Meh. I can understand people being annoyed because fantasy is a genre of fiction where different races actually do exist unlike the real world. It's also a genre with ancient origins so you are going to see examples of racism bleeding through the pages, in subtext if not clearly stated. I watched Danzel Washington play MacBeth in The Tragedy Of MacBeth a while ago. At no point did I give a single **** that a black guy was playing MacBeth. He was freaking awesome in it. The guy is a bad ass actor. Probably my favorite current one. So if these dipshits put on a good show then no one will care. If it's shitty then it will be just one more thing to bitch about.

It will be so immersive watching Galadriel dual wield lightsabers while shouting this is Sparta.

I just remembered, didn't Claydolf The Incel make some posts about the Orcs being too "white" due to wokeism and Hollywood's message that whitey is bad? I'm not gonna go digging for it but im 110% positive i had that conversation with that beta.
The dwarves are too black! The elves are too gay! The orcs are too white! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Adaptations are going to take some liberties. Hell, Aragorn is described as 6'6" in the books. Viggo Mortenson is 5'11". Clay won't even deny that he's a racist outstanding citizen, nor will BleedingRed, so they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Bump probably would but his feelings on this are too strong. I don't buy it. "They should write their own fantasy stories so we don't have to see them in ours!" lol that is 100% not something a non-racist person says. |

It's pretty simple.
Either the show turns out to be good/great, and the diversity push is a non-issue, or it's a disaster, which would make it obvious that the showrunners are more worried about diversity than making a great show. I'm personally excited to watch on Friday, but I'm still cautiously optimistic in terms of expectations. |

I also want to point out that from fans, the complains go well beyond a black elf.
Making Galadriel a warrior is a perfect example of one of the other red flags. It also doesn't help when the showrunners and Amazon themselves are using the diversity push as a huge selling point. |
