Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoYeah, I saw the image and thought it was going to be bad, but it’s not like you’d expect any of them to be exactly on the line. They all generally track - I don’t see any giant outliers.

Tom Bombadil is probably the biggest omission - both the character and all tge activities that take place around their house. I remembered that sticking out to me when I watched the films for the first time, but at that point I last read the trilogy at least five years prior.

Understood, but if you did this same graph for most books made into movies, they’d look vastly different. I mean, think of The Shining.
