There are a couple fan mashups you can download on the internet of all 3 movies squeezed into a single one, but with all the non-canon scenes removed. I think that the most famous of those is "The Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit". Instead of having an overinflated 9+ hour trilogy filled with ridiculous scenes like a Radagast rabbit-sled chase, asinine and useless love stories and crossdressing, you get a single condensed 4h30 movie. It's a much better experience overall, with the only real downside being sometimes having shortened day-night cycles.
I've seen the Tolkien Edit, and I'm a fan. It's definitely a bit jarring at times, but it's very watchable.
I've said this before. I hated Tauriel. I'm pretty much a purist, and I thought the addition was stupid (tbf, there are many additions to the Hobbit movies that are stupid). A friend of mine had a daughter who was maybe 8-9 when the movies came out. She became a huge Tauriel fan, read the Hobbit, read the Lord of the Rings, etc. I would rather have a small bit player added to the story, a small inconsequential character who doesn't really change anything, than doing what Hollywood normally does--taking random female character and making her an empowered (probably raceswapped poc) bossbitch.
So today, I basically just ignore Tauriel.
At least they picked Kate from Lost when she was still decently hot instead of an ugly negress - like the "Julietz"
