But how does it change the narrative like he said?

How does it change the themes of the work?

There is more to the books than character description

Have I brought this up once in this thread, you woke piece of shite?

You’re also super quick to dismiss any other changes made to anything Peter Jackson made.


Because Jackson was not trying to change the nature or themes of the world. He was explicit this was a love letter to Tolkien and a mere adaptation of it.

quote:

I’m supposed to worship Chris Tolkien but when he says he hates the movies well that’s “understandable” but you don’t give a frick.


It is understandable because it's his father's precious work and Jackson removed a lot of the personal moments from the books. They were things Jackson had to remove, but I can understand from his perspective those were essential.

Again, stop hiding behind Tolkien. Thisnis about your own prejudices.



Nah, I know where I stand and who I am. frick off.

I can't tell if you're acting this dumb or...

There are no black dwarves, hobbits or elves. Not in Tolkien's middle earth.

How does it change the narrative? Because it undercuts the entire concept of what he was writing. Dwarves, for example, are actually the first beings, but were put back to sleep until Elves were awoken.

Mankind has their own story, and even after death, don't share the same fate as Elves. At least none that anyone knows. Men are far more diverse a people, so it makes sense that we'd have different divergent races.

This isn't the case for the other peoples.

Of course, if you read ANY Tolkien, you'd not be asking this question.

Dwarves aren't a club, or some nationality. Nor are Elves, etc... Yes, they are exclusive unto themselves. They're NOT men.

I'm not playing by your rules. Let's assume the casting is perfect, I've still heard more than enough just from the visuals and dialog that this is abominable to his characters and themes. Get the frick out of here with your self loathing white supremacy.

Who cares. This isn’t the first thread.

What themes are changed?

Chris Tolkien didn’t think it was a love letter.

Wow it’s almost like not every aspect a book translates to a movie or show.

It’s weird that you stop understanding that for this show.

Really?

You have?

Just like that?

They released less than 10 minutes of anything and you know it’s an abomination?

Wow.

Not upset about black dwarves =\= hate white people

I actually loved Peter Jackson’s movies. I don’t really care what Christopher Tolkien thinks.

Don’t forget to shower, brush your teeth, and put on some fresh underwear.

So you don’t know what the word narrative means.

Definitely don’t know what a narrative is.

Ok. And if they come in different colors is that not still true (also not narrative)

When your trans white friends tell you that you can’t paint yourself as a black dwarf for the premier.
