Negotiations Awkwardslide (20/25)
Seriously, if you interrogate what Thorin says, he does not come out of it looking good.
Book!Thorin has a decent case though. In fact, book!Thorin has a better case, despite the fact that Tolkien never glorified him, and the movie pretty much does nothing but.
Also, what was the point of playing up Thror, and you’re like your grandfather, if the significance gets constantly buried?
