And that's just the surface. The movies really are terrible. Even the CGI looks remarkably dated.
>>
>>71726066
>>71726094
No he wasn't. In the book he was very strong, regal, and stoic, and seemed kinglier and wiser than even Gandalf. He was a Shakespearean tragic figure, on par with King Lear. The movies turned him into a bumbling, gluttinous idiot more fit to play a jester.
>>
>>71726245
He was covetous of his position as steward.
He refused to see that he was a temporary guardian of Gondor and that Aragorn was the true King.

He was a cunt.
One with airs, yes, but still a cunt

Except Gandalf was never malicious about it like in the movies. For example, he never would have hit Denethor or literally kill him by pushing him on the pyre.
>>71726455
Shut the fuck up.
>>
>>71726245
>gluttinous

Agree with the rest, but where was he a glutton? Did they even show him eating in the movies? I just remember him sneering and talking alot and cosplaying as the human torch.
>>
>>71725967
He was corrupted by the palantir, corrupted by fear that is. Sauron showed him some true and some false images and when his vision of boramir's death was true he assumed the other visions of minis tirith falling were true and he gave up

Also the stewards of gondor always had a superiority complex. I think the first few Stewards were good but then it became worse and worse
>>
>>71726569
There was that thirty minute eating montage in front of Merry and Pippin or whoever.

>>
>>71726632
Gandalf mentions it. They mention some stuff from the Silmarillion too if you listen.
>>
>>71726917
It's a literal fucking quote you mongoloid retard.
>Denethor looked indeed much more like a great wizard than Gandalf did, more kingly, beautiful, and powerful; and older. Yet by a sense other than sight Pippin perceived that Gandalf had the greater power and the deeper wisdom, and a majesty that was veiled. And he was older, far older. ‘How much older?’ he wondered, and then he thought how odd it was that he had never thought about it before. Treebeard had said something about wizards, but even then he had not thought of Gandalf as one of them. What was Gandalf? In what far time and place did he come into the world, and when would he leave it? And then his musings broke off, and he saw that Denethor and Gandalf still looked each other in the eye, as if reading the other’s mind. But it was Denethor who first withdrew his gaze.

>>71726923
Prove it.
>>
>>71726960
>Pippin's POV
Well that explains that. Why would you use that as some kind of objective standard?
>>
>>71726948
Gandalf mentions nothing of the sort.
>>
>>71726991
Because the book treats it as such you fucking idiot.
>>
>it's a bookfags episode

Please slime back into your cesspool you psuedo intellectual shitstains.
>>>/lit/
>>
>>71726960
You got that Denethor wasn't a paranoid fool from one sentence before Pippin forgets the guy and starts thinking about Gandalf.
>>
>>71727019
>the book treats it as such
No it doesn't. You posted a big stretch of text and didn't even bother reading it then?
>Denethor looked indeed much more like a great wizard than Gandalf did, more kingly, beautiful, and powerful; and older.
This is the part that agrees with you.
>Yet by a sense other than sight Pippin perceived that Gandalf had the greater power and the deeper wisdom, and a majesty that was veiled. And he was older, far older
This is the next sentence, which refutes it.
>>
>>71726960
Denethor has always been a weak fool envious of Aragorn being heir to the throne. And in the book it describes Aragorn as always usually being somber and melancholy with unexpected shows of joy, just like in the movies. Hes a whiny pansy as they describe who sometimes smiles and throws a little snide comment. Legolas is Mary Sue, sure. Still a bamf though. Ahnd what you said about Elrond being a liar, have you even read the Silmarillion? Elves have done some awful, sometimes evil shit. Galadriel even lied (or never told the whole truth) in the book about the kin slaying and shit. Eoyen is le strong women in both pieces, so what? The CGI in the movies is also great, I think you're talking about the Hobbit.
>>
>>71727066
>66

not that anon but I don't think that refutes it. Just that upon closer inspection, he isn't as impressive as he first seemed when compared to Gandalf.

>>71727000
They mention the days of old and mentions Morgoth every time the Balrog comes up.
>>
>>71726057
ayy lmao
>>
>>71727143
The point is that the guy is saying that Denethor's regal demeanor is some objective description given by the narration, when it's Pippin's own perception, which doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
>>71727174
In the books Legolas covered his ears when Gandalf used the name Morgoth.
>>
>>71727000
>>71727174
He also mentions how when Gondor falls into ruin and the line of kings falling over time the throne was handed over to lesser men

>Denethor looked indeed much more like a great wizard than Gandalf did, more kingly, beautiful, and powerful; and older. Yet by a sense other than sight Pippin perceived that Gandalf had the greater power and the deeper wisdom, and a majesty that was veiled.

