Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: The dwarves' relationship with Bilbo shows steadily through the journey that they come to see him as one of their own, despite their initial doubt of him. KÃli was the first one to attack the trolls when they discover Bilbo and later on, Thorin had to pull him back when the trolls threatened to rip Bilbo apart. Most of the dwarves were quick to help Bilbo when he twice almost went over the edge of the mountain path they were taking. They're also very quick to push Bilbo towards the centre of the group whenever a dangerous situation presents itself. Later on, Bofur attempts to comfort Bilbo after Thorin harshly claims Bilbo wasn't one of them and then sincerely wishes Bilbo the best when he tries to leave. And finally Thorin after Bilbo saves his life and pulls him into a hug in his gratitude. | |

He gets thrown off his warg and pinned when KÃli shoots his mount, Dwalin bashes him in the head with his hammer, Bifur impales him, and Thorin jumps in to hack at him. His growls wind up alerting his comrades to where the Company is. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: Azog and Thorin's "rematch" has all the trappings of a standard Moment of Awesome, intense close-ups, Unflinching Walk, dramatic music, Thorin with an oaken branch as a shield just like their first fight, you name it, only for Azog to knock Thorin down and render him helpless with a single smack of his mace. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Sort of a Running Gag: Bilbo does this at Bag End as Dwarves keep pouring in. The Goblin King taunts Gandalf and is killed with ease. After the Dwarves survive their fall into the depths of the Goblin Kingdom (relatively) unscathed, Bofur points out "Well, that could've been worse"... and then the Goblin King's huge corpse crashes on top of them. Bilbo's statement at the end of An Unexpected Journey: "I really believe that the worst is behind us." Cue Smaug awakening.... | |

Motivational Lie | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_1d77dd02 | comment |
Motivational Lie: Subverted. Gandalf tries to give Bilbo a motivational speech by talking about a famous ancestor of Bilbo's, "Bullroarer" Took. At the end, Bilbo says that he thinks Gandalf made most of that up, and Gandalf shamelessly says that good stories can use a little embellishing every now and then. Ironically, while Gandalf's line can be seen as the filmmakers lampshading the Adaptation Expansion of the book, the story about Bullroarer Took inventing golf is not one of their additions. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The Great Goblin, only in comparison due to being a villain in both versions. The sole reason is his willingness to help kill Thorin for Azog even before the dwarves are caught in Goblintown, whereas in the book, he and the goblins believe the dwarves are spies and have come to attempt to destroy them. It doesn't help that Gandalf kills him in attempt to save the dwarves. Not to mention the goblins pursued Thorin's company to avenge their ruler, and even worse, later in the book after the slaying of Smaug, the goblins believed the dwarves, elves, and men to be more of a threat with Smaug's treasure, regardless of the three armies not exactly willing to share the treasure. In the first film, Gandalf's killing of the Great Goblin is justified as Azog and his own orcs are pursuing the dwarves since the beginning, and instead of the Goblintown goblins following Thorin's company, Azog's orcs continue to follow. | |

Ambiguously Human: Kili approaches this, being taller and lankier than the other dwarves and nearly clean-shaven (this in a race where even the females have beards!), despite even his brother Fili looking like a full-blooded dwarf. Thorin himself has fairly noble features (being a king, after all) except for his large nose and short stature. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The film provides an expanded role for Radagast, who is only mentioned by name in the novel, and whose presence in all of Tolkien's writings is very minor in general. Similarly, there is the addition of an extra villain in Azog, who was dead in the novel, to tie events together. A lot of backstory is depicted, including the splendour of the original Kingdom Under the Mountain, Smaug's attack on it, and the Battle of Azanulbizar, which are only mentioned in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings. Material is added that was inspired by "The Quest of Erebor" in Unfinished Tales, where Gandalf lays out much of the story's behind-the-scenes action to the rest of the Fellowship. | |

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Azog is completely absent from any promotional material for the first film despite being the main antagonist of the trilogy. The reason for this is that he went through several redesigns during the production and his look was finalized only two months before the premiere, after both main trailers have been released. | |

