What the fuck was Jackson thinking?
webms welcome
>"Oy Vey, Mr Jackson, we've been hearing rumours you plan to make the Hobbit in two parts and not three?"
"Yes, it's a short childrens book"
>"Oy Gevalt, what a holocaust, Mr Jackson, we are missing out on a third film worth of shekels here"
"It'll be hard to make the source material last two films, let alone 3"
>"A shoah, right here in my office, remember the 2 billion, Mr Jackson, we demand you make stuff up, invent new characters, show popular characters from Lord of the Rings, lots and lots of CGI"
"Yes, my chosen one"
>"One last thing you Goy animal, we hear the dragon has 4 legs... it only needs 2 to walk, many shekels will be saved"

Honestly this probably isn't too far off from what actually happened

>One last thing you Goy animal
Chuckle every time.
Just caught the end of BotFA
>CGI dwarfs fighting CGI orcs
>sorrowful music plays whilst Thorin dies, like anyone gives a shit
>Bilbo crying like they had a relationship, despite nothing of the kind being shown over three fucking movies
>Legolas being told to "go and find a ranger named Strider"
Jesus fucking christ.

it wasnt Hacksons fault. Del Toro walked out at the last second so Hackson had to come in and direct this shit, he didnt plan any of it.

a ranger known IN THE WILD as Strider, which isn't even fucking true, only the people in Bree call him that, and it's derogatory
the LOTR movies have bloom, actually. probably just as much as the Hobbit. the Hobbit movies were visually shitty for other reasons.

Jackson is the one who wanted multiple movies. He wanted money. His deal for Hobbit was obviously a lot better than his deal for LOTR.

No one forced Jackson to
>go to 48FPS
>saturate every scene with a weird filter
>turn an initial two-part project into a trilogy
>create a brand new character and introducing the most embarrassing love triangle in recent movie history
>do lots of shit cameos
>use go-pro cameras
>turn Legolas into an anime character
I understand that he opted for lots of CGI because of the time constraints but everything else was unavoidable. The truth is he's lost it.
Requesting Legolas hanging-upside-down-from-bat webm and also Legolas falling-bricks webm.

It's only noticeable in RotK.
The Hobbit trilogy is much worse than the Star Wars prequels.

Jackson will never be given a big budget film ever again.
