*hugtackles Elanor* THANK YOU!!!!!!! I'm not being driven crazy anymore!
Oof! *hugs back* Glad to have been of some service! I know how how it is when one line has the capability to drive one crazy, been there several times myself. 😛
I can't stand not knowing where a line is!!
Ela: I'm gonna have to watch that video sometime x)
@Anne: You should, it's quite amusing actually in all it's silliness. 😛
It has to be. I have to remind myself to watch it.
Just a quick question, has anybody else ever thought about how dumb it was for Thorin, Fili, and Kili to all attack Ravenhill? I mean, there are 3 heirs of Durin left. OK! Let's bring them all up there to where the orcs could all be hiding and wipe them out! One would think that Thorin would be sensible enough to leave one of his nephews behind....
Since they were his sister-sons, I don't think they could have stayed behind because of their loyalty to their uncle and the want to defend him, (as in the book where they died "body and shield" protecting him from his attackers). Also, I think that was the reason for Gandalf's remark about "He's taking his best warriors" to give the impression that these four were the ones who would be able to take out Azog. Another possible explanation could be the fact that nothing serious happened to any of them during the journey, save Kili's wound but that was healed, which would give him the thought of invulnerability. Still, I do have to say that it was a terrible mistake to have the brother's scout out the tower.
Yes, I did think of the lack of planning (particularly where the heirs are involved), but I was more concerned by the fact that they didn't die in the thick of the battle like they were supposed to.... (Granted, the solitary fighting allowed for the Bilbo-and-Thorin moment that I love so much....)
Maybe it wasn't well planned out cause it wasn't in the book ... -_- haha sorry guys, I'm such a downer.
😛 This is true. (No worries!)
Haha, true. Basically the entire battle wasn't in the book (or written about, anyway). 😛
Yeah and they didn't even make Fili and Kili die defending Thorin "shield and body." 🙁 I need to read that book again ....
Love your set, btw, Ella.
That was the part about their dying in the movie that ticked me off the most. I mean, sure if you want, kill Fili off horribly first if you want so we get the satisfaction of seeing Kili go berserk (though I'd personally prefer it the other way around, but anyway).... The revenge arc, Bolg, and Tauriel got in the way.
Agreed, take out Bolg, Legolas and Tauriel, and it would be much better for me. I do love the exchange between Bilbo and Thorin and wouldn't like to see that changed because... feels.
A bit off topic here, I got two HUGE BoFA movie posters from our local cinema. One is with Bilbo pointing his sword outwards and the other is of him kneeling. You can imagine how excited I was to get them even if they are for Eria's party. 
:O I'd offer to buy them off you, but... I've a feeling they're not for sale. 😉
