re: Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power trailers (updated with new comic con trailer)

Galadriel wasn't a warrior... at all, but the zeitgeist demands a female hero. There were no black elves or hobbits, but again. Dwarf women had beards; Not happening. There is only one Durin alive at a time, but there are two in the show, lore be damned. I'm sure there will be gay characters shove down our throats (pun intended), but that doesn't bother me. Doesn't change much story. The race changes are just silly because they don't even make sense from a geographical/anthropological perspective.

Aren't those big footed peeps Hobbits towards the end?
Technically yes. One thing I've noticed is that they have been careful not to use the word Hobbit, though. They keep calling them Harfoots (which is just a breed of Hobbit). Also, there is no record of Hobbits existing in the Second Age. That doesn't mean some early form of Hobbit didn't exist then, being that they're believed to be an offshoot of the race of Men. But this just seems to be them playing fast and loose with the lore.

Well I was 11-13 years old when they came out. I also Loved the books. I just Read the Hobbit aloud to my then in utero child.
At no point ever reading the books did I think: these would be ruined if Frodo was black.
You miss the forest for the trees. Consistently. It can be a good enjoyable show based on Tolkein’s works while having black actors. It can be a good and not be a page by page remake of the silmarillion.
You haven’t seen any of this show. You’re upset because you’re a douche.

The portrayal of Galadriel and Celebrimbor in the limited footage so far just throws me for a loop.
Celebrimbor is one of the biggest badasses in the LOTR universe and this is what we get:

Tell me why exactly your upset about the black actors then?
I was implying you’re petty dogmatic and shallow at best you inferred I was Calling you racist.
I wasn’t upset with the all white original trilogy, I’m not upset now. it’s not as important as the themes and narrative.
To me at least

The production value is there, I’ll give it that.

You spent the past 3 pages saying, not implying, that everyone who disagrees with your opinion isn't a fan, while implying they're an idiot unworthy of an opinion. I don't know if you should be employing the "broad strokes" generalization defense.
It does seem like you're actively trying to be a douche right now because the trailer wasn't the crapshow you thought it would be. The show could still be awful, but there's very little to complain about in those two minutes. Maybe not much to be excited about either, for many of you.

That looked like total garbage. You people are crazy saying it looked good. You can find me at the Sonic if you want on this one

You hands laugh. We will have the last laugh. Some of you are more interested in pissing off Tolkien and lord of the rings fans than to get an actual good tv show.

Don’t even argue with this. It’s getting to be like pro sports. The original sports fans don’t want that shite in sports but the the woke generation who’s never watched a sports game now are the loudest people in that room

Again, you’re argument that it’s bad is based on people who think it’s good not being “true” or “real” fans.
But also isn’t Sauran supposed to be attractive when he appears as Annatar to the elves?
I am Not going to let someone else make my mind up for me. Not a Amazon panel, not a nerd with a YouTube channel and a wall of action figures.
“I’m not racist, see I liked When People ply their own race!”
If I called You racist it’s because you were being racist. I said Dogmatic petty and shallow At best
But you still can’t tell me what themes the black characters ruin for you

You can not refute my point on the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender which is another high fantasy series with a similar budget that will be released in the next few months but was appropriately cast with an entirely asian and indigenous cast. Not a single white person on the cast and I’d be much more upset if they did that than have a black elf.

They should have never made the Hobbit into 3 movies. I am not feeling this one at all.
