lets see if I recall correctly the number of settlements destroyed in the hobbit:
>erabor
>dale
>esgaroth
>dale (again; turned into even more ruin)
thorin, his father, his father's father, and his two nephew's fíli and kíli were all slain by ahzag
So, it isnt as I first assumed that the bad guys were just beaten mercilessly, but what happened was the orcs inflicted severe devastation and although the "good guys" won, it was really devastating pyrrhic victories in the end.
so all in all its acceptable. death and destruction occurred
rivals fought like mad dogs with eachother and legolas recieved quite the beating by bolg at esgaroth lol
I hate those smug knife ear shits
