    They are writing in allegory, something Tolkien despised… nothing could be further from faithful to the author of the originally work.

    I’m a 42-year-old Black man who’s read and have all the Tolkien books. When I saw that Don Lemon elf with a fade, I laughed out loud, and then became incredibly angry. How the F*€|< does he have a fade?!?! With the Oster hair clippers of Osgiliath?!?! OMG I want my Tolkien filled with Whwhwhite people!! Characters don’t have to be a certain skin color, especially when LOtR takes place in Europe, before any migration of brown people…

    The Downfall of Numenor wasn't about division, it was about corruption. Elendil and his sons held to the old ways and were uncorrupted, while the Numenorians who followed Sauron's advice went all Game of Thrones, then decided they'd set themselves up as equals to gods.

    I honestly had to pause the video after hearing them mock the fan that brought up the house of Feanor sigil on Galadriel, they went straight into bullying tactics instead of being excited about talking details and that people are that excited they were examining it that closely. Tells me all I need to know about how much they actually care. I get the same energy from these guys as the editor on Star Wars who told a fan to "get a life" when he pointed out how Darth Vader was shooting at Luke before Han Solo showed up to save him and asked where those shots went.

    There were black and female Dwarves in the film The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

    The mere fact that they think a line like "I'm playing the first female dwarf we'll ever see" will get ANY react other than "yeah so? Is that all this character is??"

    I think it’s sad that no one has brought up Tolkien’s personal justification for not adding other ethnicities: he said he didn’t know their history, so he didn’t want to pervert it. And now these writers are bastardizing his work, despite having an open invitation to invent new races into the world of middle earth.

    The Nelywns in Willow are dwarves, and therefore Willow's wife Kiaya would be the first female dwarf on screen while Vohnkar would be the first dwarf of color.

    I went from apathy, to dislike, and now actively hate these liar and the Heard they are leaving on our bed. They have managed to kill any interest even if they do manage to fix season two, and I will be avoiding other projects they work on.

    Tolkien did explicitly say "Elves are pale skinned. Most Elves have dark hair and grey or blue-grey eyes. The Vanyar, the least numerous of the three Kindreds of the Eldar, have blond hair and blue eyes." to me pale skinned means white, I may be wrong, but I have never thought to call a Black man "Pale face!"

    They can still make the show "timeless" by not releasing it!🤣

    The guy they mention "having the privilege working with" is Tom Shippey, that IS the guy they FIRED for defending the lore.

    "Steven Colbert probably doesn't know there were female dwarves shown."

    My favorite scene was when Gandalf called the Eagles on a satellite device asking for them to save Sam and Frodo

    Also, Steven Colbert literally had a cameo in the second Hobbit film, which included female Dwarves in the flashbacks. He should have watched it!

    my take on this is that Amazon is using this series as a virtual signaling tool, movies and TV series have never been the true money maker for them, they can make 100 movie flops and still have money to burn, the Ring of Power series is there to satisfy social media mobs who constantly try to cancel things, and big tech companies don't like being annoyed by these insignificant things

    Feanor killed half of Galadriel's family so he could steal their ships and sail to Middle Earth. It is one of the most important events of the First Age, caused the doom of the Noldor which is a central part of Galadriel's character arc from the First through the Fourth Age when she passes into the West. She would NEVER wear Feanor's crest, gift or not. I seriously doubt he would give her a gift either, as she refused him a gift when she denied him a strand of her hair to make the Silmarils (her gift of three of her hairs to Gimli takes on a new significance). Feanor is extremely petty and definitely holds grudges (one of his defining traits) I have a hard time believing he'd give her anything.

    "We don't serve the men around us, we have a storyline in our own right" Yeah, the moment she said that I gave up all fucking hope. This shit is DOOMED. First off, there are plenty of female characters with individual storylines and agency within LOTR as well as outside of it, this isn't some type of revolutionary change. Secondly, this just goes to show what the actors and writers care about within the show. They don't care about having good characters or an interesting story, they just care about their female characters being important
