Comment on Will The Hunt for Gollum really be two movies? That’s got to be a stretch

This takes place during the 17-year time skip between Bilbo’s birthday party and when Frodo returns home to discover an agitated Gandalf in his home asking if the Ring’s safe. What, you didn’t think it felt like Gandalf going to read that diary in Gondor took 17 years??? Yeah, the movies kinda streamlined and simplified that part.

It’s wild they’re retroactively adding shit they just completely excised in the original film adaptations. What’s next, a side movie about the Hobbits encountering the barrow wights and Tom Bombadil before they reach Bree? A movie about the Scouring of the Shire?

That was seriously 17 years in the book? Wow yeah, the movie made it seem like a week max.

I hear the RoP S2 already fucked Bombadil pretty bad. I couldn’t make it past half of ep 1, though. 🤮🥲

  To be fair, the Amazon show is an entirely separate adaptation and has no relation to the Jacksonverse.
  
  I would assume Warner Brothers would fuck him up in a different way. Judging from the quality of the writing in the Hobbit trilogy I would assume they’d turn Tom Bombadil into a stoner stereotype who also farts constantly or something

    Yeah, that’s only one of the problems that the whole set of fuckeries share between them.