Cooking the Live Meal | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_263b090b | comment |
Cooking the Live Meal: After The Company is captured by a party of three Trolls, half of them are tied to a spit without being killed first, which means they end up shouting and complaining about the flames whilst the Trolls turn them over. That said, the Trolls are very divided on how exactly they should prepare their dinner. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Gandalf can't quite remember the names of the blue wizards. They're Alatar and Pallando, or perhaps Morinehtar ("Darkness-slayer") and Rómestámo ("East-helper"). The names are given in Literature/{{Unfinished Tales|of Númenor and Middle Earth}} and The History of Middle-earth, but Christopher Tolkien has refused to sell the movie rights to those. However, the film actually gets away with naming them the Blue Wizards since their colour was only revealed in Unfinished Tales. When Radagast tells Gandalf about the spiders that have "recently appeared" in Mirkwood, he says something to the effect of "Some spawn of Ungoliant, or I am not a wizard." With respect to the following film, Smaug isn't surprised by Bilbo's presence in the Lonely Mountain and they have a calm, though tense, conversation rather than him realizing that a piece of the treasure has been taken and yelling, "Thieves! Fire! Murder!" So Radagast yells it when he first rides up to Thorin's Company instead. The Great Goblin bears a strong resemblance to his animated counterpart. Also, his followers resemble their counterparts from the 2003 video game. In the extended edition, Bofur sings part of the "Cow Jumped over the Moon" that Frodo sings in the Lord of the Rings book at the Prancing Pony. Bilbo says to Elrond, "Go not the Elves for counsel for they will say both yes and no", a line Frodo says to Gildor Inglorion in The Fellowship of the Ring'' In some shots, it looks like Glamdring and Orcrist glow, which they did in the books. While the sun was clearly rising on its own, the way Gandalf breaks the stone in two to expose the trolls to sunlight gives the impression that he summoned the sun like in the 1977 animated film. The first few notes of the film's version of "Misty Mountains Cold" is very similar to the same piece from the animated film. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: Lots in Bag End during the party. One involves FÃli and KÃli trying to work out how to operate the tap on a beer barrel, then apparently giving up and just bringing the barrel itself. When Bilbo suggests that the Trolls skin the Dwarves, Thorin is yelling and flailing around in anger, along with the others (who are all lying on their backs aside from FÃli, who is desperately trying to turn over). After the Dwarves light their campfire in Rivendell, Bofur cooks a sausage over the fire. Next to him, Bifur is doing the same thing, but instead of a sausage, Bifur is attempting to cook a large piece of lettuce. Then, when Bofur throws the sausage to Bombur and causes Bombur's bench to collapse, all the Dwarves are doubled over with laughter except for Bifur, who is concentrating on his piece of lettuce as though he's determined to roast the heck out of it. Óin's Ear Trumpet is stomped on and crushed flat when The Company is captured in Goblin-Town. Later, after they escape, he's shown using it anyway, and later has forced it back open. | |

| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_2f509897 | comment |
Cavalry Refusal: In the flashbacks, the Elves refused to help the Dwarves, both against Smaug in Erebor and against the Orcs in Moria. This led to the grudge of the Dwarves towards Elves. The White Council was about to be a third one, but the Dwarves (for good reason) left before they could refuse to help. Thorin states that the Dwarves of The Iron Hills have refused to aid The Company in retaking Erebor. | |

Kick the Dog: As the goblins confiscate the Dwarves' weapons, one of them snatches Óin's earhorn and stomps it flat. One from the extended edition: when Thranduil comes to pay homage to Thrór, King Under the Mountain, the latter holds out a box containing the White Gems of Lasgalen, a memento of Thranduil's late wife. Before Thranduil can touch the gems, the box snaps shut. The look on Thranduil's face strongly suggests that this could have been the real cause of his later rift with the Dwarves. | |

Actor Allusion: Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie plays an elf named Lindir. Lindir is Elvish for "singer" (a character of this name does appear in The Fellowship of the Ring.) Also a reference to the unnamed elf (and Memetic Bystander) McKenzie played in The Fellowship of the Ring. If not for that, he probably wouldn't have a role (let alone a name) in The Hobbit. | |

Face Death with Dignity: The Great Goblin, whose reaction to having his stomach cut open (after a short scream, admittedly — more like an "ouch", really) is to nod and calmly declare "That'll do it."

Adaptational Comic Relief: Radagast in The Lord of the Rings is portrayed as a simple wizard who lives in the forest with animals rather than help the people of Middle-Earth. Saruman considers him to be a fool for this, although his personality traits are unmentioned. The Hobbit film portrays the wizard as a Cloud Cuckoolander who has odd habits such as keeping birds under his hat making Sauruman's disdain somewhat understandable. Bofur is considered the comic relief among the Company, while his book counterpart was a Flat Character that had only two lines. The same could also be said of Ori and several other dwarves. | |

Take That, Audience!: In one scene, Gandalf recites a story of Bullroarer Took's defeat of the Orc-King Golfimbul (in which he knocked the orc's head off and it went down a rabbit hole, inventing the game of golf).note Gandalf doesn't mention Golfimbul's name in the film, making this moment both less witty and less silly than in book canon. Bilbo mentions that some of that story has to be made up. Gandalf counters that all good stories deserve embellishment. This same claim could be applied to the film adaptation, which embellished the original book to make three films. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |

Ungrateful Bastard: The Dwarves in Rivendell. Elrond and his soldiers save them from an Orc ambush and let them stay in his house and give them food (even after Thorin is rude to him and he first sees them as an armed group on his doorstep). In response, they ridicule the food he offers, the music, break some of his furniture (Bombur's table scene), make a mess (in the extended edition), and then leave without even a "thank you". When Elrond helps Thorin, Gandalf had to strong-arm him into accepting Elrond's help and Thorin proves stubborn and unwilling every step of the way. Even with Thorin's anti-Elf grudge, that's petty. | |

Scenery Porn: The landscape shots of New Zealand are as beautiful as the ones in The Lord of the Rings. There's a reason why Peter Jackson wanted to keep filming there. The CGI ones deserve a mention — the sweeping shots of Erebor may be the first time this trope was pulled off underground! Except for Moria, which was actually BIGGER. If you look closely, you can see similar designs on the pillars. This makes sense since the Dwarves had to leave Moria because of the Balrog and moved to Erebor. | |

