DIVERSITY WOKE PC LORD OF THE RINGS???!




Aside from not being faithful to Tolkien, this just looks like a dog.

WTF!?

The first pic looks like someone that ate Legolas and second looks like a guy that wants to bang Legolas.

And when it does, it'll be attributed to "muh racism".

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure if she's a dwarf, she should have a beard.

EDIT
They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart.

The Return of the King: Appendix A - III Durin's Folk


For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike; nor indeed can their womenkind be discerned by those of other race...

It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men.

And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!

Hot take - this is going to be garbage.

I've seen the ad on Amazon for this - now I know that I needn't waste my time. I'd rather finally read The Similarrion, the only one of Tolkien's books of this series that I have not read.

Read it. It's really freaking awesome. But it literally stars at creation and mythology of the gods, so takes some time to heat up.

Actors are supposed to play people they aren't.

This bothers me zero. And those of you it does bother, you're position is no better than people complaining that the voice of Simba (an imaginary talking lion) should be voiced by a black person, because talking lions are only… black people, I guess.

Are you also offended they are letting humans play elves?

I do, however, hope they don't ruin it with a glorification of sin. Tolkien would surely disapprove.

What a stupid take, it's silly and unfaithful to the source material to have modern diversity in middle earth.

I've heard that it is a tough read to get started, which is probably why it has been sitting on my bookshelf since I bought it way back around the time the first Hobbit movie came out.

You aren't reading and addressing my points.

"Silly" is saying only elves should play elves.

"Silly" is saying the melanin in an actor's skin should determine what roles they can play.

If you go down that road, eventually the only capable person of playing a historical figure is that person themself.

"Silly" indeed.

Specifically, it's dumber than that, because JRRT's entire legendary cycle was written as the creation myth for *a very specific part of the world*, not all of humanity worldwide. Can't wait to turn this off immediately if it sucks as hard as it looks like it will.

They're not historical figures. They're well defined (by the author) races of children of the children of god in middle earth, dwarf races (children of a lesser god), and beings corrupted by evil lesser gods.

One can put on elf ears. it wouldn't be well received to put on white makeup, but that's the costume.

Elves aren't real.

Skin color absolutely determines which roles an actor can play. Can a white guy play Othello or Frederick Douglass? Can a black guy play Abraham Lincoln or the King of England?

If you zoom in, she has some chops. But yeah, it should be a full on beard like Gimli

I do think dwarves should only play dwarves. But Peter Dinklage already got mad at that for Snow White, so I don't think he will play Gimli. We should probably just get Spock to play Legolas
