Maybe because Gimli had all the dwarf screentime, where in The Hobbit they had to divide it amongst 13 of them.

The trilogy that shall not be named would be better off forgotten. It is complete trash and has no business being connected to the greatest trilogy ever.

...are you being facetious, or...

Gimli got all the dwarf screentime, sure, but the Hobbit trilogy is also like eight hours of dwarf footage as opposed to just cutting to Gimli for a wisecrack now and then. There was WAY more opportunity for an awesome dwarf character in the Hobbit than LotR, but John Rhys-Davies and the Gimli character were just so, so far better.

The early makeup tests for the dwarves in the Hobbit looked very close to the dwarves in LOTR. For some strange reason, they changed it to the weird designs we ended up with.

I honestly have always been sort of ambivalent about the LOTR movies, but I've always been a massive fan of the book The Hobbit, and I liked the new trilogy so much better.

So...conservation of ninjitsu, applied to dwarves?

Is that why there are no female dwarves?

Certainty of death. Small chance of success.
