As a person of color myself, I literally never felt the need to be represented in Tolkien’s world. What does my ethnicity have to do with English/Norse fantasy history

The first female dwarf we have ever seen? How would we know? They are so alike in voice and appearance as to be indistinguishable from male dwarfs unless you are a dwarf. So what she is saying is she has not read the appendixes, the only document they are getting their material from, or if she has read it, was unable to comprehend it. dwarves are secretive, their language (appart from their battle cry) is secret. their real names are secret. although we know the public name of one female dwarf, Dis, we might have met female dwarves and just not known it. They are not short humans, they are a race of smiths made by Aulë, and are as human as ents which were made by his wife,Yavanna

Just finished binging Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.....the primary cast members have a black commander of the station, a female second-in-command, a female science officer, a Muslim doctor, an alien security officer and an alien running the local bar.

No one complained about the diversity of the cast, they reveled in it. Watch a few episodes and compare it to today's forced cringe diversity nonsense. There IS a difference.
Literally not! Because last time I checked Tolkien has died and no one but him can write more Tolkien... maybe based on Tolkien's but not the original, so she is WRONG... stfu girl. Haha
The delusion is staggering, and the way she is only promoting herself is telling she gives zero shits about Tolkien’s world. Peter Jackson understood Tolkien, he loved the world build by Tolkien and he was respectful of Tolkien’s work.
Cast of this show: "representation, diversity, first blah blah blah..." Audience: "Right, does it have a good story, good characters, what is about?" Jeez, we want an entertaining show, not to know the cast entire life story and "struggles".
Moral of the story: you don’t have to be the same race, ethnicity, or gender to relate and resonate with a character, you need good writing and characters. Which most modern tv shows don’t have, neither does this one.
When she said “This will be their memory of Tolkien” all I could think was “then Tolkien is rolling in his grave and for good measure you gave a finger to Peter Jackson”
Tolkien's been translated into over 50 languages and sold over 150 mil copies (4th most for a work of fiction behind Don Quixote, Tale of Two Cities and Count of Monte Cristo) So pretty accessible I'd say.
"Moving forward" while adapting a work of classic fiction? It shouldn't be your job to modernize or "fix" any aspect of Tolkien's work. It should be your job to make a faithful adaptation to the original authors intent or not make it at all. If you don't like the work as originally laid out then you should leave it alone. I'd rather have no TV show than this. That goes for you too, Wheel of Time!
You know if they really wanted to have cultural diversity maybe you could’ve explored the lore surrounding the haradrim or easterlings, hell the haradrim were a culture that drew inspiration from many different real life African cultures, wouldn’t it make more sense to have them played by black actors plus if you really wanted diversity why not cast an actual bearded lady to play the girl dwarf seeing as how both in the books and movie they are said to have facial hair as well heck we see several In the beginning of the hobbit and if you look close youn can very clearly see they all have beards I mean it’s not it would be hard to find one either. Seriously if they actually cared about different cultures they would have expanded upon these different ethnic groups.
The problem with these people is that they keep acting even when the cameras are off. They're not just trying to act in a fantasy world, they seem to be living in a fantasy too.
Is funny to see how the actors/adult pretenders react to all the garbage she’s spewing. Is like listening to a gender studies lecture. The cringe is unmatched 🤦🏾♂️
This is bad, this is only identity politics is Just bad, respect the history and CANON of Tolkien. Thats what we want to see nad not this gender ideology.
LOTR had been accessible for everyone since the beginning. I just hope the "new" fans will see through this and do their own research. She is promoting herself and not the story (if there is one). This is just awful
No, little people are humans, I think it‘s good that technology advanced enough that we can depict them like a part of a drama without them having to be relegated to fantasy roles….Peter Dinklage as Tyrion comes to mind…my favorite character in GOT
Great job in putting this together. I'm sure it wasn't easy to have to witness at this loathsome beast for the length of time it took.

“What did we learn about women Dwarves?” “That they exist teeheehee.” Gimli tells us they exist in the OG trilogy. He also explains how they have a beard and can’t be told from the male Dwarves by most other races. All she cares about is her own bullshit.
I love Tolkien so much. I never had any faith that they would do justice to his books in this show and now, listening to these vapid, self aggrandizing actors talk about how woke this show is... Im not surprised at all. Hollywood needs to burn down.
Im just replying to myself here because I wanted to add... The women that Tolkien wrote are brave, strong and noble. His female characters are so amazing already!