Gold Fever | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_4a2059bf | comment |
Gold Fever: Thrór, king of Erebor and Thorin's grandfather, is shown in flashbacks to be so obsessed with gold that it's even described to be a "sickness", and his obsession with filling his treasure rooms with enough gold to build a castle out of it is implied to have attracted Smaug to Erebor in the first place. | |

Big Good | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_4a852458 | comment |
Big Good: Although the White Council is supposed to be this - watching over Middle-Earth and keeping it safe from evil, particularly that of Morgoth, Sauron and their deputies—it is really Galadriel who deserves the title. Saruman is shown to be already succumbing to his own ego and bias, dismissing those he thinks are beneath him like Radagast, and ignoring theories that clash with his world view, while Elrond and Gandalf despite having their independent viewpoints both take their cues from Galadriel—Elrond because she's a close relative, mother figure and his mother-in-law and Gandalf because he is her old friend and mentor. Galadriel is not only constantly watching over Middle-Earth—diligently noticing even small things—but she cares about the fate of Middle-Earth and the creatures in it, having the perspective, wisdom and power to guide its destiny in the right direction. | |

Improvised Weapon | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: There's a reason Thorin is called Oakenshield. By the time of his rematch with Azog, he has fashioned an actual armoured gauntlet, reinforced with iron fittings, out of that same oak branch. While trapped in a tree, Gandalf ignites several pine cones to use them as impromptu firebombs. The dwarves break off a railing when being chased by goblins and use it to swat them away. Shortly after that they pull down a ladder and use its steps to grab goblins by their necks. | |

Out of the Frying Pan | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_53fd0a77 | comment |
Out of the Frying Pan: The party escapes from the Goblins of The Misty Mountains, only to get cornered by a worse group of orc warg-riders. Furthermore, they climb trees to escape and use fire to keep the Orcs and Wargs at bay — which backfires and leaves most of them dangling from a tree over a cliff's edge. Gandalf and Thorin even lampshade it, saying, "Out of the frying pan ... and into the fire," in a nod to the chapter of the book named after the phrase. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: While the film is beefed up from the novel in many ways, there are other sections of the narrative which were simplified for the transition to the screen, or other odd details that were left out entirely: Bilbo's family history from the very beginning of the novel is omitted. Occasional descriptive details along the journey are also left out. Among them is that shortly after leaving the Shire, the company passes through the Lone-lands, where sinister-looking castles are mentioned, and there is a brief segment where one of the ponies runs off and Fili and Kili nearly drown in a river trying to get it back. Likewise, parts of the adventure inside the Misty Mountains are condensed, such as Bilbo spending more time wandering through the tunnels before and after meeting Gollum, and a longer segment with him trying to evade the goblins' notice. He spends a bit more time with Gollum too, featuring a few extra riddles that aren't in the film. After the company escapes from the mountain in the novel, they journey further on and some time passes before the goblin and warg attack. Whereas in the film, Azog's forces attack them almost immediately after they make it out of the mountain. The eagles have a larger role in the novel. Not only are they shown with the ability to fully speak, but after rescuing Thorin and company, the eagles take them to their eyrie and let them stay the night, and then the following morning the eagles carry them further on before departing. Their leader, the Lord of the Eagles, is not identified in the film, and his dialogue with Gandalf is removed. | |

Big Brother Instinct: Bofur appears to develop one towards Bilbo, who despite being an adult is the smallest and least experienced when it comes to fighting, pushing Bilbo to the centre of the group whenever a dangerous situation occurs. FÃli towards KÃli, as well, which makes sense since FÃli is KÃli's older brother. Thorin frantically calls out for FÃli when it appears he's been killed in the stone giants' crossfire (Which also makes sense, considering FÃli and KÃli are his nephews), and he's very quick to intervene when the Goblin King orders his minions to start torturing the youngest dwarf (Ori). | |

In addition to the Goblins of Goblin-Town trying to collect it, Azog happily sends one of his own Orcs to bring him Thorin's head after he's already worn Thorin down with his mace and his Warg. The Great Goblin himself lampshades it when confronting Thorin and revealing Azog's still alive to him. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Radagast the Brown doesn't do much in The Fellowship of the Ring besides telling Gandalf that Saruman wanted to see him and later sending the eagles to save him. In The Hobbit, he leads a pack of warg-riding orcs on a merry chase on a sled pulled by giant rabbits, heals a hedgehog whilst driving away giant spiders, and disarms the Witch-King of Angmar. While the dwarves and Bilbo are (or in Bilbo's case, become) reasonably badass in the original books, the dwarves are more competent in some ways in the film than in the book (fighting the trolls rather than all but Thorin being captured by them by surprise), and Bilbo shows his competence and toughness earlier on (whereas in the book he's basically The Load until they enter Mirkwood). | |

Arc Words | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: "Home is behind. The world [is] ahead." Originally taken from a song in The Lord of the Rings (the song, called "A Walking Song," was written by Bilbo in the book and sung by Pippin to Denethor in the film version) but thematically appropriate for the theme of this film too. | |

