Exploring Tolkien

155. The Infamous Messenger Moth : Film Changes #39, #40, and #41

Listen Later

We’re back to going through ALL the changes in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings!  This week we discuss Aragorn’s sword substitions, changes at Weathertop, and that infamous messenger moth:

  • Was Aragorn really just carrying around a package of small swords the entire time?
  • Was the battle at Weathertop lore-friendly?
  • The messenger moth replaces Radagast… and Jonathan can’t get over it.

    • The Rings of Power will now include a blue wizard — a surprise no one was asking for.