@@Warriorsfan540 yes excatly, as a woman Tolkien womans meant so much to me. They were all strong, but in different way, so every woman could find what she was looking for. Eowyn fought against stereotypical woman role, but did not make her less woman. Galadriel was most powerful elf, yet she was gentle, lady-like and very intelligent and definitely did not need a sword to show her strenght. Arwen who had to make very difficult choice, that I would not be able to make - She is the bravest of them all, to give up family and life to be with man she loves, while she was not certain that he and the world will survive. (Excuse my language, I am not an english speaker).
They made elfs black, dwarves black, humans black, males as toxic and arrogant and women like heroic godesses without equals. They made orcs whiter than milk and they argue like children wresteling/hugging with their elven slaves instead of just killing them whenever they refuse to work or nitpick tiny things.. This show is a disaster that should be removed from all screens and those involved should face lifetime in jail for their massacre,
that woman has single handedly made sure no one is going to watch the show. before she started running her mouth NON-STOP maybe some of the die hard Tolkien optimists would have watched but she has turned every single fan of Tolkien, fantasy and entertainment in general away.
What does she mean with diversity? We have elfs, dwarfs, men, hobbits, wizards, balrogs, trolls, goblins, orcs, dragons in a story that takes place in a European mythological setting. That's not diverse enough?
You know, I've never seen someone on TV with severe psoriasis. Where's my representation?! Oh yeah, I don't need it because I'm not a narcissistic prick or feel the need to destroy something that others love.
@@gonzaloarvietti4920 Perhaps us latinos could play Southerners, Ents, Orcs... it just needs to be something that makes sense in the story and not shoehorned. I know I'd love to have my face CGI'd into a cool ent character. This show is an insult to the memory of Tolkien. Just terrible.
I think she's happy that wah-men are being cast in a show for the first time in history. This is truly amazing. She's also the first black woman to ever be an actor. You go girl.
When Sauron said ''Life is like a chest of rings of power... you never know what you're gonna get.'' I got bumpgooses all over. That moment is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life.
I'm Asian. I don't want to see Asian dwarves or elves in Tolkien's world. We're good with Norwegian/Celtic mythology based fantasy with White races, while there are other races as Easterlings and Harad in the world. If this is where Amazon is headed with Rings of Power, then it's gonna be a train wrecked. I hope it fails!
Someone who is a reporter should just go up to her and say "You are not the first female dwarf" and call her out on this bull that she keeps spewing and render her speechless.
OMG just through this show in the fires of Mount Doom. These people have never seen or read anything Tolkien. If they have to change the story to fit their ideology, then they where never a fan of Tolkien or his works
This is beyond horrible. A was waiting more than 3 or 4 years for this show and it is a total disaster. Btw. Sauron has indeed returned and dwells now in Amaz-dur.
If I would get served a roll on a big movie that I would have felt would be due to diversification, I would have felt a fake, and it would feel like an insult to my acting skills since I would have been chosen on the base of the color of my skin. So understand that these people who accept these roles, are the most selfish yet unaware or might even put up a blind eye on the real reason they have been chosen for this part. Might I even add, the proud is coming from within the fact they have been chosen solely on the base of their skin color. It's sad, and an insult to someone with a real passion for acting who would want to put the best performance on the screen for us to enjoy. Yet people like this, I feel like their accomplishment is already been achieved by just being on a screen as a black skinned woman. End results: the series will stink...
The cast= looks like cosplayers Costumes= looks like blankets Tolkien's rules and Tolkien himself=they ignored him. This show will be the worst show of all times.... WHY THEY İGNORE TOLKİEN , HE İS THE AUTHOR OF THİS STORY THAT YOU PLAY, HELLO?! I hope this show ends before it starts... They will ruin whole Tolkien universe to be "✨Modern✨"....
Now that diversity seems to trump actual talent in every casting session going, the standards for acting have really gone downhill. Forty years ago this 'lady' would've struggled to get the role as the boulder that chased Indiana Jones in that cave, despite being the right shape, build etc.
This is almost like religion isn't it. 1) you state there is a problem. 2) you offer yourself as the resolution of the problem. 3) you call those who don't accept your resolution infidels.
Even this sentence “people finally starring themselves back”… I mean, how arrogant and ignorant and egoistic people must be to actually feel some kind of pleasure or satisfaction. That this is even considered an achievement 🤢🤢🤢
If dwarves primarily live underground, how did they develop all the melanin? Wouldn’t it make more sense to make the human characters more diverse instead of elves and dwarves?
"Read the books. He wrote a lot." Too fucking right love he did... and none of the shit you've shot for this tv show was in it! I'm sorry John, Amazon have quite predictably bastardised your work and let you down.
