What if flashback Thorin actually looked like his age in The Hobbit? He was literally just a boy (at least during the fall of Erebor)… Personally I think it would have been more impactful, especially the war scenes (but I think it wasn’t done because of the fact that de-aging is hard). But they could have for example just casted another actor to play the young version of him. I’m kind of salty about this :I

Richard Armitage on Bilbo and Thorin cut out Rivendell scene

I love the scene in the Extended Edition of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey where Thorin overhears the reservations which Gandalf and Elrond are discussing about the dragon sickness; that Thror and Thrain both succumbed, and how do we know that Thorin’s not going to succumb.  It was so true to life; I thought it was just like if one had parents and grandparents who’ve had Alzheimer’s, and you’re facing that fear …  it just seemed very real, very true.

Yeah.  Actually, that was at the end of a much longer scene, which I played with Bilbo on those steps, where I talked about where I was born, and seeing fireflies on the roof; being born in darkness, underground; and then it cuts to that overheard conversation.  And you realise that his childhood has been quite claustrophobic and insular, in terms of his upbringing and being raised as a prince, very much under the control of his father and his grandfather.  I really worked hard on a very close relationship with Thror, because what I felt was that when we do get into those moments with the dragon sickness, later into movie three, I wanted Thorin to have been very, very close to Thror when he was going through that. Like he was almost nursing him through it, so he’s seen evidence of what it was like; so when it starts to manifest itself in him, he knows exactly what’s happening to him, and it’s terrifying.

always funny when someone makes an analysis post with bold and italics and the whole nine yards about something that was extremely obvious and part of any surface level understanding of the story and or characters
