Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books
jlow@beehaw.org 2 months agoIs it, though? Conventionally attractive, blonde dude vs grim, beardy dwarf? I’d rather look at the latter all day but I doubt I’m in the majority there.

Similarly, heroes are emphasised in the film more and villains under emphasised. Sauron, Saruman and Denethor all having less screen time than mentions.
That Sam is relatively underplayed is interesting also.