However, in the larger context of the Middle-Earth narrative, this will come back to haunt Bilbo and his family 60 years later and serve as one of the catalysts of the War of the Ring. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_7febc23b | comment |
When Bilbo greeted him with a "Good morning", Gandalf lampshaded this trope by whimsically questioning the exact meaning of that phrase. Is Bilbo having a good morning, is he saying it is a good morning no matter what does Gandalf thinks, is he wishing for Gandalf to have a good morning or is it a morning to be good on? Bilbo simply replied: "All of them at once". | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Saruman's list of reasons he disdains Radagast's (alleged) habit of eating mushrooms ends with how they stain his teeth. This is an allusion to a similar conversation Saruman had with Gandalf in the Fellowship of the Ring film, where he accused Gandalf of having grown "too fond of the halflings' weed." It may also allude to the books (Unfinished Tales), where Saruman does scold Gandalf for smoking while with the White Council. | |

All the riddles played between Bilbo and Gollum rely on this. Justified, as riddles by their very definition rely on the Exact Words of their formulation. It took a bit further in the last one. Impatient that Bilbo was taking so long, Gollum demands that Bilbo quickly ask him a question. While thinking, Bilbo muses to himself "What have I got in my pocket?". Gollum mistakes it for a riddle and complains before Bilbo, using Gollum's earlier words, retorts he is asking a question and decides to use that as his riddle. | |

As You Know | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_9843be73 | comment |
As You Know: One of the trolls chastises the others saying that he does not want sunlight to turn him into stone. Might or might not be in play too when Gandalf talks to Bilbo about one of Bilbo's ancestors. After making clear in the prologue that he's writing his account expressly for the edification of his nephew Frodo, Bilbo nonetheless opens the main portion of his narrative with Tolkien's passage, nearly verbatim note Tolkien has "Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." Jackson has "Not a nasty, dirty wet hole full of worms and oozy smells. this was a hobbit-hole and that means good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home.", describing what a hobbit hole is like for someone who's never heard of them—but Frodo would be well familiar with hobbit holes and especially this particular hobbit hole, given that he has been living there. This is compounded by the scene in The Fellowship of the Ring where he also writes and narrates the "Concerning Hobbits" prologue from The Lord of the Rings in the first person, again as though for the benefit of non-Hobbits. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The movie opens with Bilbo blowing an uncannily perfect smoke ring. That is all. Thrór's case of Gold Fever serves as this, as Thorin will come down with a similar "ailment" after The Lonely Mountain is reclaimed from Smaug, which stops him from negotiating with the men of Laketown and the Wood Elves (although the interracial tension and being a prisoner of the Elves earlier probably didn't help). Bilbo considers the rumors that he has "tunnels full of gold" silly, as he only has a single chest that "still smells of Troll". Glóin, Nori and Bofur are shown burying a box of treasure taken from the troll hoard (which itself foreshadows Bilbo carrying it in Five Armies). Gandalf lights his pipe with a Finger-Snap Lighter and later uses the same effect to set pine cones on fire, throwing them at the Wargs. When Gandalf presents Bilbo with his Elvish sword, he tells Bilbo that true courage comes from knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare a life. Bilbo contemplates killing Gollum but decides not to. This is a turning point, as he then shows considerable courage against Azog. Thorin's father Thráin went missing but was never confirmed dead, and Azog mentions having encountered him. Gandalf found Thráin in Dol Guldur, where he had been captured, tortured, and driven mad. Radagast's home in Greenwood is attacked by giant spiders. Guess what's waiting for the Company when they arrive in the same forest, now named Mirkwood. Thorin and Gandalf have a brief argument over whether or not to go to Rivendell. Later, while fleeing pursuing wargs, Thorin loudly wonders where Gandalf is leading them. After seeing Glamdring and Orcrist, Bilbo wonders if his own Elvish sword has a name, and Balin tells him swords gain names depending on their deeds. "Sting" gets its name from slaying the Spiders in Mirkwood. In the extended edition, KÃli takes an interest in the elves at Rivendell. He later develops a crush on Tauriel after arriving in Mirkwood. Annoyed at Thorin's refusal to confide in Elrond, Gandalf mutters that Thorin's pride will be his downfall. The Battle of the Five Armies, during which Thorin dies, is directly a result of his pride and greed. Elrond helps Thorin read the secret runes on the map, only visible by the light of the moon. In the next film, it is the light of the moon which winds up being "the last light" on Durin's Day that reveals the secret door, not the setting sun. As Elrond reads the moon runes on the map, he mentions a door appearing "when the thrush knocks". In the final scene the camera follows a thrush as it flies towards Erebor, then starts knocking snails against a rock. The noise wakes Smaug. The musical cue for the Ring Bilbo finds. Though even Gandalf doesn't know its true nature yet, he senses something sinister. The odd way that The Ring behaves when dropped — it seems far heavier than it ought to be (an effect memorable in the LOTR films which was achieved using magnets). A subtle one: the rock the eagles leave the dwarves on at the end is shaped like a bear's head. It's called Carrock and is where they will meet the skin-changer Beorn. The final shots show the camera panning up one of the dwarven statues to a cliffside clearing where a thrush knocks on the wall with a nut. The statues turn out to be a makeshift staircase up to the clearing, which is where the secret entrance is. The thrush itself plays a role in helping Bilbo find the keyhole and also Bard slay Smaug. | |

