The ending to the book is one of the best reveals I've read/watched. The movie discarding it was such a huge disservice.
On this topic: The Hobbit movies.
What the fuck?
I’m rereading the book for the first time since childhood. They retconned all of Thorin’s character traits and Bilbo did not play for time to save them from the trolls.
It’s frustrating.
The animated Hobbit movie is infinitely better than the live action abominations the studio created.
The animated are undeniably better than than the entire series, just based on music alone.
the greatest adventure is top tier movie music!
and ill never forgive peter jackson for what he did to goblin town.
Please spoil me, I have neither read the book or watched this movie.

Basically the main character is the sole survivor in a word of vampiresque monsters. He tries a bit to find a cure while strugging with intense loneliness. During the night he hides in his fortified house. By day, he goes out and hunts them as they sleep. At the end of the book he is captures and put on trial for his heinous acts. They arent monsters really, its a new society, and he is their boogeyman, killing inocent people while they slept. He is the monster. In this new world he will become a legend of old, the monster in the day.I'd suggest reading it instead. It's pretty short (130 pages depending on printing) and a good read.
