War of the Rohirrim actress *jokes* about lack of feminism in Tolkien's trilogy.

At least, I think she's joking about the *Bechdel test, and how the original trilogy failed.
Ungrateful cow plays the lead in a story which Tolkien himself never even GAVE her character a name, she was so unimportant.
Stop coattailing off of giants and trying to clout chase like you earned anything. Ya didn't!
There's a long list of female characters in Tolkien's works, but thankfully, they can't use.
Elbereth Gilthoniel
Luthien Tinuviel
Lady Haleth
Idril Celebrindal
Melian the Maia...
Yet they had to insert a nameless girl into Helm Hammerhand's story, FFS.
*For those who don't know, the Bechdel test was always meant as a joke, a tongue in cheek commentary on women appearing in a movie or show, where 2 or more are on screen, and NOT talking about 'men'.

Is she really a star when she doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page and nobody knows who she is ?

Yeah, to damage it.

She's assuming Hera (unnamed by Tolkien) was a Shield Maden and on par with Eowyn. We don't know that. Tolkien never wrote anything about her. But this movie and the actress inserts herself into the greater saga and talks about how important it is for women to be seen in the overall lore.
She has no clue of what she's saying. She isn't a part of the lore because she's playing the part of unnamed daughter, which has no story.
