In the Hobbit trilogy we had black people at Lake Town and a ridiculous fem-fu elf acting out Biden's interracial love routine (Elf-Dwarf love). Not to mention the 'gravity-defying' stunts and other physics 101 failures. Peter Jackson may not have the right 'Tolkien'esque' sensibilities after all.
And don't forget, that ridiculous one-armed Orc was his doing as well.

Del Toro was directing The Hobbit to begin with, Jackson had to take over after 18 months of work had already lapsed.
Jackson had said that del Toro's sudden exit created problems as he felt he had a very little preparation time remaining before shooting had to begin, with unfinished scripts and without storyboards, which increased the difficulty to direct it. Jackson stated, "Because Guillermo del Toro had to leave and I jumped in and took over, we didn't wind the clock back a year and a half and give me a year and a half prep to design the movie, which was different to what he was doing. It was impossible, and as a result of it being impossible I just started shooting the movie with most of it not prepped at all. You're going on to a set and you're winging it, you've got these massively complicated scenes, no storyboards and you're making it up there and then on the spot."
They were filmed at the same time and released at different times. If they needed set work they filmed all of the scenes in that set for all the movies, ECT. It's not as easy to get out of that quagmire as it seems.
All that said, I got really tired of the Dwarves = Scots joke. When Billy Connolly showed up I wondered if Craig Ferguson just wasn't available at the time. It was obvious they wanted a lighter movie than LotR but didn't take the time to figure it all out before filming.
Who would even want to know about the fraught development process of The Hobbit trilogy after the absolute disappointment that it was. Not only that, but it's been years and it would appear that it was Jackson's decision to add a third film, to what was originally a two-parter.
For the Lord of the Rings movies, they filmed most of it back-to-back, and then took a year editing what they had between movies. I expect that the Hobbit movies followed the same trend, with everything being filmed at once.
Many things wrong with that movie. Worse was that I felt no tension, had some funny parts but it felt more like a marvel movie with dwarfs and hobbits then LotR
Not just black, but asians as well. And the camera pans to them and lingers as if to show the audience "look, POCs! See, we aren't racist!" after an indian woman who tried to play a hobbit got told that she didn't fit the bill so she went to the media and made a stink. It was the beginning of this rot that has set in since.

That explains the first movie but how do you explain the second and third? ;)

For someone who thinks they know a lot about the franchise it's funny that you don't even know how they filmed the movies.
Both trilogies were filmed back to back over about 18 months.

It was like watching someone else badly playing a shitty game on Youtube. Needed a lot more commentary to make it interesting.
It begs for the MST3K treatment.
There's a fun idea.
