The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

Ok but The Hobbit films were almost on to something?

The first film begins “this story is told from Bilbo’s POV, and Bilbo is an unreliable narrator.” Bilbo begins by saying something like “while I can honestly say I’ve told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it….you’re ready to know what really happened.” 

Basically: we’re told right off the bat that Bilbo is the narrator, and that he’s an unreliable narrator. Bilbo says that he tells the truth….but he also says that he has a habit of leaving important things out, not telling the full story, and not saying what really happened. 

And that’d be an amazing idea for how to adapt the hobbit! Really leaning in to the idea that The Hobbit is written by an Unreliable Narrator would be the perfect way to reconcile the different tones of The Hobbit and LOTR. 

And the first half of Film 1 really emphasizes the “subjective storytelling”/”unreliable narrator” idea.

In another scene, Gandalf tells Bilbo about one of his Took ancestors. Bilbo accuses him of lying, but Gandalf responds “all good stories deserve embellishment. You’ll have a tale or two of your own to tell when you come back.”

This feels like it’s supposed to be the Statement of the Film’s Theme….that the main theme of the Hobbit films is going to be that ”all good stories deserve embellishment,” that it’s impossible to be completely “truthful” when you’re talking about personal subjective emotional experiences.

We hear Bilbo describe Smaug’s attack on Erebor in the prologue, then hear the dwarves describe Smaug’s attack (in the Misty Mountains song) in a completely different way.  Bilbo admits that the elves and dwarves tell the story of their rivalry differently. Balin describes the Victory over the Pale Orc seconds before the film’s like “THEY tell it as a victory, but to the orcs it’s just The Day They Made The Pale Orc Angry.” etc. Like….it feels like the first half of film 1 was setting this idea up as a major theme of the series. 

So Film 1 implies the Big Theme™ of this adaptation is: “What does it mean to tell a True Story? How is a story altered by the POV of the person telling it?”

But then, just like the Misty Mountain theme music, the unreliable narrator idea just vanishes from the movies.The story wheels away from Bilbo’s POV and ends up being about events he had no personal stake in and couldn’t have known about, told from an impersonal 3rd person perspective. The “subjective storytelling” idea just disappears.

where it go

Have you seen this?  I think it does a nice job of analyzing what worked and didn’t work, and why.

Yeah I’ve seen it! And I definitely recommend watching them to my followers…especially the second where Ellis talks about the behind-the-scenes production history of the Hobbit films:

And the third one, where she talks about the impact they had on labor laws in New Zealand:

She got nominated for a Hugo Award for these videos, which is pretty cool!
