Talk:Thorin
Thorin is a Dwarf, who's average height is 4 to 5 feet. And yet in the movie trailer for "The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey" the actor is portraying him looks a little taller.—Unsigned comment by MattTheRanger (talk • contribs).

Height[edit source]
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles - Creatures and Characters, a book released by WETA, contains a Character Size Chart and Thorin is said to be 4' 10 1/2" or 1,49 cm. He is the second tallest dwarf after Dwalin. --Sandy 11:55, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- As that's from an adaptation that is not canonical. It could be included in the "Portrayal in adaptations" section, though. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 12:01, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- I am not saying that this is canonical. It is a response to MattTheRanger who says that Thorin seems rather tall in the adaptation. However, I have similar information from official Weta books concerning most of the characters from the Hobbit films. Should I add them under "Portrayal in Adaptations"? --Sandy 12:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Portrayal in adaptations[edit source]
Why is there a entry for the trilogy as well as each individual film? --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 15:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Obviously the trilogy entry presents generic information while individual entries present plot or specific information. This makes sense, although the generic information could be moved under the entry of the first film, if you think it'd be tidier that way. Sage 17:47, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Take a look at some other film characters. This is hardly the first time this has been done. I didn't do it for Fíli and Kíli because they're more minor characters. --BalrogTrainer 23:34, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Rule year[edit source]
His father Thrain indeed died in 2850 as witnessed by Gandalf. But I doubt that the Dwarves would appoint Gandalf to discover Thrain's whereabouts to appoint the next king. Thrain had been captured 5 years earlier; Thorin might been enthroned that year. Unless we can supposed that for some custom they refused to appoint a new king until Gandalf notified them of Thrain's death, so Thorin was enthroined that year. Are there any words on the matter?

Personality[edit source]
Why doesn't this article explain about Thorin's struggle over his desire for gold? I feel like that is more important than mentioning the he was "Capable of being stubborn..."--Erónèhire 17:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