Naked People Are Funny: In the extended cut, while the Dwarves are staying at Rivendell and generally making a nuisance of themselves, Elrond's aide worriedly asks how long they'll be staying. Elrond replies he isn't sure, and then suddenly both Elves react to something offscreen — cut to the Dwarves swimming naked in a big fountain and slapping each other's asses with rolled-up towels. | |

She's not bad for someone who has been in Middle-Earth two full Ages longer than the wizards (though along with the other wizards, Gandalf is actually older than Galadriel and even the universe). | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Saruman's appearance plays this for all it's worth since he declares that Sauron couldn't possibly be coming back... even though he himself has suspected it and at the time of The Hobbit was trying to locate the One Ring so he could usurp Sauron. Furthermore, when Bilbo asserts "I really believe that the worst is behind us." at the end of the film, we are then privy to a shot of Smaug briefly awakening from his slumber (due to a thrush knocking an acorn on the side of Erebor, said thrush being said to be a good omen, no less). | |

Near-Villain Victory | |

Near-Villain Victory: Thorin sees Azog in person for the first time since their old battle, and charges him. Powerful elven sword in one hand, a fashioned branch armguard in the other, awesome music in the background along with a Battle Amongst the Flames theme going on, he prepares to finish the fight they started... and he's laid out in seconds by Azog's warg (who had an advantage in height, powerful legs/jaws, and a big advantage in mobility), allowing Azog a staggering hit just as he's getting back up, then gets bitten by the Warg and can only manage a glancing blow that sends him sprawling heavily. Only Bilbo's intervention saves him from himself. | |

Chekhov's Skill: The game the dwarves play with Bilbo's dishes seems like just a bit of harmless fun at Bilbo's expense. But it also serves to establish their skill at passing items between each other during frenetic situations, which they put to use during their escape in the barrels and the Battle of Five Armies when they pass weapons between one another in the midst of battle. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: The Great Goblin completely freaks out the moment he identifies the Elven swords. Ori's expression when the Great Goblin orders his cronies to kill the Dwarves "starting with the youngest". Elrond and Galadriel have the equivalent reaction when they see the Witch-King's sword. Bilbo when he sees Sting is glowing blue and remembers what that means... Also, when he realizes that Gollum figured out where his 'Precious' is. Blink and you miss it, but at Rivendell, when Gandalf meets Galadriel, he closes his eyes and puts on a VERY fake-looking smile when seeing Saruman has come to check up on him. | |

Evil Overlord | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_b8dde2 | comment |
The flashback of Azog's defeat bears a strong resemblance to Sauron's defeat in The Battle of The Last Alliance: the good forces are almost overrun and their king is struck with fear upon seeing the Evil Overlord's literal Foe-Tossing Charge (also, both Sauron and Azog are using a mace). The evil leader then kills the king effortlessly. The king's heir (Isildur and Thorin, respectively) first has a Heroic BSoD and then steps up to avenge his father/grandfather, is almost defeated himself and with one last desperate attack cuts his opponent's hand. This seals the Evil Overlord's defeat and turns the tide of the battle. | |

Adaptational Timespan Change | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_c45e0fea | comment |
Adaptational Timespan Change: In the book, Thorin and Balin were young when Smaug attacked Erebor (24 and 7 respectively), and it's another 174 years before the dwarves set out to reclaim it. Here, the two look about the same age during the two events, so much less time has passed. It's implied to be sixty years ago, since it's said that the dragon was last seen at that time.note In the book he was seen several times since then, as he ventured out for a while, but that's not mentioned here. The scenes with the goblins and with Gollum originally took place one after the other, with many hours in-between, while here they take place at the exact same time. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Braveheart in the Nanduhirion scene when the dwarves all charge at once. Even to The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Here, Jackson shouts out to himself as Thorin makes his badass entrance down a tree trunk to face Azog. The falling tree sequence some minutes before is also suspiciously familiar for all Tintin viewers (as the falling masts of the Unicorn). Also Asterix with Bombur being similar to Obelix, envisioned with a big belly, no beard, whiskers, and long red braids, and for extra points, someone stops him from drinking directly from the cauldron. Elrond says the moon runes with the same (or similar) intonation as the Elrond in the Rankin-Bass film, seen here. In the extended version, Bilbo and Elrond have a little chat where they use lines that belong respectively to Frodo and Gildor in The Lord of the Rings Thorin's blade being named Deathless, a fitting name for the weapon of the descendent of Durin I, father of the Dwarven race. Also, Graham McTavish gave the idea of naming Dwalin's axes Grasper and Keeper, as a homage to Emily Brontë's dogs. On several occasions, the Orc warlord Azog gives of a cry of WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!! One of the livestock Bilbo dashes past as he leaves Bag End is a pig that's been harnessed to pull farm equipment. | |

| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_c9d80884 | comment |
Scheherezade Gambit: Bilbo keeps Gollum from eating him by proposing to Gollum to play a game of riddles. Also when Bilbo stalls the trolls hoping for the sun to come up. Attempted by the Dwarves in Goblin-Town to protect Thorin. The Great Goblin puts the kibosh on that, though. | |

