What has that child been doing with their life? They've been robbed of their childhood!

Ooh! Ooh! I finished the Hobbit and I'm on The Fellowship of the Ring, why did Thorin and Fili and Kili have to die? :'(

When Thorin, Fili and Kili died, i started crying!

[HP is a potato]

I wanted to! Thorin was my favorite chracter, and Fili and Kili were my third favorites, Gandalf was #2.

[Triptune]

I hated that, Fili and Kili were and are my favorite dwarves EVAR.

[polerberr]

My favorite Dwarf from The Hobbit is Balin. :3

Also, where is Lunaestrella? I need to give pets to her.

[Lunaestrella]

I am here! *comes galloping on a horse, waving * Mae Govannen, my friends. How is everyone?
Polerberr, I just saw that thing in your signature about banning LotR. What is wrong with these people???!!!!!! First they burn it, then they ban it ... *shakes head and sighs* Silly hobbits.

Why did Thorin and Fili and Kili have to die? :'(

I know, right? They are my two favourite dwarves, and Thorin is kind of cool too. I can´t wait to see them all in the movie, because in the book they didn´t have very distinct personalities or much dialogue, so I don´t actually know which ones are my favourites. But I think it´ll be Fili, Kili, Bombur, Balin, and Thorin. But we´ll have to wait till the movie, aaagghhhh!!

[Bilbo Baggins.]

Blah. I strongly dislike Thorin. He's so arrogant and corrupt and selfish!

Well, he had a lot of pressure on him, being the leader of the company, and he was so passionate about defeating Smaug and taking back what was his. This quest was his life. Imagine someone helped you in an accident. Maybe you were hit by a car and they resuscitated you and saved you. You were so thankful that before thinking anything through, because your mind is in such a state, you say you'll repay them in any way possible. Then they ask you for your most prized possession. Maybe it's something a relative passed on to you just before they died, and it obviously has alot of meaning to you. Would you freely give it to this person without any negative feelings?

Thorin is not completely corrupt. The passion of treasure got the better of him, but in the end he forgave Bilbo. He realized how what Bilbo did was the right thing, it's just that the power possessions such as long lost treasure can have over you can be so overwhelming, I myself would not have acted any differently from Thorin, and I'm not known to be arrogant, corrupt or selfish by my friends. It's all very psychological, in a way. Tolkien really did think of everything when he wrote these characters. ^^

So, when it comes down to it, Thorin is a great Dwarf. He was brave, passionate and strong. Bilbo was simply stronger, because the treasure meant little to nothing to him, in comparison to what it meant to the company of Dwarves, Thorin in particular.

Thorin isn´t so bad. He is a bit arrogant, and it´s ages since I read the book so maybe he´s worse than I think, but he never actually did anything mean or harmful, did he? Like, Saruman and Denethor and Wormtongue are worse!

i hated Wormtongue.

I even had a bizarre dream with Wormtongue as the villain in it!
(Want me to share that dream?)

i did like Thorin though.