AND YET BY A SENSE GREATER THAN SIGHT YOU FUCKING IIIIIIIIDIOT

he appears to be kinglier and wiser than gandalf, hOWEVER HES NOT
>>
>>71727208
You know the books were meant to be perceived as anecdote from the Hobbits personally, right? As if they were writing the books them selves?
>>
>>71726490
To be fair, his actions toward Denethor in the movie make more sense toward the movie version of his character. It reflects those differences more than Gandalf's differences.

>>
>>71727208
Are you claiming that it matters they didnt show him something as dumb and non-nonsensical to the story as covering his ears? Also, the only reason they even call him Morgoth is because that's the name they gave him because calling him Melkor is whats really bad.

YOU obviously didn't read my post because if you did you would have known I said that Denethor -seemed- wiser than Gandalf in the book, which he did. Gandalf was actually wiser, but didn't -seem- so. That contrast is what makes him a good, interesting character. The movies don't even make Denethor -seem- wiser than a fucking mouse, he's portrayed as a bumbling retard, much like yourself.
>>71727023
You're a plebeian, the scourge of society, the lowest common denominator that has stripped the soul out of culture.
>>71727120
1. Aragorn always accepted his place as King of Gondor, he never tried to hide or avoid it as in the movies. That is what I referred to.
2. Elrond would never abandon Middle-Earth as a he tried to do, or willfully decieve Arwen as he also tried to do.
>>71727174
>>71727211
And that proves what exactly? Where in any of those conversations does Gandalf mention Denethor with a palantir?
>>71727208
Oh yeah, it was all Pippin's opinion huh? Guess the Nazgul weren't really scary either, that was just the opinion of whoever was narrating at that time.
You fucking idiot.

denethor was a weak fool and because he didn't kiss gandalfs ass gandalf let him burn himself to death.

Had he been given the chance to be redeemed he would have taken it. He was a better and more pure Man than Theoden. The only difference was he wasn't allowed to be rid of his own personal wormtongue.

Fuck gandalf,

He also got Narsil way sooner. If you ever try to follow a book into a movie completely, it just won't turn out good. You are watching a movie after all, and it's hands down the best representation that can be made. Some people may even get Butt hurt about Bombadil even though he didn't drive the story forward at all. Some things just need to be left out because they really don't matter.
>>
As an adaptation it works. It is better to have varied characters when they're not going to have a bigger arc. Not everyone needs to be wise and great, I think it's OK to take some shortcuts, makes for a more engaging narrative.
But again it is an adaptation, a different take on the material and while there are things I don't like about it, on the whole it works pretty well.
>>
>>71727400
>all this emotion
Please calm down. You can't make characters appear drastically different in a movie based on whose "viewpoint" we see them through.
I mean sure we can, if it's something like Rashomon, but the LoTR trilogy was not Rashomon. The movie came out so long ago your butthurt over this should just stop already.

You haven't defeated anyone and you are still the only one acting emotional. You should stop that, since this isn't anywhere near as serious as your behavior would imply it was.
Back on topic though. Pippin, a Hobbit from the Shire, thought Denethor looked more impressive than Gandalf, the guy who was always hiding his abilities and knowledge behind a charade of being a jolly old wandering conjurer. That's a fact. Pippin knew this was only how he appeared. That's also a fact. We can agree on those, right? I know you agree on the first.

That has literally, literally nothing at all to do with anything that I said.

Is that simple enough for you? Do you understand? Fuck what Pippin thinks, fuck Gandalf, that's the whole point.

You are so fucking stupid... I try to make it as simple as possible, but even then you fail to understand. Let me break it down even further for your feeble mind.

>book: denethor is incredibly stoic, and carefully times a cavalry charge that saves faramir's life and drives off the orcs for a time
>movie: denethor sits in his tower chomping on tomatoes and chicken

>book: denethor believes the battle is hopeless but will still do everything in his power to fight sauron
>movie: denethor yells 'flee for your lives!'

>book: denethor gazed into the palantir and although sauron could not corrupt or decieve him, he showed him biased visions. This made him depressed and deapairing
>movie: denethor is le kuhrazy xD

>book: the blood of westernesse runs nearly true in denethor, and he is a noble leader with a strong will and regal bearing (oh wait no that's all just gandalf's opinion xD)

The first 100 or so pages are a perplexingly bland slog through the trough of self important tripe only a neet shutin would enjoy. Maybe if you read actual literature you would be able to accurately be able to siphon off a bit of the genius that goes into real art and improve your own life?

