#hobbit3 circus power!
half of this sequence is not even in the theatrical, even tho it's the pay-off for the three-film set up of who the dwarves actually are (a gaggle of oddballs with unlikely skills)

#hobbit3 by my count five of the 13 are actual hardened warriors (thorin, fili, kili, dwalin and the one who has a bit of orc axe embedded in his head = bifur i believe)
of course the other eight are the finest circus acrobats in middle earth (this is canon)

#hobbit3 three armies (dwarves, elves and men) fending off two armies (of orcs) and losing: "to turn the tide of battle we need is exacly 13 more dwarves!"

#hobbit3 the problem with the battle isn't a lack of inventiveness or a handling of the introduction of levels of peril and indie2-style devices and fair-rides, it's that it's basically a very intense and joyless cartoon which fails to calibrate the emotional pay-off of its surprises

#hobbit3 gandalf shouting "to the city! this way!"
i mean it's standing right there 300 yards away, are you worried they'd go the other way round the mountain?

#hobbit3 not for nothing that the guy who runs acoup.blog has no entries examining the tactics of the various armies in the battle of the five armies

#hobbit3 goat cavalry charge? very funny
no one who dies in the next scene or three is anyone we've spent screen-time with so it's still all very amusing! 😂🤣

#hobbit3 cut from legolas saying "my mum [e.g.thandruil's wife] died in angmar" to thandruil learning that the orcs are on the moves en masse and basically replying "tush pish all wizards are full of shit"
