This is now apparently what elves and dwarfs look like in Middle-earth.

Sure, people who live underground in caves are notorious for melanin production.

Was there ever really a chance that it could be any other way? It's fucking Amazon, for Christ's sake.

I just hope it is absolutely terrible so other companies finally get the message that diversity inclusion equity BS is a costly mistake.

They're described in the books.

Guess what? They're the opposite of what this show depicts.

As I recall, the South African man who wrote the story, depicted the elves as tall, slender, soft featured, blonde people.

Actually, Feanor is described as raven-haired with piercingly bright eyes and his sons are all dark-haired or redheads, with most of them having grey eyes.  And there are different elves, the Noldor, Sindar, and Teleri who have different general characteristics.  There is plenty of room for diversity in a story that more accurately tracks the books; but of course, Amazon didn’t do that.  Which tells you how much interest they have in fidelity to the original stories.

And while he was born in the Orange Free State to English parents, he moved back to England when he was 3.

That's okay. They're going to do a sequel of 'Black Panther'.

Brad Pitt will be the new lead.

Oh for fuck sakes.... I'm glad I have a nice stock pile of books I want to read because there isn't anything on TV worth the shit anymore or they haven't ruined in the sake of fucking diversity.

But you haters forget that way south of Gondor was the illustrious kingdom of Wakandoria. Melkor sent his bestie, young Sauron, to destroy it in the First Age. It's peoples, the ones that survived, fled north and were absorbed into those kingdoms. The rest were captured and corrupted in Angband prison. This explains why orcs you see revived by Sauruman were dark skinned. Orcs were corrupted southern Elves.

This was never chronicled by the men of the West because what young Sauron and Melkor did to those good peoples was too horrible to even record... Duh.

Tolkien created the LOTR world as a mythology for one that didn't exist for the British Isles.  All of his characters reflected this.  The "diversity" imposed in this is like having Caucasian Samurai or Incas or Zulu.

They could have made the show about the East and the blue wizards if they were capable of writing anything.

The show runners only wrote Star Trek Discovery before this.

Diversity means less White people.

It is antiwhite propaganda created specifically because it is a piece of European artwork that appeals to White people who see in the work a reflection of the sufferings of their own nations under a Sauron like corruption.

That’s different as he was a Caucasian that played a Caucasian, who lives with native Japanese Samurai. Not a Caucasian that lived with native Caucasian samurai, who obviously never existed. That’s what they’re doing with Lord of the Woke.
