Guys, I think I’ve just discovered that we’re in the bad timeline, and the Universe had placed the clues right in front of us all along.

From my research I’ve deduced that our current, bad, timeline diverged from the correct timeline sometime in May 2010, when Guillermo del Toro exited the Hobbit film project. In the correct timeline del Toro would have directed the movies as intended and they would have been great, instead of the bloated messes full of CGI-slop that they turned out to be.

How do I know that del Toro was fated to be the true director of The Hobbit? It’s right there in his name!

Guillermo del Toro = William of the Bull = Bill Bull = BILBO! 🤯

IT WAS RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG!!!

I, 26yo, just watched the hobbit movies for the first time ever. Really liked them but I CANNOT for the life of me fathom why Tauriel would even consider Kili when Orlando Bloom in the Targaryen wig left his kingdom for her and is throwing himself in front of orcs for her. I’m just baffled.

Tolkien literally gave them the correct title with the title of the first chapter of the book. An Unexpected Party.

The movie climaxed with Thorin praising Bilbo for coming to the rescue. Prior to that Bilbo was treated as unreliable and a burden.

At the end of the movie Thorin finally viewed Bilbo as one of the party... unexpectedly.

Mine is "The Necromancer" by Rush. It's a masterclass in creating atmosphere through music. It goes from dread and foreboding to the intensity of combat to unexpected hope.
