Serious question...
If depictions like this bother you so much, how in the world do you find ANYTHING to watch? Not saying I agree with it but I've pretty much come to accept it because it's literally in EVERYTHING now, including commercials. If you truly want to avoid all of it, there's pretty much nothing you can watch. |

The problem is that a lot of historical documentaries are full of white-washing and post-modern revisionism too. You literally can't escape it anymore.

Just seems dumb. They're not going to top those movies. What's the ****ing point?

Millions will watch and they won't care if it's accurate, woke, stupid, brilliant, etc.
It's Middle Earth. It's like churning out Star Wars or Marvel shows. Not all of them are great but all of them are popular. It's a top tier franchise. |

Yup. Plus with not a ton of source material, they can be loose with the story. Look at the abomination that Peter Jackson put out known as the Hobbit trilogy. He's excellent and still put out that trash in spite of source material. I fully expect this series to be just as bad, yet just as popular.

Even if he had, which he didn’t, how does that change anything with regards to the story? It has the same impact as a different color shirt. The fact that people care about the skin color of made up races is ****ing bizarre. |

Amazon did this with Wheel of Time also...and it didn't work. It felt forced and distracting...had to have a lesbian scene, gay characters...every racial demographic accounted for. Social inclusivity trumped making a quality product. It was propaganda embedded into a fantasy series.. I realize this concept may be confusing to some... |

It's only when it's obviously forced and out of context...that it becomes racism veiled as inclusion/woke. Last edited by BlackOp; 02-10-2022 at 09:30 PM.. |

I'm just telling you, that miscasting is a red flare for calculated "wokeness". Dont say you weren't warned...and temper your expectations. |
