Don't know if it has been posted, but Elrond is being portrayed as gay, apparently.

I've not followed other posts which I'm not involved. Meant no offense. but honestly didn't keep up with your bona fides on the topic.


No worries. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some on here but I do love Tolkiens work. So I'm defensive of it but also trying to stay just slightly open minded about this show. That's why I was reading up on the Galadriel as a warrior type stuff.

I liken it to when 2nd hand fans (or normies) hear things like 'baby Yoda' and assume someone is talking about Yoda as an actual baby... Yes, that's happened to me once.


My old neighbor got a tattoo before the show was finished airing of who he thought was baby Yoda. Tattoo serious is a picture of Grogu with "baby yoda" written underneath. Dead serious.

Driven away by balrogs and ate herself in the first age.

I haven't watched it yet, but Nerdrotic Gary did a midnight review stream after seeing it in a theater. Called it a disaster. I'm watching the video now.

I KNOW. My point remains.

There’s always the chance of a Shelob sighting, though, right?

Shelob is a distant granddaughter who doesn't show up until the 3rd age.

There are no 'all white' versions. There's only Tolkien's work and how he chose to tell the story. You DO need to get over it, because Tolkien isn't changing any of it. And never will.


1. I was talking about Jackson’s version which has predominantly white actors (some Maori actors but mostly in heavy makeup)

2. I have NEVER said the books need to change. I have Never said the show needs to have black characters. I have NEVER said I wanted This. My point has always been this isn’t that big a deal and doesn’t inherently ruin the work.

In this case, it's been demonstrably proven that it is.


Citing OTHER opinions doesn’t make your opinion a fact. The FACT is you haven’t seen this show.

Nope that has always been my position.

If you think I’m lying go through my search history.

You all made up some straw man argument.
