I randomly thought of the Hobbit movies and I remembered Alfrid and just winced. I cannot believe Peter Jackson and co. decided to dedicate that much screentime to this absolutely wretched OC. Were we supposed to find his cowardly antics funny? I don’t get it
In the theatrical cut he just exits the movie trying to escape a siege dressed as a lady with a bunch of loot stuffed in his bra. In the extended cut he hides in a catapult, still in drag, and accidentally gets launched into the mouth of a hideous CGI troll thing which kills both of them. The scene is so bad it doesn’t even work as a cathartic comeuppance. Entirely worthless character in a horrid trilogy of movies
The m4 fanedit honestly redeemed the movies for me. It basically cuts the trilogy down to a 4 hour movie thats true to the book and mostly just follows Bilbo.
Cool I’ll have to look into it.
