why didn't dart go back to the place with the rest of the mosters when they all ran back? they show him deceased next to his bag of milky ways still in the tunnel.

i think the setup for next season could have been more interesting if they did something with the dead monster in the freezer.

that's all

1) Excellent question, indeed
2) The setup was lazy, indeed

How do you feel about season 3? Will you watch?

Azog


Bolg


Yazneg


In LOTR, they look real and twisted and dirty. They're supposed to be what elves and men turn into when they're corrupted, and because they used practical effects they look like it. They're the visual duality of the races of Middle Earth. The "this is what will become of you if you don't win good". But in the Hobbit they just look so fake. They aren't "real". They're just monster things.

They even had a practical Bolg design that looked (frank)ing rad but they ditched it for the CGI margarine.

He looks like a real, poisoned by evil creature. That's way more intimidating and terrifying than a dopey looking baby with bad teeth that's so edgelord he got metal blades surgically put into his ribs.

Furthermore,

The Witch King is so (frank)ing cool


And again, they nailed the design of this sort of ethereal wraith, when they nearly put this on screen


It looks too much like a soldier when the Nazgul are basically supposed to mirror the wizards in a way.

I also have tons of time for the Mouth of Sauron design.


I could go on for pages about how they nailed almost every aspect of design in the films. But i'll end on this, Pippin's helmet on screen vs the original

The abundance and proliferation of spears/halberds is also a great touch because in reality spears were the most common weapon because they were cheaper and easier to make than to give every scrub conscripted into the army a real sword.

Did you know that when they fought at the Black Gates and Aragorn gives his speech and then turns on his horse, they planned for him to just make a flat turn but for whatever reason the horse got up on two legs and kicked up to make the turn more epic and badass?

The only thing they really didn't get right at the Black gates is that they were fighting in a plain and not on two adjacent hills and there is a little bit of soldier placement continuity discrepancies.

I'll go to bed now.

Did you know that when they lose the hobbits and Aragorn lets out an angry yell after kicking a helmet it's because he actually broke his damn foot on the helmet?

Also in the ambush scene where Aragorn is down and Lurtz throws a dagger at him, the dude playing Lurtz actually threw the knife by accident instead of miming the action and Mortensen had to legit bat it out of the air with his sword.
