Smaug is secure in his strength, so he talks to his victims while making near-misses as he does with Bilbo. His attack on Lake-town shows that he's very capable of killing large numbers of people. Imagine now, if you will, what sort of disaster Smaug might have inflicted on Rohan and Gondor?

Whenever he talks about the dwarves or Oakenshield, you can really hear the disgust and anger in his voice. I love those small moments when Smaug's anger gets the better of him, he's so multi layered in his short screen time. He's extremely intelligent, narcissistic, psychopathically playful. And yet at the same time he's quick to anger, impulsive and overconfident. The fact that the dwarves "dared" come to his home and face him makes him leave that home he's been comfortable in for 60 years to commit mass slaughter, just to satisfy his fury

I even thought it was kind of silly that Smaug says there nowhere to hide, the complex is huge and surely there are plenty of places he wouldn't be able to break into, but if he can "sense" where you are with his scales then it doesn't even matter if he can't see you because he can starve you out and will feel you when you try to sneak by.

When I finally saw this in the theaters at 10 years old, it was a truly awesome experience.

Smaug:…something far more PRECIOUS! (Sauron has joined the chat)

Damn I didn't realize how many of Smaug's quotes are directly from the book.

There's the inherent dissonance with basically a talking kaiju that makes Smaug so compelling. He makes very human-like expressions while still feeling animalistic and monstrous.

I remember seeing this for the first time in the cinema This scene was mesmerising, you could feel his voice all around the room

I doubt Morgoth ever devised a language for the dragons specifically. I'm not sure if there's a mention in the lore of him devising any language for his underlings. The other Valar created languages for their followers or adopted language from the Eldar. Sauron devised Black Speech as a means of unifying the orcish tribes under his rule and likely as an ecclesiastical language in the lands he'd subjugated or cajoled to his side.

Listen to this on your best headphones

If he bragged that way to another dragon, wouldn't that be like a human saying my teeth are tooth picks, my nails are like needles, my skin is like slightly hard wood. After all, neither sword, spear, nor hurricane does much to a dragon.

Maybe, but dragons (the "great" ones like Smaug anyway) are among the most powerful creatures in Middle-Earth, and they know it, and Smaug seems to have a lot of disgust for things lesser than himself.

I love Smaug so much, makes the second movie so much more enjoyable to me, I enjoy quoting him due to just how amazing his lines are. All of them are just perfect, he's a cold, ruthless beast, he put it best: "I kill where I wish. WHEN I wish!" and "You care about them, do you?? Good. Then you can watch them DIE." He is a monster simply by nature, and he's *loving* it. My second and third favorite quotes I can say by heart. "I am almost tempted to let you take it. If only to see Oakenshield *SUFFER.* Watch it destroy him...watch it corrupt his heart- and drive him MAD." and "I will not part with a single coin! Not. One. Piece of it!!" They encapsulate him perfectly, he's the best villain in my opinion, he's such a threat to everything that he comes across, he's confident he's unkillable, he's steady and methodical until his anger gets the best of him. He's the perfect mix of intelligent creature and animalistic beast, they NAILED him in the movie.

funny that last smaug`s quote was a word death, and then he died.

Smaug deserved so much more screen time he was awesome😭

Every time he spoke he gave me chills down my spine even when he confronts bilbo about the lakeman about making him watch them die just blew my mind like how cold-hearted and evil he was to do that even though he got face to face and could've easily killed him, i don't think he wanted to kill Bilbo I think he wanted to make him suffer for the rest of this life if he did survive or not that alone shows more character than what the story reveled about him it would've be really nice to see him twice as massive as the book portrayed with this kind of acting

There's something especially evocative in the line "My armor is *iron*". I'm sure it's as evocative in other languages as well. "Mein Panzer ist wie Eisen!" "Panssarini on kuin rautaa!" (as in hard as iron, not literal iron) "Ore no yoroi ga tetsu da!" "Arma mea ferrum est!" "¡Mi armadura es de hierro!"

Even a minute in and he's intimidating as all hell. The way he looks at Bilbo is terrifying.

