I randomly thought of the Hobbit movies and I remembered Alfrid and just winced. I cannot believe Peter Jackson and co. decided to dedicate that much screentime to this absolutely wretched OC. Were we supposed to find his cowardly antics funny? I don't get it 
In the theatrical cut he just exits the movie trying to escape a siege dressed as a lady with a bunch of loot stuffed in his bra. In the extended cut he hides in a catapult, still in drag, and accidentally gets launched into the mouth of a hideous CGI troll thing which kills both of them. The scene is so bad it doesn't even work as a cathartic comeuppance. Entirely worthless character in a horrid trilogy of movies
The hobbit movies were irredeemably bad. Like if they had stopped with the first one it would have been 'meh.' A kind if sad last stop on the lotr train. The second and third movies were such massive turds their terrible terribleness reverberates through time and actually makes the original trilogy worse. Like it changes the memories in my head for the worse they were so bad.
The m4 fanedit honestly redeemed the movies for me. It basically cuts the trilogy down to a 4 hour movie thats true to the book and mostly just follows Bilbo.
Cool I'll have to look into it.
