What are you looking Forward to In Return of the King? - Page 4

"But no living man am I! Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter! You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, be you living or dark undead, for I will smite you, if you touch him!"

Ok. So maybe the quote was a little off. I don't know, I'm doing this from memory. But if PJ screws up one minute of the entire scene, I will send him hate mail every day, and makes sure he regrets it until the end of his days!!!

Celebriel · 02-27-2003, 10:54 PM

I anticipate comparing the ROTK book to the movie. I do hope they include the end of the One Ring, they wouldn't change that to make Frodo look good. Would they? Would they?!

I also hope they do not change Merry (or was it Pippin?) striking the Nazgûl with his sword.

Not Frodo; they made him a total wimp. Arwen, on the other hand...

**Nurvingiel** · 02-28-2003, 03:41 PM

I have every confidence in PJ's battle abilities. The only problem I've had with any of PJ's battles is having some of the characters ham it up a little for drama's sake. (Ahem: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep.)

But I think he will portray Eowyn and Merry's slaying of the Witch-King beautifully, and no one will be 'screwed up'. That scene has all the drama and suspense he could possibly desire.

Even though Frodo has be buggered up in some previous scenes, I doubt PJ would change the end just so he doesn't come off as evil. Bilbo went all evil in Rivendell when he saw the Ring, PJ knows it's important to show its influence on everyone, even hobbits.

So I don't think the end will get screwed up either. And bonus, imagine how cool Mt. Doom is going to be! Wow!

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 02-28-2003, 04:03 PM

PJ won't change the ending.,,he knows what the fans are looking for...hopefully!

***IronParrot*** · 02-28-2003, 05:28 PM

I'm looking forward to being able to cry my eyes out at a movie for the first time since watching <i>E.T.</i> about eight or nine years ago.

Elvedans · 02-28-2003, 06:35 PM

You mean you didnt cry at the first two?

Actually, he'll be the one who's leading the largest company of men into Minis Tirith, rought 3000 knights.

If he is playing that important part in the movie I guess they will mention his name.

I don't think that PJ would be brave enoph to change the end of the ring, just think about what would happen if he did...
Hate mail
complaning,
and millions of mad fans at the least. I mean, evey book person would hate the man if he did, no, I don't think that he's brave enoph to even think about changeing that.

That's the best idea! I'm going to wear a nifty cloak at least. I love cloaks. With hoods.

PJ wouldn't try to make Frodo look good, he hasn't so far. Frodo is experiencing a lot of temptation from the Ring and PJ has no trouble showing this.

That doesn't have to do with bravery; it crosses the line between dealing with bravery and dealing with intelligence.

It would just be very not-smart to change how the Ring is destroyed. There is no question in my mind that he will preserve that, at least. If he didn't, I would be surprised if he didn't die a violent death (probably bomb, gun, or stabbing)

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-02-2003, 10:02 PM

PJ won't be changing what the fans are looking for..he's not stupid...anyway, I don't know about any of you...but aren't you all going to just feel soooo sad when it is all over.

I'm going to flood the theater while watching ROTK!!

**Nurvingiel** · 03-02-2003, 10:11 PM

I'm not! I'll see it again and again in theatres, then I'll go buy the DVD box set.

Um...it's rathe a bit late for THAT. But as for the positively big, climatic scene, he won't change that. Unless it's for an inclusion of Arwen and her 'Evenstars'.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-02-2003, 10:51 PM

Maybe she'll run in and

shove Gollum into the Cracks of Doom, instead of him just falling in, and then, instead of Frodo and Sam being rescued by Gwaihir, his lieutenants, and Gandalf, she'll call for Glorfindel's horse and bring them safely to Minis Tirith.

Aaargh! Sometimes I just scare myself!

What I'm looking forward to in RotK would be the above not happening.

Envy. Unfortunately I live in a place where I would be the only person in the whole cinema dressed up. They would all stare at me and laugh at me and I'd never be able to go to school again.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-03-2003, 01:35 PM

Do it anyway! People will respect your individuality. I'm lucky in that I can probably convince two of my friends to do it too. I hope you have some supportive, Tolkien obsessed friends too.

Lookin forward to RotK! (Have you seen the promo poster with Aragorn? Wow!)

**Nurvingiel** · 03-03-2003, 01:39 PM

Couldn't fing the one I was looking for where he's on a horse, but I found this cool one... here's the link.