Hollywood Darkness: In The Misty Mountains. When the Dwarves are camping on the Goblins' front porch, it's night, there are clouds outside, no fires are allowed, they're not in direct sight of the entrance, and there isn't an opening above them. However, it's as light as any normal cloudy day — brighter even than the mountainside was minutes before. Gollum's cave is also surprisingly well-lit, although we do see a streak of light shining on to the spot where he plays the riddle game with Bilbo. | |

Series Continuity Error: In the Extended Edition, Smaug is retconned into being a wyvern to reflect his design from the subsequent films, but the drawing of him on Gandalf's map of Erebor still depicts him with the four legs and two wings he originally possessed. Gandalf tells Bilbo that Elvish blades glow when orcs and goblins are nearby, but Orcrist and Glamdring don't glow at all while Azog's scouts are chasing the Dwarves and Gandalf. | |

Dude, Not Funny!: In-universe example where Thorin is quick to sternly lecture KÃli who had casually joked about orcs to a nervous Bilbo. It is understandable why Thorin doesn't think it's something to be joked about since he had seen many of his kin killed by orcs, including his grandfather. In fact, if you look closely you'll see that Thorin actually starts awake when he hears Bilbo say "Orcs?", and he looks around expecting an attack. | |

Cassandra Truth: Both Gandalf and Radagast are convinced The Necromancer is Sauron, or somebody as dangerous as him. However, some members of The White Council are either not convinced (Saruman) or don't see a threat (Elrond) to do anything about it. Averted with Galadriel, who senses that something genuinely sinister is going on and puts her faith in Gandalf. The books let us know that by this time Saruman was actively looking for the Ring himself, which is why he is pushing the Ring-went-down-to-the-Sea hypothesis. | |

Developer's Foresight: When first discovered, Sting lacks the Elvish inscription seen in The Lord of the Rings, which reads, "Sting is my name, I am the spider's bane." In the film, Bilbo is told that swords get names based on their deeds, and his "letter opener" blade hasn't seen battle. Clearly Bilbo had the inscription added after he named Sting in Mirkwood. | |

Writing Around Trademarks: When telling Bilbo about the other wizards, Gandalf mentions the two Blue Wizards, but claims to be unable to remember their names. Their names are Alatar and Pallando, but the filmmakers do not have the rights to Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth or The Silmarillion, and as such they cannot be legally named. This also resulted in the backstory of the Nazgûl being rewritten. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Elrond reveals that the map Thorin has contains moon runes that can only be read on a certain day in the year — and only if the moon is in the exact same phase as it was when they were written, meaning that the opportunity to read them comes only one night every thirty years. It just so happens that Thorin's Company arrives in Rivendell on that exact same day with the moon in the correct phase. Elrond even lampshades this, saying that fate must be driving their quest. | |

Drugs Are Bad: Saruman's chief opposition to Radagast's evidence seems to be all the mushrooms he ingests.

Continuity Snarl | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: In the prologue, Bilbo sees Frodo off when he goes to the West Farthing Woods, and is told it's to surprise Gandalf when he arrives. However in Fellowship of the Ring Bilbo is clearly not expecting Gandalf, and in the Extended Edition he calls for Frodo to answer the door, unaware that Frodo had left. There are possible explanation for each, however. ExplanationsFirst, Bilbo had forgotten that today was his milestone 111th birthday earlier in An Unexpected Journey, meaning he's becoming a bit forgetful. Second, in Battle of the Five Armies it's revealed that Bilbo was admiring the One Ring before Gandalf knocked, meaning he was in no mood to be interrupted by a knock on the door yet again. The early events of this film (Bag End, Bilbo joining the Company, the trolls encounter, and Rivendell) all contradict how Bilbo describes these events in the Red Book, which can be read in Fellowship of the Ring when Frodo skims it while in Rivendell. The "out" is that Bilbo may still not be telling all of the truth, as his drawing of Gandalf's sword, Glamdring, does not at all match its appearance in The Lord of the Rings films. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: Even with an almost fully armed Company of 15, with many capable fighters, they are not going to win when the odds are either something like 5-to-1 plus the disadvantages of Beast of Battle (against Orcs) or 1000-to-1 (against Goblins). Thus rather than continue fighting against large enemies and overwhelming numbers, they are forced to retreat more than once. | |

Toyed with when Gandalf meets Bilbo and their conversation about the meaning of "Good morning."