What an ass. I never liked Chris.
>>
>>71728832
Look at how angry and twisted you are all because you're too dense to understand Denethor's character. You posted evidence AGAINST your interpretation in the thread even, it's incredibly funny. Please keep replying, you lovable sperg you!
>>
>>71729093
Christopher Tolkien is a hack asshole riding on his dad's coattails. Also he let the Hobbit happen, so fuck him for being a hypocrite as well.
>>

'Waah waah, my father is famous and I've lived in his shadow all of my 91 bitter years': the person.

If I did that, why don't you point it out? Oh wait, because I didn't do that at all. Now that you feel as stupid as you are you've adopted a smug, above-it-all, passive-aggressive attitude in an attempt to save face which is quite frankly as pathetic as your earlier attempts at argument were.
>>
>>71726192
Surprisingly, RotK is the only film where the cgi looks horribly dated.
>>
>>71729323
It was already pointed out to you but you flapped your arms in the air, posted a lot of inane pseudo-intellectual drivel amounting to a big "NUH UH" and then kept shitting up the thread. I'm not even the same person you freaked out about earlier, you just have the obsessive need to marginalize people who disagree with you.


And that's because you're off your meds.

>>71729323
You really need to stop, for your own good. This can't be good for you.

How many of the fellowship were virgins?
All the hobbits
Gandalf
Are Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir virgins as well?
Aragorn is certainly not.
>>
>>71729402
>All the hobbits
>implying
Anon, please. Merri was a total player. Also Legolas has been around so long he must've gotten around. Boromir probably banged wenches regularly, and Gimli was a virgin who only became sexually awakened when he obtained Galadriel as a waifu.
>>
>>71729402
Boromir slayed pussy up and down the tiers of Minas Tirith.

naw lad. his penis was the pride of the shire. There's a part of the simarilion that goes over this in great detail.
>>

>the silmarillion
You mean The Book of Lost Tales, of course.
>>
>>71729500
I don't remember hobbits featuring much in the Silmarillion.
>>
>>71729388
So you don't actually have any examples. Somehow I knew that all along. I guess it's too much of me to expect the average person to have the bare minimum reading comprehension.
>>71729399
You should stop being retarded, that's really not good for you.
>>
>>71729629
There's nothing retarded about telling someone who is unreasonably upset over nothing to calm down. This has been going on for a while, you need to stop before you get a heart-attack or something.
>>
>>71729643
There's more of that smug attitude, why don't you post a pepe as well? I'm sure that'll just enrage me to no end - and stupidity often causes anger and pity in those with at least average intelligence.
>>
>>71729682
You're really jumping through hoops to defend your "superiority" on an anonymous imageboard. Bespeaks some deep-seeded mental problems, my dude.
>>
>>71726057
Someone post the screencap.
>>
>>71729682
More of what "smug attitude"? I haven't been talking to you all this time, you know. There's more than one person here.
>>
>>71729709
For someone that's supposed to not care you sure do seem eager to defend your attitude as well.
>>
>>71729738
So you're just going to play dumb. Oh wait, in your case it's not playing.

You're in the Bouncing Pony when this guy walks in, slaps your girlfriend's ass and tells you to hand over the silmarils. What do?
>>
>>71729837
See the thing is I can understand subtext unlike you. You obviously read through the posts with preconcieved notions causing you to disagree with me, then projected yourself onto the person arguing against me and felt like the arguments were personal attacks. You wanted desperately to prove me wrong, but as you read through and found you could not, you decided to resort to passive-aggressiveness. Then you claim to have no knowledge of what happened, but suddenly decided to attack me. That is what I mean by playing dumb. But go ahead, flitter away with your manufactured sense of superiority. You truly are the bigger man. With a bigger head, but all that means is more empty space. You have learned nothing.

>>71728701
not him but you're seriously stupid and represent everything bad about dumb people using "autism" to mean "you're giving this more thought than I am".

the actions aren't the same - even if they were the motivation and nuance behind them is always more in depth in a book than in a movie (specially one that by the 3rd it sort of gave up and made a big simple epic action)
>>
>>71726294
In the books boromir asked denethor why he wouldn't give up on the line of kings returning to gondor and just assume the title of king instead of steward. Denethor stayed firm that they were only rulers temporarily and made sure boromir understood that. Denethor was actually quite honorable before he used the palantir.

The film rights had been sold long before the Hobbit was ever made and there was nothing legally he could do to stop it. However I agree with your points though, shame he's nickle and diming all of his father's remaining work, probably still loads unpublished to keep the gravy train moving for future generations that don't give him lip.

Tolkien states he was about 50 times bigger than Thangorodrim, which is the biggest mountain range in the world, which makes him a big dragon for you.

Why did Hackson add the Elves to the battle?

it seems like such a needless derivation from the book that adds literally nothing, then the Huorns appearance is almost skipped over

take some words from it, and flip some letter and you are ready. Or just ask /tg/ for help.
