It would have bit me on the face!
[quote=""Valkrist""]All things considered, and for how many dwarves there are in this movie, there is a considerable dearth of axes, which is supposed to be their hallmark weapon. Then again, that could just simply be a fantasy stereotype and Jackson opted to diversify their weapon choices as much as he did their physical appearance. I'm still a little put out as to how some folks are heavily criticizing this decision while failing to see how necessary it is for an audience to tell all these guys apart, but that's a discussion for another thread.[/quote]
So true. That is something that I mentioned at the beginning of this whole mess. Tolkien definitely had a vision for dwarves, in this case they are very different from what most of us thought. But as you said, people have to be able to tell them apart. We have to remember how dumb, I mean really dumb, the general public is. I know people who can't tell the difference between Aragorn and Boromir, Theoden and Eomer; it's ridiculous. Plus it would be pretty monotonous to see 13 of the same thing, with slightly different noses, coloured beards, coloured clothing, and one fat one! The only problem I have is that I think Thorin's beard is too short, but I got over that fast.
