      Movie adaptations need filler, the books themselves would be the length of the Jackson movies but wouldn’t play well to audiences. That’s just how it works it’s why you have to look at movies separately from their books.

        Oh sure, I’m only saying if the movies followed the books, the movie wouldn’t be ridiculously long. It’s only long because Jackson added extra stuff that wasn’t in the books.
