Vengeance is the most corrupting ring

It is said that the Lord of the Rings will corrupt people's hearts and make them greedy. But Thorin had shown his desires before he got the Lord of the Rings. Although the desire arises, perhaps it is because of the hatred of the country and the family.
Thorin looks more like Murong Fu, with the great cause of recovery on his body, and a bunch of idlers to assist him, gradually turning the country into the only purpose of life, and then everyone is not important, even himself. Thorin doesn't fully trust Gandalf, not to mention Bilbo, who himself is used as a snitch. So he didn't listen to Gandalf's admonitions, so he ignored Bilbo's life and death, and even didn't consider the feelings of his companions, and insisted not to wound the soldiers. The prosperous dwarves and the town of Long Lake were still vulnerable to Smaug. When he vowed to share the treasure with the people of Long Lake, he was really confident that he could surrender the dragon with the power of a dozen people. I still don't care what fate this village will endure.
Bilbo showed greed for the Lord of the Rings, but it seemed to be limited to the Lord of the Rings. Throughout the journey, he has saved the dwarves from fire and water many times, and never abandons. And even during the confrontation with Smaug, the only thing he was thinking of was the Akon gem, it seemed that gold on the ground did not attract him much. So when Thorin rushed in and saw Bilbo sternly asking about the whereabouts of the gem, without asking whether it was safe, it was somewhat chilling.
Kili is actually quite handsome, but after all, it is a different species, and Legolas is standing opposite, so Tauriel's choice is somewhat weird. The only explanation is that self-esteem is never high. If there is a huge disparity in status, then don't think too much about it. But the disparity in status is better than the difference in species. It instantly became a taboo for contemplation and fear.
The combat effectiveness of Gandalf in the gray robe is still not good, and it is still different from the figure of Dinghai Shenzhen who turned into a white robe during the Lord of the Rings. Self-preservation is a problem, let alone saving people.
As the ultimate boss, Smaug didn't get rid of it. Instead, he ran away to harm the world, which made people feel that the story was endless. But after all, there is nothing wrong with leaving a button for the lower part.
The most amazing thing about the Lord of the Rings series is the establishment of the entire worldview. Each single story is just a small part. No matter how you modify it, the theme of HTC cannot be concealed. This may be the main reason for not being disappointed.

  • Thranduil: You have found a way in. You seek that which would bestow upon you, the right to rule. The King's Jewel. The Arkenstone. It is precious to you beyond measure, I understand that. The gems in the Mountain that I, too, desire... White gems, of pure starlight. I offer you my help. I will let you go, if you but return what is mine.
