tom would have killed the pace of the movie. I love the story but theres enough in that first movie allready. Sure, could have done a 4th and made each one a little shorter...
I always thought Bombadil was fair enough, he’d probably ruin the imersion a little bit. Also the whole ‘he’d just forget about the ring bro, we can’t give it to him’ would most likely annoy or confuse some portions of the audience. He’s just too complex and strange of a character to work on screen.
sorry bud but lord of the rings+supporting work is the greatest piece of fiction ever created, I will tolerate no disrespect or dumbing down. it is a lot better than it could have been >though
np, if you are too stupid to understand that a change in medium demands a change in the way you present a story, it cant be helped. One of my biggest wishes allways was to be stupid. Stupid people have an easy time because they never question the useless bullshit they shout out in the world. Enjoy it, fren

But I wouldn't expect the average Cinemaphile tard to understand. You probably didn't read the books, or the hobbit, or the silmarillion, or the legendarium.

Anon, everyone read these books when they were 8 years old. You're supposed to move on from children's literature, not fawn over it for your entire life.

Lotr is for 13+, an 8 year old wouldn't understand it
Lotr is very similar in quality and style to a walter scott novel, which were widely read by adults in the more literate 19th century

keyword being generic. the gravity of tolkien's literary achievement cannot simply be measured by how much money it has made. you would respect this if you picked up one of his books and read the foreword. >This tale grew in the telling, until it became a history of the Great War of the Ring and included many glimpses of the yet more ancient history that preceded it. It was begun soon after The Hobbit was written and before its publication in 1937; but I did not go on with this sequel, for I wished first to complete and set in order the mythology and legends of the Elder Days, which had then been taking shape for some years. I desired to do this for my own satisfaction, and I had little hope that other people would be interested in this work, especially since it was primarily linguistic in inspiration and was begun in order to provide the necessary background of ‘history’ for Elvish tongues.

I think a strange but friendly spirit who lives hidden somewhere in the world is a perfectly believable part of the universe, and it adds to the comfortable feeling of the opening of Fellowship.
I understand cutting him for the sake of pace though, because he's largely irrelevant to the overall plot.
funnier when you realize this really is basically him. hes a muscle wizard and all his kills come from just wading around groups of enemies and murdering them with a giant sword. he doesnt even wear armor
Did he ever recover from that?
saruuumaaan
great video
>Gandalf The White?
>Gandalf The Black person !!!
GANDALF THE WHITE?
GANDALF THE SHITE.
Gandalf Stormcrow?
Gandalf StormBLOWS
Pippin was such a frick up in the first movie
he was always a frick up
He killed a Troll in front of the Black Gate.
>Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement
>*5 minutes later*
>have a nice day IRL you dumb midget!!!
Grandelf got called the frick out here
The orange fool- like Donald Trump
This sure looks like a boss room, guys.
Jackson ruined the entire Moria arc with this shit. There were supposed to be a handful of small orc bands in Moria, not a legion of them.
The book had lots of orcs, fool.
>you stink of horse
Wtf was his problem
not horse, prostitutes
There is a reason he's called Wormtongue!
How do you respond without sounding mad?
>saruman the white?
>sauronman THE SERVANT
>No i'm Mandalf his brother
>mandalf the maroon
Respond without sounding mad, I cannot.
Saruman the poof!
Saruman the white?
More like Sauron-Man the orclover!
no u
Saruman the stinky
Frick off Saruman you arsehole none of the other wizards even like you, we have parties all the time that you're not invited to and we laugh about how stupid and gay you are
He didn't even say it to Gandalf's face. There's no need to respond, he's just seething in his goon tower.
Wait! Give me more time!
>He always seem like Gandalf the Gay to me
Slamdalf the cruel
>World champion after the mage match ontop Isengard: Fire on the spire
sad they didn't add his death in movies. merry and pippin were such great characters in the books
They did in the extended edition
wat? no
?
ah ok that, nah thats bullshit
he went to the shire and started to redesign it into an industrial colony and the hobbits defeated him
yeah but it was very different than in books
The Scouring of The Shire would have never worked in the movies. The one good decision Jackson made.
Mithrandir?
More like Shitrandir
Gandalf the cis!
>Oh no, many colors! My one weakness!!!
>Saruman of Many Colors?
>Saruman of Many BLUNDERS!
AHHH I'M GOING INSANE!!!
How come the movie didn't feature Saruman of Many Colors?
Worked better on paper than screen.

I also would have accepted JERKson.
Scouring of the Shire, famalam.
The razing of the shire feels like a DLC and fricks up the pacing and arch
Gandalf the Grey?
I am Gandalf the Whey
I kneel
funnier when you realize this really is basically him. hes a muscle wizard and all his kills come from just wading around groups of enemies and murdering them with a giant sword. he doesnt even wear armor

>character named sauronman
>secretly works for villain sauron
bravo tolkien
Is he a Raiden rip-off?
Breh
Did Old Man Willow attack because it wanted the One Ring? What would a tree desire?
It was just his nature

Tolkien was a hack.
