Really Underrated Part Of The LotR Films Is When Gollum Gets Exposition Lines. Like Can You Imagine?

i would pay several hundred dabloons to see orlando bloom play a book-accurate legolas. i completely understand how they probably had to tone his character down or else he would’ve taken all the spotlight lol, but can you imagine orlando bloom fucking SCREAMING at the sight of a balrog

Maglor: Where's Maitimo!?

Beleg: I'll do you one better, who is Maitimo?!

Celegorm: I'll do you one better! Why is Maitimo?

Something something about Curufin really resembling Fëanor. Sometimes Curufin catches his brothers looking at him weirdly. Like, really weird. Maglor standing in the doorway with tears in his eyes while Curufin plays with Tyelpe, softly singing the same songs Fëanor used to hum to them as kids. Or Maedhros going completely silent—teary-eyed silent—after Curufin delivers a fiery political rant they absolutely don’t agree on. Tyelko weirdly saying a soft “thank you” (with a smile, no less) when Curufin quietly replaces his worn-out arrows with new ones. Even Caranthir showing up at the forge, saying nothing at all, just standing there until Curufin asks what’s up and all he says is, “I like watching you work.”

It used to weird him out. Now he kinda gets it. They weren't looking at him at these times... they were seeing echoes. He accepts it. His brothers' pain is the same as his.

Feisty little elves

Maedhros: You're adopted.

Elrond: *Confused*

Elrond: I was there when you adopted me.

They're the same picture.

Beren: I'm going to fight god.

Luthien: Not without me you're not.

Queer media is cinema, pass it on!

Sauron, watching someone run like a bat out of hell from Ungoliant: haha what a fucking idiot

Sauron:

Sauron: wait. that's my idiot!
