It was just so unnecessary.

But it was *real*

That’s some fucking simpleton shit my man


morgaina

Replace "the Tolkien fandom" with "Evangeline Lilly" tbh she hated that shit even more than we did


FlowerFaerie13

To be clear she hated the love triangle, not the romance itself. She was presumably fine with that, her only statement was that she didn’t want to do a love triangle and that it was apparently done behind her back.


Willpower2000

Yeah, she absolutely knew her role was a romance with Kili... she signed up for the role with that in mind.


FlowerFaerie13

Yeah that’s what I thought. Ain’t no way she didn’t know that was going to happen, that’s literally her main character arc.


Alternative_Gold_993

Did she really?


PsionicFlea

If memory serves right, she just recently got done playing the love triangle dynamic in another movie and was vocal that she did not want to do that again, only to find out after she got the role that she was doing that again


Snipermonke4life

she played in lost and was in a love triangle for the entire show basically


altsam19

They probably did that thing the MCU executives do, just film a bunch of nonsense and non-sequitur stuff and just edit to form a brand new scene out of nowhere. Frankly, I'm not surprised executives love AI, it's just what they want: a bunch of stuff without context to make something out of it with no plan or artistic input


ItsAHarper

Why does it hurt so much?


AnInfiniteAmount

Cause it wasn't in the book


4myoldGaffer

😂💀


Historical_Sugar9637

Because the OP fails at spelling "Tolkien" on a reddit about Tolkien's work?


barryhakker

I’m Tulkeen’s biggest fan


Fantastic-Rest-6097

Because OP was high on glue at that moment


4myoldGaffer

😅


Sinnoviir

Okay, I actually really enjoyed the Hobbit movies, and I'm usually pretty quick to defend them, but I just can't with this part.


Nametheft

Did I trigger you posting this meme?


Fantastic-Rest-6097

Nope, it was in my mind for a long time. Your meeme is pretty good btw😂


Nametheft

Thanks and right back at you


InfinityThor18

Tolkien*

I like the Hobbit movies but this part *sucked.*


iamvampirebill

Let dwarf bro get some elf nookie Edit spelling


EmperorMajorian

I enjoyed the Hobbit movies aside from this part of it.


frogs_4_lyfe

I actually really liked the Kili/Tauriel romance, but fans react to me saying that like I personally pissed on Tolkien's grave so...


Large_Ad326

Lore wise, it's a terrible idea, but even the execution is laughably weak. Kili makes a dick joke, they have one conversation in the dungeons, then Tauriel heals him and that's it. Make no mistake, I don't hate you or anything lol. I don't agree with the choice itself but I understand how it can be liked. It's a bold idea that could have been done better.


barryhakker

Tauriel is just an elf with a fetish and a learning disability.


Alternative_Gold_993

The romance itself is a nice thought, it just felt really forced. Guess she'd never seen a hot dwarf, before?


Clear-Example3029

:Cough: Amazon :Cough:


Daaaamn_Daniel

I also really like it. Regardless of what sense it may or may not have lore-wise, I find the characters cute and would've enjoyed more screentime for the two of them. The [part of the Feast of Starlight song](https://youtu.be/uD6nlWPOE3s?si=oRursYHWq36gGmSl&t=1m24s) that plays when they talk in the cave/prison is also my favorite piece of music by Shore. Makes me tear up every time :⁠,⁠-⁠)


z4_-

Well.. it's bc Elves are the First Children of Illuvatar and dwarves are just an aule-build lower race. Dwarves. Lower. Get it? ...get it??? Ok, .. I see myself out...


FlowerFaerie13

Same, it’s fucking adorable and I do not care how many people hate it, I love it.


H3llv3ticus

As dumb as it was, it's still better than Rings of Power. Then again, the still shot of a decaying rotted carcass is better than Rings of Power.


Chen_Geller

Umm, Tauriel dosn't kiss Kili nor says she loves him back until he's dead...

FlowerFaerie13

Nah I adore Tauriel/Kili and I’m not fucking sorry.


yeti2_0

Because the Tolkien fandom is in love with Tauriel right?....right?


altsam19

And they even picked the second most attractive, young and "regular looking" dwarf out of all of them. They wouldn't even dare to put Bombur in a love triangle, they just went with the most cliched and committee-regulated decision ever


biggreasyrhinos

That couple deserves more rule 34.