Smaug cosplaying Ghiddorah : 8:02 Smaug after being sued : 8:17

I find it interesting how after saying that he'll pay Laketown a visit, Smaug didn't outright attack Bilbo when the hobbit ran towards him considering that just minutes ago Smaug was intent on killing/burning him 😆 I mean, Bilbo was so damn near Smaug and all the dragon had to do was open his mouth to either chomp the hobbit down or reach him w/ dragon fire

@fruzsi8318

He could've killed him then, but he didn't because by that point he hated them so much that just killing them wasn't enough anymore. He wanted Bilbo to suffer knowing that a townful of people died, because of him. That is a much worse fate than death.

Listening to the bass of the voices of characters such as Smaug or Darth Vader is so enjoyable!

When he says "Something made of gold...but far...more... *precious* " I get chills cause he knows exactly what it is and what gollum calls it

Probably one of the best depictions of dragon intelligence in cinema. ❤

Dragons are so cool you wish they were real but then you come back to reality and realize they would wreak havoc

while I'm no Tolkien purest, if you were to ask me which Smauge I prefer (Smaug in the books is a European-style dragon), I'd go with Wyvern Smaug every time, it looks epic, especially when he's flying

I am almost tempted just to let you take it, if only to see Oakenshield suffer, watch it destroy him, watch it corrupt his heart, and drive him MAD, but I think not, I think our little game ends here, so tell me thief, how do you choose to die

I like the sense that you get with Smaug that he really is connected to the dragons of old. The old dragons like Glaurung could hypnotise people and control them, or alter their memories. Here, we see Smaug is highly intelligent and prone to manipulating people, and revelling in their mental anguish, just as Glaurung did.

This! I was always a tiny bit disappointed that Jackson just decided that all of the dwarves of Durin's line were just...weak-willed and could fall into some kind of gold-madness, when this portrayal of Smaug just made it seem so clear that he could've done as Book!Smaug did, and laid a curse on the gold. In general, the Hobbit film trilogy felt _less_ magical than the Lord of the Rings trilogy, when the actual book always felt moreso. Middle Earth is a world of much more subtle magic (unless you're an Istari or other Maiar) than many other fantasy settings, but The Hobbit is full of it. That none of that was leaned into in the films, particularly the idea that a dragon's mere presence tainted and cursed the treasure it slept on, and that Smaug in particular had just kind of deliberately sunk all his malice into the treasure of Erebor...I was so disappointed.

0:59 The moment where the Ring no longer had use for hobbit and betrayed him by forcing him to remove it, risking a death from Smaug. I actually liked Sauron's involvement in Hobbit, like in this moment.

Smaug is just soooo smug

My teeth are swords. My claws are spears. My wings are huricane.

9:47 and the arrow missed, smaug killed everyone and lived happily ever after. The end.

Despite the evilness of Smaug and that he should be genuinely feared he is quite the conversationalist and interesting

Anyone else wonder if someone could steal the gold closest to the stairway/ exit and get away while Smaug was asleep.

@lozm4835

2 жыл бұрын

Steal it? Yes. That's actually what Bilbo does in the book, he steals a single golden cup. But get away? That is a different story. The Dwarves only survive Bilbo stealing that Cup (which Smaug immediately notices, despite being asleep) because they take shelter in the tunnel itself. The Ponies they rode in on (and would have ridden out on) are caught. Smaug even comments to Bilbo that he tasted Dwarf on them.

Smaug is one of my favorite animal villains along with Shere Khan from the 2016 version of The Jungle Book, Rattlesnake Jake from Rango, Bosco from Marmaduke, Kaa from The Sun's Tear, and Hougen from Ginga Densetsu Weed. Favorite quote from Smaug: "You are being used, Thief in the Shadows. You were only ever a means to an end. The coward, Oakenshield, has weighed the value of your life and found it worth.. nothing."

"They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh" says the man who stole the gold just so he could lay on it for 150 years and gloat

I remember watching this in imax 10 years ago and they didn’t show what Smaug looked like before the movie came out and smaugs entrance in theatres was an experience of a lifetime

And to think: the Lord of the Rings trilogy wouldn’t have happened if Bilbo hadn’t dodged that fireball.

Smaug’s design here is just my favorite dragon design