When I hear activist instead of how great the story is... it means they think the story is rubbish too but you must love it because you're a hater if you question its worth.
This is woman really knows how to overestimate her self importance, it's sad when race and gender is all people have going for them to the point that they can't see themselves beyond the superficial and then make the assumption that everyone else would see it that way aswell. People don't need to always see someone that looks like them doing something for them to be capable of doing the same thing, it's just incredibly foolish to say we have similar teeth or finger nails or body types or...color....now I can do what you do too...
If Fantasy is now reduced to seeing yourself going to and from work being morally depressed with exposition from every NPC encounter with no fluidity of natural character progression and spectacular awe or sense of wonder in sight then. No gracias. Completely Disinterested.
Literally the very first scene of the very first LOTR movie has a woman dwarf in it. She would know that if she watches them. But she hasn’t because she doesn’t care at all about LOTR. She just eats food and wallows in the shallow water of the Nile river valley. (Hippopotamus joke)
3:04 Absolutely not. And I will do everything to show my children the vastness of Peter Jacksons trilogy. I want my sons and daughters to experience what true and meaningful storytelling is. Unless they don't drive cars and the rings are apple watches, don't push false diversity just for the sake of it. If you make up a story about a different race or tribe in middleearth that's fine. Tbh i don't even mind the black dwarf (and honestly noone ever minded powerful female characters in Tolkiens world because their only were powerful females) but a random black silvan elf just for the sake of it, well at leave give him long black hair then...
it's going to be absolutely immersive seeing her in a middle-ages setting and living in a mine. Crop of pallid shroom sure was plentiful recent years...
Why does someone have to be a certain color in order to relate to a character? Doesnt make any sense. Im part asian, but i never ever thought about "oh, that person isn't asian or female, I cant relate to them at all."

@@kristynahelgetova8061 eh the elf is fine, I find him ok
@@bruhmomentum8302 now I agree. He is ok. I dont mind him at all. Galadriel is the problem.
The audacity saying that this will be remembered as tolkien's work lol.
I bloody well hope not.
Literally not! Because last time I checked Tolkien has died and no one but him can write more Tolkien... maybe based on Tolkien's but not the original, so she is WRONG... stfu girl. Haha
The delusion is staggering, and the way she is only promoting herself is telling she gives zero shits about Tolkien’s world.
Peter Jackson understood Tolkien, he loved the world build by Tolkien and he was respectful of Tolkien’s work.
This is necessary!!! Lol its like what, its necessary to destroy tolkiens hard work?
She's unbearable 😫
Cast of this show: "representation, diversity, first blah blah blah..."
Audience: "Right, does it have a good story, good characters, what is about?"
Jeez, we want an entertaining show, not to know the cast entire life story and "struggles".
Because of the generation raised on X Factor maybe?
Moral of the story: you don’t have to be the same race, ethnicity, or gender to relate and resonate with a character, you need good writing and characters. Which most modern tv shows don’t have, neither does this one.
When she said “This will be their memory of Tolkien” all I could think was “then Tolkien is rolling in his grave and for good measure you gave a finger to Peter Jackson”
Tolkien is rolling so fast he has finally entered the speed force
Love it! Hollywood has gone nuts! So many voices in Hollywood and such little talent.
So many voices parroting the same verbal diahrrea.
As a Mexican American Im hoping I can now see in this show my people trimming the forest in the background. It is necessary and revolutionary.
Trimming the forest… and also selling certain substances to Radagast. ;-)
@@Brinta3 as a mexican, i would be disappointed if the latin rangers fron the hoods of Gondor do not get high with Radagast
😂
Tolkien's been translated into over 50 languages and sold over 150 mil copies (4th most for a work of fiction behind Don Quixote, Tale of Two Cities and Count of Monte Cristo) So pretty accessible I'd say.
Exactly my thoughts... she just loves the word accessible I guess hahaha
"Moving forward" while adapting a work of classic fiction?
It shouldn't be your job to modernize or "fix" any aspect of Tolkien's work. It should be your job to make a faithful adaptation to the original authors intent or not make it at all.
If you don't like the work as originally laid out then you should leave it alone. I'd rather have no TV show than this.
That goes for you too, Wheel of Time!
Everything is being blackwashed
You know if they really wanted to have cultural diversity maybe you could’ve explored the lore surrounding the haradrim or easterlings, hell the haradrim were a culture that drew inspiration from many different real life African cultures, wouldn’t it make more sense to have them played by black actors plus if you really wanted diversity why not cast an actual bearded lady to play the girl dwarf seeing as how both in the books and movie they are said to have facial hair as well heck we see several In the beginning of the hobbit and if you look close youn can very clearly see they all have beards I mean it’s not it would be hard to find one either. Seriously if they actually cared about different cultures they would have expanded upon these different ethnic groups.
