Those castings were fantastic and absolutely perfect.

You know what the Director and Producer didn't do? Tell everybody that they casted those two because of "diversity". They casted them because they were the best for the role. It had absolutely nothing to do with race. They didn't make it about that, so it never was about that.

Stop shoving propaganda and modern politics down our throat and just give us great content, especially with these beloved franchises. If it's good, you can cast whoever the **** you want with likely very little bitching. There might be a few complainers, there always will be, but you certainly won't have to hide behind "review bombing".
It's almost as though the viewing public sees through the DEI bullshit hollywood uses to mask terrible writing.

i thought the 2nd episode was better, i hope it gets rolling though because it has been pretty boring so far. The black elf and the woman are the best characters so far.

Forgot to mention; I like the idea of PTSD Gladriel. It makes her more of a compelling character. They aren't exactly nailing it but it's interesting.

I was so bored watching this, that I honestly didn't even catch the racial aspect of the scene with the white dude and the black elf until it was pointed out on a YT video I just watched.

Please don't try to tell me that wasn't a perfect example of the writers/showrunners not being capable of keeping their politics out of the storyline of a ****ing fantasy show.

It's not enough to cast a black elf, they have to introduce him in the most on the nose fashion imaginable.

Meh. I havent finished Episode 2 yet (mostly finished with it though) and so far idk what all the hoopla is over.

Thus far i've enjoyed the world they created. None of the characters bother me. I haven't been bored with it. Looks like Lord of the Rings to me.

So I finally got through the first 2 episodes.

It’s pretty meh.

There are some absolutely fantastic visuals. I mean brilliant. In a world where I hear the VC houses are overworked and that’s why some of the production looks like shit these days, this absolutely does not.

Fact is, I’m having trouble buying in. I know the endgame and it’s hard to put stakes in when I know what happens. I’m having a similar problem with House if the Dragon, but to a much lesser degree. The characters seem more compelling in HOD. Fact is I dug Elrond in the dwarf palace and that’s really it. I’m not buying any of the tension they’re trying to seed. It’s just visuals. We’ll see. It’s not horrible to the point I’m out but it’s tough to be in just yet.

I couldn’t give a **** about the race of who’s who. Didn’t read the books. Don’t care.

HOWEVER

Since it’s a thing, and I’m an asshole all I could think was

Spoiler!




Yep. Off to hell I go.
