But it’s more than that. This is what Celebrimbor is supposed to look like:

Again, I'm not particularly concerned about page-to-screen adaptation in this case.

There were a ton of Game of Thrones characters that did not resemble "what they should've looked like" in ASOIAF descriptions but ended up with some very well-cast individuals. I'm more concerned with how well roles will be acted and portrayed.

I’m sorry, they replaced the most badass and important elf of the Second Age with Liberace. It’s a blatant insult to the fans. It’s not worth giving it a chance.

To each his own.

I’m saying what they’ve done to Celebrimbor would be like casting Dany as a fat green eyed brunette. Celebrimbor’s appearance is actually important, more important for any character other than Galadriel.

---

They took a masculine figure and feminized them to look like some elf eunuch and took a powerfully feminine character and masculinized them.

---

That’s exactly what they did. Such a fricking insult to the character that just what they’ve done to Celebrimbor alone is a deal breaker.

i'm not reading through all 34 pages, so can someone give me the TLDR on whether this show is worth the time based on the first two episodes?

That’s a claim, but tell me how having long black hair helps him craft the rings?

---

The hair color is important due to the history of the Noldor. Fëanor probably made the Silmarils in jealousy of his niece Galadriel hair being able to catch the light of the Trees. He harbored it and demanded a lock of Galadriel’s hair, in which she refused (which is why it’s a huge deal she gave Gimli three locks of her hair). In response he created the Silmarils to harbor the light of the trees which Morgoth later steals starting the whole shite show of the War of the Jewels and the War of Wrath.

So hair color started all this shite. That’s how important it is. The House of Fëanor have hair as black as night, and it’s fricking blasphemous that Celebrimbor is a blonde aged effeminate twink when he was the most masculine of all the elves in Middle Earth at that time.

I asked What was important about their hair color and you talked about 2 other characters hair color.

Also, calling him an effeminacy twink is borderline psychotic. He’s a normal looking middle aged man. You’re a fricking lunatic.

Yeah he was kind of known for his fricking armor, specifically forging. You’ve got Celebrimbor forging you’re armor, you’re good to go in battle.

---

You know what blacksmiths don’t wear while forging armor, armor. Most people don’t wear armor a majority of the time. If he shows up in the robes in a battle scene complain alway.

And again, you called Charles Edwards an effeminate twink. Which is just a fricking crazy opinion.

quote:

---

Yeah, frick off on your semantics. You might as well be saying “Nuh uh, he doesn’t wear armor when he goes to bed.” All you’ve got is semantics, you Woke piece of shite.

---

You’re the one crying about him not being in armor.

And I bring Up the twink part to point out how fricking unhinged and removed from reality your complaints are

quote:

---

He’s in a fricking dress though.

You mean kind of like this?