Call-Forward | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: The Extended Edition offers a reason why the woodland elves don't trust the dwarves: before Smaug came, Thranduil paid Thrór homage in Erebor. During this visit, Thrór dangled a necklace belonging to Thranduil's late wife in front of him, and then refused to give it back to him (allegedly due to not receiving their rightful pay). Thranduil's expression at this makes it clear that this was the beginning of their rift, from his side. Dwarven women do in fact have beards, as described by Gimli in The Two Towers. They're just softer and wispier◊ (however, they could hardly be mistaken for Dwarf men unless one were being especially ignorant, as Legolas will in Desolation of Smaug). Thranduil's reluctance to aid the dwarves in fighting Smaug shows that he is no lover of hopeless battles; a trait that may have rubbed off on his son Legolas, judging by his own despair at the seeming hopelessness of defending Helm's Deep against Saruman's army. Thranduil's actions in the prologue establish the reason why the Erebor dwarves still harbor a deep distrust of elves (woodland elves in particular) many decades later in Fellowship of the Ring. In particular, it explains Gimli's immediate dislike of Legolas at the Council of Elrond in Fellowship, since Legolas is Thranduil's son and Gimli is Glóin's son. For his part Legolas is much cooler about it, having already simmered down somewhat over his journey in The Hobbit trilogy. The Hobbiton framing device concludes with Frodo leaving to surprise Gandalf, which he does at the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring. It also calls forward to when Gandalf actually arrives at Bag End at the end of Battle of the Five Armies, which also refers to Fellowship. Bilbo and Frodo are shown preparing for the birthday party later that night, seen in Fellowship of the Ring. Balin carries the big Book of Mazarbûl that the Fellowship finds in Moria, recording the last moments of the colony. Glóin notably carries the "walking stick" axe that he holds at the Council of Elrond and Gimli will later inherit (since he broke his own attacking the Ring). Gandalf has trouble with the chandelier, exactly as he does in Fellowship of the Ring (although he doesn't knock into the beam... this time). In Fellowship, Bilbo offers Gandalf some wine, but Gandalf would prefer to have "just tea". During the unexpected party, Dori offers Gandalf camomile tea, but Gandalf prefers wine! During the unexpected party, when the dwarves' arguments that Gandalf chose wrong by Bilbo start to heat up, Gandalf berates them by standing up, with his shadow filling the room, as his voice gains a threatening tone (the look on Bilbo's face here is priceless), just like he did in Fellowship, when Bilbo accuses him of wanting the Ring for himself. After Bilbo officially joins the Company and they leave the Shire, Gandalf tells Bilbo "Home is now behind you. The world is ahead"; In The Return of the King Pippin sings a song that starts with a very similar phrase to Denethor, and in the books the song is attributed to Bilbo. The flashback of Azog's defeat bears a strong resemblance to Sauron's defeat in The Battle of The Last Alliance: the good forces are almost overrun and their king is struck with fear upon seeing the Evil Overlord's literal Foe-Tossing Charge (also, both Sauron and Azog are using a mace). The evil leader then kills the king effortlessly. The king's heir (Isildur and Thorin, respectively) first has a Heroic BSoD and then steps up to avenge his father/grandfather, is almost defeated himself and with one last desperate attack cuts his opponent's hand. This seals the Evil Overlord's defeat and turns the tide of the battle. Gandalf splitting the boulder into two to defeat the trolls is a call back to what he did with the Balrog in the Fellowship of the Ring by splitting the Bridge of Khazad-dum. The three trolls turn to stone in the exact same positions we see them in during Fellowship. Interestingly they are visibly arguing, with one pointing down (at what was evidently the dwarves they were discussing eating), which made sense as it's how the scene happened in the book. In the movie, the scene is played differently as Gandalf doesn't pit them against one another, yet as they turn to stone their postures shift to have them face one another and for one to point downwards with his index finger, the implication being that they were going to argue despite being turned to stone already. Gandalf also cracks the boulder at the crack of dawn. "At dawn, look to the east" ring a bell? When Gandalf is explaining to Bilbo about true courage being knowing when to spare a life, the music is a rendition of the music played in Moria when Gandalf and Frodo are discussing the incident where Bilbo spares Gollum's life, which is where Bilbo applied Gandalf's advice, and it appears again for that moment in An Unexpected Journey. As Gandalf says in The Fellowship of the Ring: The warg riders' meeting place with Azog to tell him that they've lost Thorin's Company is Weathertop. When Radagast goes to investigate Dol Guldur, he is attacked by the Witch-King of Angmar's ghostly human form. According to the director's commentary, he uses the very same Morgul blade that he stabs Frodo with 60 years later, although how it comes back into his possession is never explained. When Radagast spots the Necromancer's shadowy form, the camera employs the Vertigo Effect, which was previously done early in the first LOTR film when the Nazgûl are approaching the Hobbits on the Shire road, and again in the third one when Frodo gazes into Shelob's Lair. All three times are linked to an evil presence. The elven cavalry's trumpet sounds the same as the one Haldir's reinforcements use at the Battle of Helm's Deep. When the Company fall into the hidden passage to Rivendell, Thorin pulls an arrow from the dead Orc that has fallen after them, looks at it, and says "Elves". Much in the same way, when the Fellowship enters Moria, Legolas pulls an arrow from a Dwarven corpse, scrutinizes it, and announces "Orcs". In the Extended Edition, there's a sequence of Bilbo quietly exploring Rivendell and, aside from a moment when he sees a painting of the battle against Sauron (in particular his Ring), it's very clear from his body language and expression that he finds the place delightful. When Elrond comes upon him admiring the view, he promises the Hobbit that he's welcome to stay there if he wants. Many years later, Bilbo would wind up spending the last years of his life in Rivendell after leaving The Shire behind. Saruman comments disparagingly on Radagast's fondness for mushrooms, much like his comment in Fellowship of the Ring about Gandalf's "love of the halflings' leaf". During the same conversation, Saruman's comment to Gandalf - "Always you must meddle" - has a strong ring of familiarity towards GrÃÂma Wormtongue, who refers to Gandalf as a meddler. Bilbo's sparing of Gollum's life is of course Calling Forward to when Frodo does the same at Emyn Muil. Both are critical parts of the story as they set in motion a chain of events that allows for the destruction of the One Ring. KÃli deflecting Goblin arrows with his sword (and looking surprised it worked) echoes Aragorn's Throw It In! moment in Fellowship where he deflects Lurtz's thrown knife.invoked The Ring pops onto Bilbo's finger exactly as it did (or will) onto Frodo's. Gandalf catches a glimpse of Bilbo pocketing the ring, setting up his knowing that Bilbo has it in The Lord of the Rings. Similarly, Bilbo keeps the ring in the same pocket as he does in Fellowship of the Ring (the front left pocket of his waistcoat). Gandalf calls on the eagles through the help of a moth/butterfly... again. The original trilogy is the Trope Namer for Kneel Before Frodo - Bilbo earns a big hug from Thorin, rightful king of the greatest dwarf civilization after Moria, acknowledging this. Even the movie posters have gotten in on this. This◊ poster is a callback to a Frodo poster◊ for The Fellowship of the Ring, which is also referenced in this Japanese poster◊. | |

