Lord of the Rings characters: screen time vs mentions in the book.

The further from the dotted line, the further off trend.

By reddit user austinw-8 https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/s/Dw7XqDxyEB

A scatterplot depicts major characters from Lord of the Rings plotted by number of mentions in the books (x axis) and screen time in the films (y axis). A trendline reveals that Arwen, Theoden, Legolas & Aragon are over-represented in the movies. While Sam, Gimli, Denethor and others are under-represented.

@span infobeautiful honestly what this says most to me is… they did pretty good job? Yes they left out poor ol Tom Bombadil but otherwise, pretty decent adherence.

@infobeautiful more like a Peter Jackson slow clap line because he nailed it so well

@infobeautiful Is this a proper regression line? Why is it not crossing the origin? As it is now, characters who are neither in the books, nor in the movies, are categorized as underrepresented. Which makes myself underepresented in the #LOTR movies.

@infobeautiful To be fair, Tom Bombadil is a whole movie in itself.
