Nope, They were greedy before the rings ever came into being. It just amplified their already existing greed as seen when the dwarves killed the elf king setting off elves- dwarf feud.

Everyone talks about thranduil here and how great his performance was but man Thorin gets to me here. The emotion and passion he displays here is moving. I don’t think it’s as prideful as some people see. He rightfully distrustful of the elves not just because of ancient history but recent history. At least in the movies it’s clear thranduil is no saint. His heart holds a greed far more subtle than the dwarves but it’s there. “You turned away from the suffering of MY people.” That line always gets me. You can see in Thorin’s eyes how deep the trauma goes. It’s like it was yesterday for him. It’s a more selfless outburst than prideful, because he feels he’s advocating on behalf of his people. It’s not smart. It won’t really get him anywhere. And there is some pride behind his reasoning. But it’s emotional and real. He’s also in the right. They admitted how utterly desperate they were and begged for help but were turned away. What’s more is that those who were turned away other than thror himself had nothing to do with the dragon coming.

I feel like a lot of this scene makes more sense with the context that Thranduil's original home was destroyed by dwarves in a war that started because of greed(on both sides. Those silmarils were shiiiinneeyyyy). He was around to watch Khazad-Dûm fall to greed, and and then again with Erebor, after (and this part is solely movie based) the dwarves denied him his commission and kept the starlight gems. He gave Thorin a chance to not be greedy, and in his eyes Thorin failed. To him, dwarves are just greedy little warmongers that have pretty much just got what they've had coming(and he's also being a little petty because he's Thranduil and he can)

When you realize that the dwarves showed this guy the last memento from his wife, whom he has no body or grave to mourne over, and then they close the box in front of him and say "pay up", his bad attitude here makes total sense. It's like if the Russian mob were supposed to deliver that dog to John Wick after his wife died, but instead kept it for themselves.

2:00 I love, whenever I watch this scene, hearing the thunder sound and the music that is following it.

Why is it always an Elf warning someone? Elrond warned Isildur, Thranduil warned Thror.

I like Thranduil`s arrogant and overconfident attitude

Thranduil was so majestic. Definitely my favorite character of all.

Thranduil comes up as mocking and arrogant while Thorin comes up as angry and stubborn. If both parties don't try to agree with each other then it's no wonder than the negotiations failed so quickly.

Sad to see this is the last scene we see thorin in this badass coat

Thorin says, “Imrid amrâd ursul” “Die a fiery death.” Oh the irony. I love these movies

I never tire of this scene between these two. But I defs keep coming back to see my boo, Thranduil ❤

This was the first scene that Lee Pace shot. After this, his eyebrow and facial expressions got so much better.

Imagine Thranduil when he finally gets a hold of Bilbo's book. He's just casually reading through and then they get to Mirkwood, with Bilbo saying remaining invisible and stealing things was the most boring part of the journey. I think Thranduil would be more offended that Bilbo wasn't entertained than him stealing from the elves.

You would think this was an action scene by how dramatic the music is.

Thorin had to much pride, he ignores that the Thor insulted the elves earlier. So they were never friends to begin with and thus had no real reason to help them.

The movies usually seem to portray Thranduil as an opponent to the dwarves, to the point of outright contradicting the book e.g. in the book he and his armies did actually help the refugees, particularly the poorer men in and around Laketown, instead of just marching back straight after arriving. Yes, he could have launched an immediate attack on Smaug, who would be inactive after acquiring such treasure for many years; but there was a good chance this would have just ruined Thranduil's kingdom as well, and gotten many of his kin killed, for nothing - and even if they won, what would it be for? Elves do not hunger for treasure in the same way that the dwarf kings (afflicted by dragon sickness/greediness) do. Having seen the battle already lost and the place in ruins, Thranduil didn't charge into the former kingdom. This can be contrasted against the near-opposite decision made by Thorin's people (then led by his grandfather) in their attempt to reclaim Morea, an attack which got many of their people killed for nothing. Trading lives for territory and/or possessions is usually a poor exchange indeed. The likelihood is, if the seven dwarven armies had rallied together, instead of bickering over what to do, to challenge Smaug, that Thranduil would have given military support at that time. Remember, it wasn't just the elves who didn't come to the dwarf king's aid that day, for their own armies failed to come for days, weeks, months, or years. Its easy to blame Thranduil for not throwing away everything in haste, but he was clearly willing to play the long game and stand at a time when it would be most effective. There's a line to be drawn between prudence and recklessness, the lack of the latter often being construed as cowardice The dwarves saw Thranduil as a coward by that one act. They did not understand him, nor did they try to. Yet, Thranduil was prepared to commit an army to aiding Thorin in raiding Erebor/Smaug's horde (distinctly different from actually fighting to kill Smaug and taking the treasure in its entirety), greatly aiding Thorin in his goal, and already recognised him as a rightful king. With the Arkenstone in Thorin's hands, as Thranduil foresaw, it would be very likely that the dwarves could have been unified once again. But instead of accepted this aid, which came at a relatively tiny price (Thranduil wants his wife's jewelry back, nothing more - and that's only if the expedition succeeded), Thorin chose to spite him to serve his own pride; for that pride, he pushed a possible powerful ally into needing to oppose him to save face in front of his people. Thorin is often his own worst enemy, a family trait at that.

