Kili the Romantic

I think this is where my cynicism about The Hobbit is coming from...we just get a rehashing of certain plot points for the sake of nostalgia...and it's really annoying. Kili supposedly an infatuation with Tauriel. I can only assume Legolas is in the film so he can be at the Battle of Five Armies to give us some more shield-sliding CGI spinning tricks, and obviously lines like "Goblins!" "He's here!"

I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm also not very hopeful. Granted my reading of The Hobbit is biased by the fact I read it after LOTR, and thus have never seen it as a "prequel" to LOTR, but as a separate, precise story in a large and expansive universe. But, I'm really worried by PJ et all, seemingly wanting to recycle LOTR storylines, only using different characters.

The really sad bit is that the whole thing is plausible.

Hey PJ: that's why hardcore Tolkien fans have been so critical of your movies. Not that you're much fussed about it, naturally.

Especially since I haven't seen any casting for Galion... and the progress reports have the dwarfs in open barrels not packed in as in the books..which rather suggests that the escape from the king's palace is not going to be as in the books.

Fill the canon cannon with offal, and fire the fodder in one farcical fusillade of flippant flummery. Kili the elleth-killah!

[Sarumian]

And then let's leave Gandalf with his fire-works back in the Shire and let the Strider lead the Company to the Loonely Montain. It's gonna be just right.

Good god! Do we really need romance in The Hobbit? It seems that all of the Hobbit news is about one dwarf having a romance or another elf being included for romances. Wasn't there a rumour that Bilbo is also supposed to have a love interest? Not every film needs to be filled to the brim with love and romance. I think that audiences would be perfectly fine with the book turned to film as it is, not Peter Jackson's This Movie is Kind of Like The Hobbit, But Not Really.

Obviously it does.

This whole Tauriel thing is just silliness. I've got an idea. Tauriel should be married to Legolas, but she falls in love with the dashing Kili. They make their escape in barrels and their love is shunned in Laketown. The rest of the movie is spent following them as they look for a home.

The most fascinating piece of information in that 'spoiler' is that Tauriel is apparently 20 feet tall, revealing her maternal descent from the Misty Mountain giants.

You know what I like about this? What I really really like about this? What made me proud and happy like saying "I told you so" makes you feel?









I like that most of the comments on the bottom are against this romance!


PS: They would choose Kili. He's the Elf that's called a Dwarf.
