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.
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.OG UNF said:
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.

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

You aren't reading and addressing my points.
"Silly" is saying only elves should play elves.
"Silly" is saying the melatonin 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.