I guess they felt they had to change Thranduil since he would completely overshadow Thorin, one of the main characters. Especially considering the fact that Thorin was seriously unreasonable. So the fact that Thranduil made a complete 180 in the movie sort of justifies Thorin's response to him. But that was the wrong move. Thorin was a side character to Bilbo afterall, or should have been. They should have kept Thranduil as he was, and just made his role smaller onscreen, same with Legolas. Bilbo just seems to be present with the other characters.

The main reason to take back not only Erebor, but Moria is that they are massive strongholds and would have been helpful against orc uprisings. Leaving a dragon alive or a balrog is naive not just on the part of the elves but the wizards as well. Had they been more proactive in defeating these threats then their would have been two much more powerful kingdoms to help in fighting Mordor years later.

Damn now all I can hear is Trevor Belmont. If only Thorin dropped a few more F-bombs it would be perfect.

If they do Battle of the Last Alliance, then you'll see Thranduil. I would hope if they do that though they bring Lee Pace back because he gets the character and Thranduil's complexity.

great acting

Probably the best line that could’ve been used against Thranduil in regards to calling it a burglary. “You consider the notion that I would be stealing from a thief; and you would call that injustice?”

Thank God he has no buzz cut

In all honestly, Thranduil was right about the fact that Thorin really knew nothing about Dragon Fire. He was around during the first age, where there were dragons who would make Smaug look like a lizard in comparison. Those Dragons could destroy kingdoms with ease, and killed countless elves during the wars against Morgoth and his forces.

Lee Pace and Richard Armitage 🥰

Thranduil was not asking for much. Thorin overreacted

Please, correct me if i am wrong, but the dwarves did steal his jewels. I emphasize on the ''stealing'' part. Thus, the dwarves were immoral, unjust, malevolent and unkind to their ''friends''. And while Thranduil warned the dwarves about what their king's greed would accomplish, causing endless death, chaos and destruction to the innocent, they ignored him, stole what was not rightfully theirs, provoked a war between the races, disrespected the elven king, humiliated him.. and Torin had the audacity of speaking about honor!? Does anyone realizes he is the evil one?

I believe that Thorin truly believed in his grandfather and was thus blinded to Thror's wrongdoings, but Thranduil remembers everything as if it just happened, since they're immortal and, like Thranduil himself said, 100 years are nothing more than mere blink in the life of and Elf, which means that Thror's betrayal and the stealing of Thranduil's wife's gems were still fresh in his mind.

@@abraham2172 You have just used illogical excuses to justify all the dwarves wrongdoings. Thror's family arrogance, their ignorance, their lack of morality and their malevolent nature. You claimed: "Thror likely was consumed by dragon sickness'' but if a driver is drunk, and he kills an entire family, his intoxicated nature justifies his actions? Excuses them? No, of course not. And as Thror was abusing his power, and the rest of the dwarves witnessed it, what did they do? They tolerated it, and through their inactivity, they encouraged his ill intentions. Σo, as the entire dwarf collective allowed such crimes, yes, Thranduil refused to help them. Exactly as he should. Cause and effect, action and consequences. If someone insults and provokes you, and steals from you, and harms you, the equal response it completely justified. Therefore, the ''holier-than-though'' Thorin should re-examine his perception, revalue his judgement and reform is priorities. Instead of an apology, he awakened a dragon that had already spread endless death, chaos and destruction, using the childish excuse ''we want our home back.. and who cares about our actions consequences''. A true heir to that mad king!
