Smaug!

the problem for me is that the hobbit is a bit too much fun and it would be hard to make into a serious film

So it could be both fun and action oriented. The battles could be long and bloody and the fun & humor could offset it. One thing is for sure . . . Smaug will be awesome and a real badass!

Dunno if i'd like the hobbit as a movie more then just a pice in the lotr universe.
Bilbo uses the ring too damn much. And i didn't considered it too much fun either. It's a very good book for 10-12 years old.

There would be several battles. In the beginning there would be a flashback of Smaug kicking ass and doing whatever he wanted as told by the head Dwarf (forgot his hame). Bilbo did kill some giant spiders. Gandalf intervened on one part. The final battle against Smaug will be awesome. Finally the massive battle of 4 (maybe 5) armies battling it out for Smaug's treasure. There's plenty of battles to expand upon for action.

(head dwarf..ya mean thorin?)
it's good for his first novel but it can't be compared with lotr ....or others i can think of. There are 5 armies fighting. That's how it's called: trhe battle of the 5 armies. But the story overall is childish..but it has it's beaty. It could make a good movie.

Here's an interesting question.

What would Smaug have done with Sauron's ring if he had fried Bilbo? 😂

Eaten it.

And Five Armies always WAS a misnomer as it was counting the Wolves.

Perhaps, Smaug could've unlocked its power . . .

Not a chance.

I'd like to see Smaug struggling to get the Ring on one of his fingers.

i think his tongue is thin enough and has the same effect as a finger😄
An evil invisible fire spitting thinggie.....brr...trrrible

Smaug was a very powerful dragon in The Hobbit. However, by D&D standards Smaug certainly wasn't at the Great Wyrm status for a Red Dragon. Smaug was a Mature Adult. Though far less powerful than other Red Dragons . . . Smaug was a force not to be messed with.

Smaug was a baby compared to the great dragons of earlier ages that put any D&D dragons to shame.

Exactly. Smaug is an awesome villain in The Hobbit. However, had Smaug been a Great Wyrm the fatal arrow shot by Bard would've just bounced off. 😂 Or it wouldn't have done much more than hurt him slightly. 😆 That would've pissed off Smaug even further then he already was. 😈 Personally, I think it was very anti-climatic and a (lamest) joke that Smaug was killed by just ONE arrow. 😘

Mind you, he was pretty much the largest you could find at that time.

That is pretty much the fantasy version of the Death Star or Star Destroyers- powerful but foolish bad guys with one weakness.

smaug's death is just a simbol representing intelligence compared with brute force.

😱 😱 thats deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
i just thougth it was a dragon that got killed 😆

well..i can't imagine smaug getting killed by multiple arrows..or heroes dashing their blades toward him. A proof that ONE arrow propperly fired did the job....but yes, killing the dragon was pretty much the result🙂

Most dragons in myth (not LOTR,s which is real) do seem to be killed by a single warrior/arrow/sword 🙁
yet dragons are cute and nice to play with, they are just misunder stood.....poor things.
Foster a dragon today should be the new slogan of the year. 💃

what myth?....the game series?
