Sooo..
Guess this was going to happen inevitably.
Do we need another Hobbit? No.
Do I want to make one? Yes. Because I need completion.
So deal with it!
I'm not certain yet how this edit will turn out. It will probably be a 3 parter, but with far more digestible runtimes.
I'm not going for book accuracy, but rather for a 'most complete story' without the parts that refer heavily to Sauron. He's only hinted at, but never enough to make you really think he is back. Not because he shouldn't be by this point, but because it ruins the tension if we keep getting reminded of a bigger threat.
Also: because the scenes aren't particularly great.
The war will probably the most unique take, where I will try to keep it in line with the rest ( no over the top gore and violence ) and cutting out things that just look 'off', like that ramming troll with the huge block on his head lol.
I've got some ideas that are still unique for the most part, such as the goblin King for example, which plays out a little different than most cuts.
So while the ideas are similar ( we all unanimously hate Alfrid for example ) their is enough material to be creative in ways that havent been done before.
The only thing I'm uncertain about as of yet is wether to keep Bards son. One the one hand it's book accurate, but on the other hands the way he says 'daaaAaaaaaAAAAd' like Hodor gets on my nerves.
