Because he's adding stuff from the appendices and, I believe, from the tales or silmarillion or something? Anyway, The Hobbit is just the main story, but he's filming other stories from Middle-Earth to include in it.
I don't remember what all he's filming, I just know he's doing a lot of background/history stuff and side stories. I said maybe Silmarillion or some of the Tales but I don't recall. You could always google it if you want to know for sure.
I was just wondering what backstuff he'd be using from TS because I don't really see them as being related in any way. I think I'm still pressed that they decided to go the 3-film route.
I don't think they'd be using The Silmarillion, but rather The Unfinished Tales (iirc, it talks about Gandalf's meeting with Thorin and how they decided that they were going to try to take back The Lonely Mountain).
Ooh, I hadn't realized that they were going to show more of the Dwarves' back story! I wonder if we're going to see Smaug attack the first time around.
Well I know what they look like, I was just wondering if the difference between them was that goblins = mountain dwellers, orc = Sauron's slaves, or if they were different... breeds? races? species? Not sure what word I'm looking for there.
I haven't thought about this in a long time so I may be wrong but I think they're definitely meant to be related, but not EXACTLY the same? Like I think goblins are basically smaller orcs that live in the mountains so they're smaller but I'd probably check the wikis just to be sure. It seems, from what I gathered, that it's like domestic dogs - same species, different breed?
I think they're the same race/species, but different breeds? If that makes sense? Apparently "goblin" was the term Tolkien used in The Hobbit (which was before he wrote The Lord of the Rings), but he switched to "Orc" for LOTR and only the Hobbit characters tend to refer to them as "goblins."
Well I originally thought that he referred to them as goblins and then switched to Orcs after he took the time to really flesh out his ideas later on with regards to their creation and their history. idk it's really not that important but I was just hoping to clarify.
What anolinde said, basically. I just conducted an extensive and highly scientific literary survey which consisted of me Ctrl + F my way through The Hobbit and LotR and I don't think there's really a difference. In LotR the word 'goblin' appears something like 13 times (but it refers to both Orcs from Moria and Uruk-Hai) but the word 'Orc' is used in the vast majority of cases. Meanwhile in The Hobbit the word 'goblin' is always used. No 'goblins' in the Silmarillion.
But just don't call goblins gnomes, and vice versa. They wouldn't like it.
Ok Martin Freeman just seems douchey in this article. I don't mind cussing, but really, is it necessary in every single one of your sentences Freeman? Surely you know that children love these stories and these characters and are going to be enjoying reading any articles they can get their little hands on. It just seems unnecessary and unprofessional given the wide and varied audience he is presenting to.
I hope there will be as many hot-ass men in this trilogy as there was in the first one. So far though, I haven't seen any which makes me sad... :( (except for Thranduil (possibly) and Luke Evans' character)...
