What changes you would have tolerate? is adding black elves ok if they were good characters? would the show have been better with only white characters in it? would all of them being black improve the show maybe? is it a racism thing even?
Also i know i'm risking so much by posting this photo but sharing is caring so here you go anons, enjoy.
They could have cast niggers and other shitskins without polluting the lore. But they didn't.
Adam Myers
No problem with that, add all the niggers and mary sues you want just stick to the damn lore and don't go raceswapping or genderbending for diversity points
The problem with Tolkien's work is that it's an insult to treat it as a brand with a "fandom" like Marvel or Star Wars slop. His books were much more deliberate than throwing some guys with funny names into a fantasy world and having them fight each other. Much more deliberate than media that bets the farm on having epic twists to keep audiences glued to their TVs. Jackson's films, while good in their own right, invited in a certain audience that started to treat Tolkien's work as a facet of "nerd culture," and this Amazon series is the natural, cynical response to that. The problem for Amazon is that Tolkien's audience in general is uniquely positioned to spot this cynicism. It was never going to be good, and any fan with his head on straight new this, so now it's dependent on, again, the obnoxious nerds who make the LotR films a facet of their identities, right next to Star Trek and Batman.

They could have set the stoy in Harad or used people form those southern lands like Morgan Freeman was used in Robin Hood >would all of them being black improve the show maybe? no is it a racism thing even? no Show would still be awfully written budget porn with an unfeminine warrior galadriel unworth watching, mind you
Liam Perry
You are right. But it's still wrong and anti-art and anti-people to rape all those other "nerd brands"

I don't care about the changes because I'm not a nerd faggot, and I have sex
Nicholas Robinson
You care lot, judging by your post. Not about the show, but about people rejecting it. Also lol at the idea that you could have sex even if offered

The changes are fine. They remain faithful in spirit to Tolkien's works, and ultimately that's what matter
Tolkien is alive and says rings of power is great >lol what does he know? >senile old man >i wonder how much bezos paid him to say that
Andrew Moore
like the ones from better call saul, breaking bad, sopranos? OH WAIT
Gabriel Edwards
this only happened in your mind tho
Jeremiah Cruz
wow good one bro you're so clever
Blake Wood
yes but you know very well it would do be like that
James Wood
>is adding black elves ok if they were good characters? No. >would the show have been better with only white characters in it? Yes. >would all of them being black improve the show maybe? No. >is it a racism thing even? Yes, racism against whites.
All of you saying "Hurr durr add niggers but stick to the lore" know fuckall about the lore. Adding blacks fucks with the lore because there ARE black people in the universe (Gollum mentions people to the South of Middle-Earth that are black, not just swarthy), they just aren't in these stories. Blacks can safely play orcs, since their behaviors sync.

>black elves No.
There is plenty of room in the cannon to introduce black cultures, and any other culture. However, "black elves" is dumb as fuck as elves have already been established to be of fair skin. "Black elves" makes as much sense as purple lions.
Jordan Bell
That's just your poor opinion
Liam Phillips
Even if it happened, it's the art that speak for itself. Once the artpiece is created, not even the creator has the last word. That's what meas treating art as art and not as a product
Jackson Cooper
Yes, an opinion 100% aligned with facts and therefore true
Kevin Howard
Not really aligned with facts, just with your assumptions and biases
Nathaniel Price
It wouldn’t be better if the cast was all white, but it would indicate that the creators actually gave a shit about appropriate casting. The problem begins with the “woke” mindset which poisons every aspect of the creative process. A good, honest show can not be created under the conditions that are required for these productions. If RoP was created in good faith free of the woke poison everything would be better, and the cast being white would just be a side note.
James Morales
Tolkein was radically anti-racist for his time period and openly condemned the eugenic racial views of the third reich. I'm not saying he would approve of black elves but he'd absolutely condemn the reasons you're upset about them.
Ayden Moore
All productions reflect their production environments. More non-white people work in Anglo film productions, so of course they also get roles. Most people in real life don't care about any of this.
Matthew Martinez
they should've changed the rings to necklaces
Thomas Jenkins
Absolutely retarded take because he was obsessed with writing rhe racial lines of wvery rave he created. He recorded the geology of every major house of every major race, all their characteristics, and even the history of where everyone migrated from in excruciating detail. Race was extremely important in his world building and contradicts everything you're trying to imply
