Bilbo thought it was a cool adventure. The dragon was no accident, it was anticipated

[-] AEsheron@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

In the book, he and Gandalf were planning the party for months. The whole thing was his plan from the beginning.

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

One might even say long-expected.

dragon attack survivor

That's one way to describe a burglar who came with a group to kill and plunder. And succeeded in both without major troubles.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

I think they had a few troubles along the way

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 2 years ago

We had troubles, yes. But what about second troubles?

Okay, that is a beautiful meme

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

without major troubles

Fili and Kili might feel otherwise.

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I believe they both died after the Mountain and the Smaug part, so not really relevant.

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

Gandalf was going to tell a tale about Bilbo's life during the party, and Middle Earth doesn't have slide projectors.

[-] Starbuck@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Right! Bilbo spent all these years telling the Shire about how scary the dragon was, but for his birthday he got Gandalf to simulate the dragon for everyone.

i feel like "does he not like bilbo?" can basically sum up gandalf's actions in the hobbit more generally

“You look like a thief, mind if I invite all my friends to a party in your house? You know what, I’m doing it anyway!”

[-] style99@lemm.ee 44 points 2 years ago

A wizard does not hate, nor does he love. He feels precisely the way he means to.

[-] Maultasche@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

He brought it because that's what Bilbo asked him to do

The real question is, with all these awesome drone displays, why has no one replicated it IRL?

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

The dragon died and they’re celebrating Bilbo’s robbery and outwitting of Smaug.

[-] seahorse@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago

A cruel jape!

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Who tf would like Bilbo?
He just wanted his precious.

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It came with the firework pack he bought across the border of the shire.
