZS I thought I would never get into any of it, I couldn't remember the names (especially since people had SEVERAL) and things were kind of rocky. Fast forward a few years and I'm absolutely hooked on danmei novels.

With the Hobbit movies, it wasn't all or even mostly Jackson. The studio forced him to do certain things (like the romance triangle) after originally telling him he could do what he wanted. And he originally wanted 2 movies, but they insisted on 3. Not saying he's completely blameless, but the studio shoulders a lot of the blame.

Yeah, I do actually kind of pity him because he got screwed over as well. It's just that a lot of the positive expectations were linked to him handling LotR fairly well so the disappointment remained the same, whether it was actually his fault or not.

Re: Disappointments and Surprises

[philstar22]

Oh, yes. And he definitely has some of the blame. Just not all of it. Honestly LOTR has flaws too, in terms of being an adaption. But they are amazing movies nonetheless. It is sad that the Hobbit never got the adaption it deserved.

Re: Disappointments and Surprises

Yeah, that was kind of my issue: LotR wasn't a flawless adaptation but they worked great as the movies they were. The Hobbit was both a bad adaptation AND they weren't good movies.

He wasn't forced to shoot the movies in nauseavision or whatever the thing was that made the whole thing vertigo inducing was called. That was a major unforced error, plus the air-stepping elf scene.

Plus he put the breaks in a weird place. The second movie ought to have ended with them reaching The Lonely Mountain and not the breaching of it. Keep that for the final movie, and give the voyage through Mirkwood and contact with the Lake People more prominence. That makes Movie three a nonstop ride, you don't bogged down in it that way.

Re: Disappointments and Surprises

Oh I agree. He's not blameless. I'm just saying people talk as if he's the only one to blame when the studio has as much or more blame as him.
