I just watched the trailer. There were probably 25 people shown and they were all white. Why are you so triggered by the sight of one Puerto Rican dude? lol

Are you projecting?

Or are you unable to catch the fact that the casting for this takes you out of the setting?

Or did Hobbits just murder all the black hobbits before the third age?

It's not needed, thats the point. I would say the same shit if black panther was casted as a white guy.

You can watch a show with orcs, goblins, wizards and dragons but a Puerto Rican dude is where you draw the line lol

Just say you're racist and you don't like non-whites so we can stop talking.

I have not heard good things about this, unfortunately. I was kind of looking forward to it.

I don't care about black dwarves or gay elves (lets be honest, elves are pretty gay even if they're "straight").

I didn't read any of the books nor am i invested in the lore.

I just hope they can deliver a competent story that keeps me engaged. To which i must say i am doubtful of.

I've read all the books and I still don't care if dwarves are black or elves are gay. Tolkien wasn't concerned about it either - it's immaterial to the story actually.

They're doing a remake and many of us read the books and watched the original movies. Show some respect to the original if you're going to use the title.

I read both Wiseguy and watched Goodfellas. One of my favorite stories of all time.

How about if someone remade the story with Robert De Niro's character as a cross dresser, Joe Pesci's character as a flaming gay (ala Richard Simmons), Henry Hill as a transvestite, and Big Paulie as a crippled bi-sexual.

Respect the lore if you're going to use the title or don't piggyback off it.

The books went into great detail about individual characters but they didn't definitively delineate "race" other than human, dwarf, elf, etc.

Don't recall any references to sexual preference, being transgender, or any LGBTQ themes either.

Don't care about color of their skin. It's woke agenda pushing. Don't piggy back off the title if you're going to bastardize the lore.
