Ahoy this is Gradius on JD's computer. if you need proof then that is what you will get. Anyway, does anybody else think Thorin should have walked away in the movies? he just stood there while azog floated under him, he's a little stupid. LotR LotR LotR LotR
I haven’t seen the Hobbit movies but in the novels Thorin seemed smarter than that.

Yeah, he was smarter in the books.
He was just plain stupid in the movie. He deserved his subsequent impalement for pulling such a stupid move imo.
And one thing, do you guys think Azog stabbed his toe or his foot? To me it look like his toe and I was like “What if he missed his toe and it just went through his boot?…”

It was his foot, it’s hard to spot precisely but I’ve watched it about 30 times so I’m pretty sure it’s the foot.

I mean, considering the ice is thick enough to easily support a stocky dwarf, I think it is pretty safe to assume that an individual couldn’t stab through it like butter—there’s a reason folks drown under ice, it can be rather hard to break if it’s thick enough to stand on. It isn’t really Thorin’s fault that he was standing not atop ice, but atop bad writing and direction pulling the old and always cringeworthy “I faked you out the villain is not dead; we need to stretch the already bloated runtime even more” trope.

Yeah but this is Azog we’re talking about, I mean like look at the guy. He could snap trees, he’d have no problem stabbing right through ice and someone’s foot. Also physics is a moot point in the Hobbit movies.

Even assuming he is stronger than the strongest of humans, there just isn’t someone built well enough to punch through ice with a sword with the speed at which he does, while moving, while moving underwater which requires more strength, while in freezing water which causes your muscles to freeze up. You could feel the gyroscopic forces as the everyone in the movie theatre rolled their eyes at once.
Pretty new illustrated editions soon to be released! Alas, only 1,000 copies will be made, and the going price will be $1,500 and they’ll likely sell out within seconds. Still, super pretty!

What do you think would have happened if Beorn hadn't intervened in the Battle of Five Armies?
Everyone would be screwed. Unless Gandalf and/or Thranduil had pulled off some cool magic WE ARE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS CURRENTLY IN MIDDLE EARTH stuff.
Since we don’t get a good tactical view of the battlefield on account of Bilbo being unconscious, I’m not sure I would go so far as to say they’d be “screwed”. They still had air support from the eagles and the clearly superior tactical knowhow of the dwarves and elves.
That said, the battle almost certainly would have been longer, more bloody, and resulted in more deaths. Recall that Beorn’s contribution was killing the goblin leader - and that the goblins, bear-eft of their commander, broke ranks and fled. Even without Beorn’s involvement, it is rather likely someone - possibly an eagle with a rock - would have taken out Bolg and brought about the same disorganised chaos.

True. I can also see Gandalf (who is certainly smart enough to figure killing the leader will solve a lot of problems lol) finding a way to kill Bolg.

I want those, but I like my money.
I have a weird sense of humor.
