watch this movie beggining with 42:31.

"Azog's Army" ="Azog - Commander of Legions" (wargs,orcs,wereworms...) are a metaphor for "The Voice".

Azog the "Defiler"

Pirates of the Carrabien : Dead men tell no tales

Carina:The memory of my father will not be "befouled" by the tongue of a pirate.
befouled=((Old English bef?lan(“to befoul, defile”))
Silent "Mary"=Azog's "Army"



Thorin="Dwarfs"="Balrog"="Dragon"

Thorin , a person with weak psyche , awakens evil spirits:Balrog and Dragon(Smaug).



THORIN/FATHER

The scene where Gandalf is fighting Balrog is simetrical to the scene where Han Solo fights Kylo Ren and it reveals Balrog's identity(Balrog is a evil spirit(act of vengence) awakened by Thorin , son of Gandalf).

THORIN/BALROG

The scene where Balrog is dragging Gandalf to hell is similar to Kubo pulling he's mother to heavens.

THORIN/DRAGON

This movie explains that the Dragon(Smaug) is an evil spirit(curse) that is "awakened" by Thorin when he discovers the
treasure.

DAIN's ol' TWIRLY-WHIRLIES

Dain apears ridding a "pig" at he’s cosin(/or brother) call to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and throws the ol' twirly-whirlies(spinning arrows) at Thranduil's army ,that means that Dain wants Thorin's treasure and he wants to be crowned king, the spinning arrows are a metaphor for treachery/trickery.

The treachery/trickery theme appears in other movies like The Gladiator :