Exact Words | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: All the riddles played between Bilbo and Gollum rely on this. Justified, as riddles by their very definition rely on the Exact Words of their formulation. It took a bit further in the last one. Impatient that Bilbo was taking so long, Gollum demands that Bilbo quickly ask him a question. While thinking, Bilbo muses to himself "What have I got in my pocket?". Gollum mistakes it for a riddle and complains before Bilbo, using Gollum's earlier words, retorts he is asking a question and decides to use that as his riddle. During the unexpected party, Gandalf's drink request is "a little red wine". Dori brings him his wine in a ludicrously tiny glass, much to Gandalf's disappointment. When Bilbo greeted him with a "Good morning", Gandalf lampshaded this trope by whimsically questioning the exact meaning of that phrase. Is Bilbo having a good morning, is he saying it is a good morning no matter what does Gandalf thinks, is he wishing for Gandalf to have a good morning or is it a morning to be good on? Bilbo simply replied: "All of them at once". When Bilbo greets Balin with a "Good Evening", the dwarf treats it as a commentary on the night itself, adding that "although it might rain later". | |

Big Damn Heroes: Gandalf pulls his blindingly flashy entrance just in time to save the dwarves from the goblins. Just as an Orc is about to cut Thorin's head off, Bilbo tackles the Orc and stabs him. Bilbo then becomes cornered by Azog's wargriders after he saves Thorin; cue the other dwarves coming in to save his ass and the eagles coming in to save theirs. Elrond and his riders inadvertently saving Thorin and Co. from the warg-riders at the Hidden Pass. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Radagast the Brown is an odd case: he was in the book version of The Lord of the Rings, but his role in the film version of The Fellowship of the Ring was filled by a moth Gandalf used to summon Gwaihir, Lord of Eagles. The Witch-King of Angmar, in his spectral form, tries to kill Radagast. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it instant when we catch a glimpse of Girion, firing ballast bolts at Smaug when the Dragon's attacking Dale. Both Bolg and the bearded jailer Orc from Dul Guldur (himself an early design of Bolg) show up for blink-and-you'll-miss-them cameos at the Battle of Azanulbizar. Dwalin beats them up just after Thorin cuts off Azog's arm. Bolg is lacking the scars and metal plates in his head, suggesting that he got those because of Dwalin's attack. Frodo appears early in the film, asking Bilbo about his book. Saruman comes to the aid of Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel in their fight against The Necromancer. Galadriel is in Rivendell when The Company arrives and manages to fend off The Necromancer at the cost of a great deal of energy. | |

Crowd Song: "Blunt the Knives" — Justified in that it comes across as a drinking song that the Dwarves all know and adapt to include Bilbo's name. "Misty Mountains" — In this case, it's a song that the Dwarves know by heart because it's a poignant part of their oral history. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: Radagast's arrival to Rhudaur to warn Gandalf and give him the sword is quite jarring for both geographical and chronological matters. Though it's never cleared where he crossed The Misty Mountains by nor how much time it took for him, the only possible option is that he entered by The High Pass (the place where The Company firstly intended to go before being captured by the Goblins), which is quite a feat given that it is still very away from Rhosgobel or Dol Guldur. Justified in that he probably made it in time thanks to the speed of his bunny-sled, which had been shown as incredibly fast and reliable. | |

Adaptational Context Change | |
| The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey / int_f33ff01c | comment |
Adaptational Context Change: Gandalf's delivery of the line "I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means... me!" Unlike the original book and prior adaptations, Gandalf pauses before finishing his sentence, as though he forgot what his name actually meant before settling with "me". This gives him a more fallible image that isn't usually this apparent. | |
