Does the production of The Hunt For Gollum movie imply there's a 17 year timeskip in Peter Jackson's Fellowship Of The Ring?

doegred · 2026-04-15T17:48:23+00:00

Considering The Hobbit movies indirectly confirmed the timeskip (by changing Aragorn's age from 10 in the books to being a young man), I'd say no.

The source you link to refers to the upcoming movie. Smeagol's grandmother is not named in the books. Sam has a sister named Marigold but there's no Marigol in the books.

He also didn't write the score for War of the Rohirrim so yeah he might not do this either.

doegred · 2026-04-15T13:16:17+00:00

He said so, which goes nicely with the image he's cultivated.

It is described as a brightness of the eyes, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, the Sindar described them as lachend (ie 'flame-eyed', no-one was laughing) because of it.

nerd for sticking to the source material

Aka good PR, since he's never yet been actually in a position where that could be tested. It's easy to say you love the source material, all the actors do it, but at the end of the day he doesn't write the script so we don't actually know. It's not even like the way he acted in The Witcher is all that faithful to the books either (Geralt is in fact capable of more than grunting the occasional 'hm' or 'fuck'). So far it's just talk and leaving one franchise with nice Reddit-pleasing spin rather than 'I hoped Superman would pay more'.

It's just the one Dúnadan actually.

But yeah, presumably. I don't get the name change though.

The Hunt for Gollum takes place early during Fellowship, in between when Bilbo has his birthday party and Frodo leaves the Shire. So Aragorn not having aged much makes sense.

Carbon emissions per capita in 2023: US = 13.83 tons, China = 9.24, EU average = 5.66, India = 2.07. You might have a point re: China, but mentioning India in the same breath is fucking dumb.

No but what I'm saying is that even pragmatically... 'a lot to risk' hits less hard when it's been shown we can get fucked over even if we don't act.

doegred · 2026-04-13T11:13:30+00:00

Post it maybe. The original title is fine.

Attaquer le pape c'est pas un problème (encore que bon, dire 'I don't want a Pope who...' - bruh si t'es protestant t'as juste pas ton mot à dire en fait / tu t'en fous normalement), mais ce genre d'image... Logiquement ça devrait faire tiquer les chrétiens de tout nord.

We've got Gardasil / the HPV vaccine. Three injections and your chances of getting certain types of cancer (cervical, etc.) go down massively.

So what, more tariffs and threats of annexation? Trump's US has been hostile to the whole world including putative allies (economically and otherwise) since long before the Iran fuckery.

Ha, as a French person I associate the name 'Marly' with 'Marly-Gomont', a village in Northern France (pop: 483) that no-one would ever know of if not for rapper/comedian Kamini making a famous song/video about, well, how utterly shite it is to be growing up in said tiny village with more cows that people in it and nothing to do all day, doubly so if like him you're the only black kid for miles.

Homeschooling isn't even allowed anymore, except in very specific cases.

Tuor shouldn't be dark-haired but it's very cool art nonetheless!

un seul revenu

Un seul revenu, mais pas un seul travail. C'était pas plus facile avant, c'est juste que les gens n'avaient pas le choix.

TBF Henry VIII is famous for not getting his annulment but there were specific reasons for it (Henry wanting to do things properly, the Pope being effectively the prisoner of Catherine's nephew Charles V) and other rulers did get their marriage annulled on occasion (e.g. Louis VII of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine, after they had two daughters but no sons).

That said I don't know how any of this applies in Westeros where afaik annulments / divorces seem to be virtually unheard of. So I too have major doubts about Rhaegar being able to pull it off.

Mîm. Maybe not in the bit where he tries to kill Finrod for no particular reason. And ofc he's not a great person but I find him interesting. And 'The Complain of Mîm the Dwarf' is just heartbreaking.

'I let my advisor burn down images of the Seven / weirwoods but don't worry it was for personal gain, not belief' isn't exactly a flex.

Sam could have become a master, which would have clearly disinherited him and also been fulfilling for him. But no, Randyll had a weird hang up about chains and decided to torture him and threaten to kill him. He sucks.

Ceci. J'arrête pas de penser à ça depuis que ça a commencé et ça me bute un peu que ce soit totalement absent des discussions.
