Why was the balcony in Rivendell in Hobbit size?
Why was the balcony in Rivendell in Hobbit size?
pure unfiltered autism
mistake by the movie creators, you just owned them
rivendell is supposed to be the closes thing to heaven on earth, in the hobbit they explain that it is basically an esoteric place with elfs dancing and laughing, it probably shapes itself to its visitors
They're tax policy was insufficient and could only afford small balconies
bet those set designers feel pretty fucking dumb right now haha
WTF I hate the fellowship of the ring now.
yfw this is a bigger more unexplained plot hole than the Eagles
Welldone OP welldone... HOWEVER....
The student becomes the master
Was about to rewatch Fellowship for the 15th time, but fuck it. This ruins everything
good question. that balcony barrier probably would've only gone up to the elves' knees. rip HACKSON
> Not having knee high fencing.
Manlets. When will they learn?
>esoteric
>it probably shapes itself to its visitors
That's a fucking stretch.
The Elves made a hobbit sized section of housing for Bilbo to live in
Rivendell had nice, cosy, Hobbit-sized rooms. They were always proud to cater to little folk.
Rivendell is a meeting point, no? It would make sense that they have one section sized for dwarfs and hobbits who are staying there to do business.
omg piter jacksoon btfo!
that'a the way heaven works
I don't wanna go to the same heaven as my mom wants to go, my heaven must have doritos and chairs for my size, if it doesn't then it is hell
small fences are common in rich countries motherfucker
Why is there a Protestant church back there?
rivendell isn't a country
WTF someone sue Peter Jackson
There was a time were elven-dwarf friendship was in all time high in that region, hence the gates of moria being elvish
Elves can fly. Why the fuck would they need a safe balcony anyway?
>Sloth sinner
>ever going to heaven
That's not heaven work in any abrahamic religion
Elrond was a liberal faggot and had smaller rooms built so any Hobbit or Dwarf that stayed would not feel out of place
I'm never watching LOTR again
ummm no sweety
elves rarely interacted with outsiders, let alone hobbits.
fuck you OP STOP RUINING LOTR!!!!
It was part of an auditing scam
>not making your architecture fit for oppressed and underrepresented racial minorities
post moar LOTF goofs
Yup! That's Bilbao's house.
if frodo was a hobbit in lotr why is his name Elijah Wood in real life?
Look at the bridge and gazebo, Elves don't actually care about railings.
Maybe they put the hobbits in the kid's section.
subtle racism, elves think only children and dwarves are too stupid to fall off so they made it dwarf sized which just happens to be about hobbit size
Lord of the Rings is a work written by the hobbits, thus when they choose to depict it visually, it will be under the eyes of a hobbit who would instinctively make the balconies to their height.
First decent thread I've seen in a week.
maybe it was bilbo's apartment or elrond had it built as a guesthouse for the small folk
hm... that might actually be a movie mistake
the only explanation is that it's Bilbo's house, and he's been there a few years (at least in the books)
so maybe he had things fitted his size
When Gandalf visits Minas Tirith and reads the scroll of Isildur, first part of the ring inscription on the scroll has a missing a vowel in Black Speech. Correct word is "durbatulûk" however it is written as "durbatlûk" in the movie.
i understand now why people call him peter hackson
Considering Rivendell was literally a guy's house Elves visited in a particularly striking ravine, this is likely.
Its also not in the supernatural norm for Middle Earth.
Bilbo has his own dorm, this is likely.
I reiterate.
weren't mispellings a common occurrence in the Middle Ages, right up to the Victorian-era anyway?
Shakespeare couldn't even spell his own fucking name right.
Now I literally can't watch these movies again
i-it's misspelled on purpose!
They had hobbit sized rooms in The Prancing Pony, it's not much of a stretch that somewhere as big as Rivendell would have them also.
>esoteric
>from the Gr. 'esoterikos', within, [...] (in etymological sense) 'Applied to things which relate to, or have origin within the organism'
The word is definitely in the right place, you're just a brainlet.
do elves shit? are there toilets in Rivendell ?
if you want long and detailed descriptions of cunts, cocks, semen, shit, diarrhea, spew, menstruation, privies, the colour of Brienne's pubic hair (I'm not joking)
then read GRRM
It wasn't misspelling, they just simply did not have any concept of 'correct' spellings at all
People just wrote things more or less how they sounded. They didn't even have dictionaries. There are only 6 surviving signatures by Shakespeare and they're all spelled differently
Stop making up your own lore faggot
John Rhys Davies, who plays Gimli, is a mountain of a man, but they keep shooting him from angles that make him look like a manlet.
Do they eat meat?
I hate puns.
an oversight
next
>Defending a movie mistake
If the Pransinf Pony had hobbit sized rooms, Rivendel, heaven on earth probably hd them too.
And/or for Dwarfs
How did Gimli know what a nervous system was?
Why didn't Gandalf just use the Eagles to get from the Shire to Rivendell?
He went to Goldmountain University
TAX
QUIT TALKING SENSE, FAG
>LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
How did Uruk's know what "boys" are when they never went through a pre-puberty/adolescent stage in their lives out of the Spawning pits of Isengard?
Bilbo lived there for over 10 years, they propably built him lots of hobbit sized shit over this time, balcony for his apartament included
beat me to it
Nerves are rather distinct and easy to spot in dissected tissue, even stone age people probably alredy knew about nervous system.
Boyz not boys. Big difference.
More importantly, what was Rivendell's tax policy?
No taxation.
It's Bilbo house
>How did Uruk's know what "boys" are when they never went through a pre-puberty/adolescent stage in their lives out of the Spawning pits of Isengard?
moviefags everyone
elves were communists
I never understood why Bilbo liked it there so much, the elves basically treat him like an exotic pet, i wouldnt be able to deal with thay, specially when they are all beautiful, talented, immortal etc and youre only some old fart from a manlet race with hairy feet.
Bilbo is one of the bravest adventurers of middle earth after all the shit that happened in the lonely mountain
he is highly respected by the elves
They had specifically made for hobbit rooms in Bree so it would make sense that in Rivendell they would have made for hobbit room there as well.
>you are now aware that this scene takes place in minas tirith, not in rivendell
