According to Enstars on Saturday, Peter Jackson's third film "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", has fans petitioning for the plot to take a different route than that of the J.R.R. Tolkien book. The first major change that was announced with the movie title which was originally "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" and now fans are demanding to change the outcome of Thorin Oakenshield's destiny.
Jackson's change to the title was motivated by the appropriateness of the film as he kept up with it during its course. The director thought since Bilbo was already "there" at the destination of The Lonely Mountain in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", it just didn't seem to be the right fit considering the circumstances of Bilbo. Now "The Battle of the Five Armies" title seems to be an accurate representation of the events about to transpire in the third film.

Thoughtless of the author to want to continue making money off the character by letting him live on ... and on ... and on ...
LOL. What do they want, a Thorin spinoff?
A beautiful story. And then, there's the true translation of what was inscribed on the One Ring:
This Ring, no other, is made by the elves,
Who'd pawn their own mother to grab it themselves.
Ruler of creeper, mortal and scallop,
This is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop.
The Power almighty rests in this Lone Ring.
The Power, alrighty, for doing your Own Thing.
If broken or busted, it cannot be remade.
If found, send to Sorhed (the postage is prepaid).
We have it, too.
Why was Spam wearing that straw boater, anyway?

> fans are demanding to change the outcome of Thorin Oakenshield’s destiny.
Yeah, and the swan should live in “Swan Lake”, and Romeo and Juliet should have a happy ending.
How about all the other fans who have pleaded with him not to include the major departures from LOTR and The Hobtbit which he had ignored?
Translation: Jackson wants to change the story, and is selectively appealing to the fans who will justify his changes.
So Jackson is going to have Thorin live because women think he’s hot?
These women are probably not ones I’d take home to meet the folks, anyhow.
Fluke Starbucker: Jeepers! What is it, Augie Ben Doggie? Did you feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced?
Auggie Ben Doggie: No, just a little headache.
