Secondlina's Panels

Geeks worldwide rejoice as they learn in canadian newspapers that peter jackson will not have a word into the cinematographic adaptation of "The hobbit"
I get why people would be happy. I can't say i'm that impressed with some parts of the Lord of the Rings (Gimbli...why are you stupid now?). But still...It's unfair to critisize the guy so much. He tried. And the movie, despite how some hard core geeks point out missing chapters, is still amazing. It is a 3d animation, epic battle, marvel fest.

Yes, chapters are missing. Yeah, legolas is orlando bloom. Yes, gimbli is an idiot. But I wish people would remember that this is an adaptation, and doing a decent adaptation that you can comprehend of the books is still one heck of a good thing. I mean...anyone remember the old, unfinished animated adaptation? Breathtaking, but completly impossible to understand.

LOtR was a huge thing to do. The guy tried. And he still made something of quality. Give him a break.

It seems this week people are dancing on character's graves, and critisizing artists galore. I wish those hardcore fans would tune it down a bit. Yes, hatred and bitching is part of being a fan...But remember, without those artists and characters you all so fondly lash out on...there would be no story to fanatize about.

That is all.

ps. to all Secondworld players: I'm currently (slowly for I have homework) working on a more detailled explanation of the world, doing a cultural analysis of the surrounding countries. I should post it up in Secondworld_fan by the end of this week or next week. I'll at least try to post half of it soon enough.