The problem with these people is that they keep acting even when the cameras are off.
They're not just trying to act in a fantasy world, they seem to be living in a fantasy too.
Amen
This people live in a fantasy but inside are so unhappy. We can notice it
Is funny to see how the actors/adult pretenders react to all the garbage she’s spewing. Is like listening to a gender studies lecture. The cringe is unmatched 🤦🏾♂️
She is acting as though she is Rosa Parks - this represents nothing but the slaughter of a literary classic.
This is bad, this is only identity politics is Just bad, respect the history and CANON of Tolkien. Thats what we want to see nad not this gender ideology.
LOTR had been accessible for everyone since the beginning. I just hope the "new" fans will see through this and do their own research. She is promoting herself and not the story (if there is one). This is just awful
Perhaps the most hilarious part hasn't she basically stolen a part from a little person?
Yo💀💀 . in her mind she's still trial blazing
No, little people are humans, I think it‘s good that technology advanced enough that we can depict them like a part of a drama without them having to be relegated to fantasy roles….Peter Dinklage as Tyrion comes to mind…my favorite character in GOT
@@lynnm6413oh I don't mean they should be relegated to special roles im just pointing out the shows hypocrisy
@@dun0790 Yes, plenty of hypocrisy going on…maybe not the best example you chose
@@lynnm6413 for her it is I think I mean the first female hobbit thing is all she says
Great job in putting this together. I'm sure it wasn't easy to have to witness at this loathsome beast for the length of time it took. I barely made it through 5 mins., but am better off for knowing (of this horror). It's like a discussion of bedsores or, more topically, monkey pox. Anyway, you've inspired me. Thank you for your service, unironically.
Hambeast.
How bout trying to be kind it’s free
@@haydensteven5965 So is articulating my perceptions of reality. What Amazon is doing in RoP is straight-up EVIL, imho. It's not unkind of me to say this.
She’s saying she’s happy to be in the show, and y’all somehow think that means she hates it. You’re pathetic and stupid.
THIS world is NOT Middle Earth- get it through your heads!!!
It is does it really bother you that there are black people seriously 😭
@@adbylsh2756 Nice inability to get the point
MY LIFE IS RUINED!!!! Tolkein stories are holy text for me, anyone who changes them must be destroyed for i have taken a a vow to protect holy tolkein text for the rest of my days, will you join me in my quest? We will die for our lord and master tolkein.
@@adbylsh2756 LOL YEA they cannot stand it, they go on and on about how its about lore and buncha other bs, which they know is BS. They just upset Tolkeins white world has some brown in it now, SOMEONE CALL A WAAAAAMBULANCEEEEEE
@@concernedhomosapien9807 bruh just shut it you sound like a entitled girl who got dumped by their boyfriend...it’s different from Tolkien get over it if you want Tolkien go read the fucking books you don’t have to be a genius to come to that conclusion.
“What did we learn about women Dwarves?”
“That they exist teeheehee.”
Gimli tells us they exist in the OG trilogy. He also explains how they have a beard and can’t be told from the male Dwarves by most other races.
All she cares about is her own bullshit.
"Long time activist in my homeland Iran."
Doing a bang up job.
She ate all the other activists and now she's the only one.
And she totally didn't get the job because she's black but cheaper than actual African American actors XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
The other actors when she is talking are thinking "Stop talking please" "You are ruining the show"
How can one person be so nerving and unsympathic at the same time? She likes to hear herself talking very much. She is just hateable.
I love Tolkien so much. I never had any faith that they would do justice to his books in this show and now, listening to these vapid, self aggrandizing actors talk about how woke this show is... Im not surprised at all. Hollywood needs to burn down.
Im just replying to myself here because I wanted to add... The women that Tolkien wrote are brave, strong and noble. His female characters are so amazing already!
@@Warriorsfan540 yes excatly, as a woman Tolkien womans meant so much to me. They were all strong, but in different way, so every woman could find what she was looking for. Eowyn fought against stereotypical woman role, but did not make her less woman. Galadriel was most powerful elf, yet she was gentle, lady-like and very intelligent and definitely did not need a sword to show her strenght. Arwen who had to make very difficult choice, that I would not be able to make - She is the bravest of them all, to give up family and life to be with man she loves, while she was not certain that he and the world will survive. (Excuse my language, I am not an english speaker).
Tolkiens work literally comes from Celtic, Germanic and Norse mythology...
