I'm glad I am not the only person who cares about that. nossy Send a noteboard - 15/12/2013 08:41:48 AM

I have to admit the Smaug sequences were well-done with him coming across as just about as deadly as anything that crawls around on two wings can. I was still annoyed at leaving him with no hands. That's fine for bestial dragons, like in SoI&F, but sentient, especially the super-cunning type of sentient, and supremely powerful beings deserve hands, dammit! Even Leto II had hands. Not to mention just about every semi-official illustration I have ever seen features a four-legged dragon.

I don't care whether it's "anatomically correct" or not, as my pedantic husband is trying to claim - it's STUPID. Dragons need four legs.

Edit: Also, this is going to be super nerdy, but isn't a two-legged dragon actually a wyvern?

Sorry, two-legged dragons are just goofy, even if they did the best they could with that limitation Cannoli - 13/12/2013 11:13:34 PM 871 Views

I don't care whether dragons have "hands" or not, as long as it meets all other draconic reqs. Bookwyrm - 15/12/2013 02:16:15 PM 914 Views

I'm not looking for "hands." nossy - 15/12/2013 03:48:26 PM 825 Views
The entire concept of a wyvern is a fairly recent one. Tom - 16/12/2013 04:48:15 PM 786 Views
I especially liked Thranduil's scenes. *minor spoilers* Bookwyrm - 13/12/2013 11:25:30 PM 760 Views
such a good physical match for Legolas Aeryn - 14/12/2013 01:22:21 AM 1013 Views
Thought he looked more elf than Elrond and Galadriel put together. Bookwyrm - 14/12/2013 07:13:00 AM 929 Views
He's also in my favorite movie, The Fall Aeryn - 16/12/2013 06:03:22 PM 1314 Views

So how is the new female elf they introduce "Tauriel" Roland00 - 14/12/2013 05:34:56 AM 834 Views
I liked her ironclad - 14/12/2013 10:43:22 AM 778 Views
A lot of reviews said she was one of the best parts of the movie Aeryn - 16/12/2013 06:05:50 PM 999 Views
Have to say, this was even worse than the first one, and I fear the third one may be still worse. Legolas - 04/01/2014 12:32:51 AM 809 Views
You know what I think. I definitely have spoilers. nossy - 04/01/2014 07:23:52 PM 788 Views
No point in arguing about such things, of course ironclad - 04/01/2014 09:51:07 PM 670 Views

Or perhaps a hipster rodent. All the more reason to poison it. *NM* Tom - 06/01/2014 07:54:13 PM 352 Views
