Synopsis:

I trimmed many ridiculous over-the-top moments of action and humor (bat-riding Legolas, various apparatus-laden trolls, Dain, Alfrid, etc) to tighten the pace of the battle.

Intentions:

After trying to watch various fanedits of the Hobbit trilogy, I decided to make an edit combining all of my favorite ideas from others along with several of my own.

Change List:

-everything from opening credits to title moved to my DoS edit (now open on Galdalf imprisoned) -Alfrid scene -creepy Legolas -add title card -Alfrid scene -Alfrid "pointy hat" -twirly whirlies & Dain -Dain yelling -worm close-up -Dain fighting -chariot nonsense & some Azog yelling -catapult trolls -catapult & headram trolls -cart riding Bard & blind troll -Alfrid scenes -Thranduil on elk orc overkill -Azog yelling & Dain fighting -Thorin's gold fever dream -Azog yelling & catapult trolls -fighting dwarf silliness -Alfrid "wearing corset" -Dain headbutts, "too many buggers" -Thorin & Dain "kill piece of filth" to "singlehanded" -trim chariot "hold tight lads" to "Durin save you all" -chariot vs trolls -chariot on ice to wargs on ice -"too old for this" -Galdalf vs troll -"no more than 100" -fighting dwarfs vs trolls -Legolas on bat -moved up Thorin fighting orcs on ledge -Bilbo knocked out scene transitions to Azog throws Thorin onto ice -anti-gravity Legolas running -trim Thorin vs ball & chain Azog -mentioning Arathorn, "true name".
