108. What Went Wrong with Tolkien’s 1960 Hobbit Rewrite : The Hobbit #4
Join our Free Discord Channel!
When Tolkien set out to rewrite The Hobbit in 1960, much was lost, but much was gained… Do the gains outweigh the losses? We review his rewritten 1st chapter of The Hobbit, newly title “A Well-Planned Party”.
We discuss:
* Fairy Rabbit’s are NOT Hobbits… but AI can still imagine them.
* Fairy Rabbit #1
* Fairy Rabbit #2
* Fairy Rabbit #3
* Fairy Rabbit #4
* Fairy Rabbit #5
* Fairy Rabbit #6
* Tolkien’s grammatical error that created an entirely new word.
* The overall tonal and stylistic changes in the 1960 rewrite.
* The specific passages that were changes for the worse.
* The specifics and details Tolkien added to bring it closer to Lord of the Rings.
* Our final thoughts on whether we prefer the original Hobbit or Tolkien’s 1960 rewrite.
In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:
* What did Peter Jackson add to The Hobbit movie that was actually GOOD.
* Dragons with 2 legs vs dragons with 4 legs.
* Beorn in the battle of the 5 armies and a certain unnecessary scene.
