A BIG problem with leaving out Bombadil...
Okay, I hope this isn't something somebody's already mentioned - I'll bet one of you has noticed this already.
Now, Bombadil was the one who first armed the hobbits at the Barrow-downs... cut Bombadil, and you've effectively cut the Barrow-downs, unless you find some extraordinarily clever way around this technicality that would probably piss off us devoted fans anyway who want to see as little change from the original as possible. But then what of this passage from V.6 "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields" (p.141 in the Unwin paperback of RotK)? Quote:
Of course, in the current 3-min teaser, in the shot at Weathertop, you see all the hobbits armed... but where do you get the blades from? How will they be armed, if Bombadil isn't around? |
