Spoiler Alert!

He changed the name because Bilbo doesn’t go home again. He moves to Minnesota.

and now fans are demanding to change the outcome of Thorin Oakenshield's destiny.

NO!

It's Like Trying to Change what happened to Boromir.

It’s due to women ape over the lead actor. They completely miss the deeper meaning of Thorin’s descent into greed, and his redemption although it cost him his life.

IOW, they aren’t looking at Thorin Oakinshield, warrior and fallen king, they are looking at #ThorinHot.

I refuse to watch another Peter Jackson film after he destroyed the King Kong francise.

No not the filmography, effects or the brilliance of andy serkis. That aspect was wonderful. No it was the PC, anti man, pro pedophiles homo, anti capitalist, whites are evil racism and a weak faggy plot line with metrosexual heroes that destroyed it.

He is on my ship list along with James Cameron

So Jackson makes three films from a half inch thick paperback book - anyone remember “Bored of the Rings” by the Harvard Lampoon guys way back when? The story of the ring given by Dildo Bugger to his nephew, Frito. Some of it was pretty clever, some not so much.

Fans expressed in their petition that Thorin could have greater potential as a character had he been kept alive in Tolkien's version.

LOL. What do they want, a Thorin spinoff?

Yeah, and the swan should live in “Swan Lake”, and Romeo and Juliet should have a happy ending.

How about all the other fans who have pleaded with him not to include the major departures from LOTR and The Hobtbit which he had ignored?

Translation: Jackson wants to change the story, and is selectively appealing to the fans who will justify his changes.