Guys we have to accept that its all about her and not about Tolkien. We have to just accept it...
Said no one ever....
Except her. 😂
They made elfs black, dwarves black, humans black, males as toxic and arrogant and women like heroic godesses without equals.
They made orcs whiter than milk and they argue like children wresteling/hugging with their elven slaves instead of just killing them whenever they refuse to work or nitpick tiny things..
This show is a disaster that should be removed from all screens and those involved should face lifetime in jail for their massacre,
that woman has single handedly made sure no one is going to watch the show. before she started running her mouth NON-STOP maybe some of the die hard Tolkien optimists would have watched but she has turned every single fan of Tolkien, fantasy and entertainment in general away.
We’re in it for the memes
What does she mean with diversity? We have elfs, dwarfs, men, hobbits, wizards, balrogs, trolls, goblins, orcs, dragons in a story that takes place in a European mythological setting. That's not diverse enough?
what pissed me off the most is that she said that when her daughter thinks of tolkein, she wants her to think ONLY of this show. how dare you.
You know, I've never seen someone on TV with severe psoriasis. Where's my representation?!
Oh yeah, I don't need it because I'm not a narcissistic prick or feel the need to destroy something that others love.
I pray for you and yeah you are so right
Im latino but i dont want to see latinos in tolkien movies
@@gonzaloarvietti4920 Perhaps us latinos could play Southerners, Ents, Orcs... it just needs to be something that makes sense in the story and not shoehorned. I know I'd love to have my face CGI'd into a cool ent character.
This show is an insult to the memory of Tolkien. Just terrible.
I think she's happy that wah-men are being cast in a show for the first time in history. This is truly amazing. She's also the first black woman to ever be an actor. You go girl.
She's the Kamala Harris of showbiz 😂
When galadriel said „its elfin time“I cried
Generic fantasy show #8 is gonna suck.
i can't wait for the crossover: Ring Wheels Game of Power Time Thrones
Oh it's so annoying it's crazy! 😩😩😭
"Im fat and have brown skin, LOOK at ME!!!"
When Sauron said ''Life is like a chest of rings of power... you never know what you're gonna get.'' I got bumpgooses all over. That moment is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life.
And when Galadriela was about to kill an entire sith army and said: "It's elfin time", I cried
I'm Asian. I don't want to see Asian dwarves or elves in Tolkien's world. We're good with Norwegian/Celtic mythology based fantasy with White races, while there are other races as Easterlings and Harad in the world. If this is where Amazon is headed with Rings of Power, then it's gonna be a train wrecked. I hope it fails!
Plus I don't think that there's a need for us to insert ourselves into others cultures, Lords and mythologies when he also have great ones.
God, this is the dumbest time to be alive
Someone who is a reporter should just go up to her and say "You are not the first female dwarf" and call her out on this bull that she keeps spewing and render her speechless.
OMG just through this show in the fires of Mount Doom.
These people have never seen or read anything Tolkien.
If they have to change the story to fit their ideology, then they where never a fan of Tolkien or his works
This is beyond horrible. A was waiting more than 3 or 4 years for this show and it is a total disaster. Btw. Sauron has indeed returned and dwells now in Amaz-dur.
Omg this is painful 🤦♂️
A summary of the video: "This is" THE MESSAGE " important because " THE MESSAGE "and female" THE MESSAGE " and tv history " THE MESSAGE "activists".
Her next role is playing Kicking Bird in the Amazon update of "Dances With Wolves." Let's see how well her rhetoric goes over with the Lakota Nation.
If I would get served a roll on a big movie that I would have felt would be due to diversification, I would have felt a fake, and it would feel like an insult to my acting skills since I would have been chosen on the base of the color of my skin. So understand that these people who accept these roles, are the most selfish yet unaware or might even put up a blind eye on the real reason they have been chosen for this part. Might I even add, the proud is coming from within the fact they have been chosen solely on the base of their skin color. It's sad, and an insult to someone with a real passion for acting who would want to put the best performance on the screen for us to enjoy. Yet people like this, I feel like their accomplishment is already been achieved by just being on a screen as a black skinned woman. End results: the series will stink...
Some people just don't know when they should shut up
The cast= looks like cosplayers
Costumes= looks like blankets
Tolkien's rules and Tolkien himself=they ignored him.
This show will be the worst show of all times.... WHY THEY İGNORE TOLKİEN , HE İS THE AUTHOR OF THİS STORY THAT YOU PLAY, HELLO?!
I hope this show ends before it starts... They will ruin whole Tolkien universe to be "✨Modern✨"....
Now that diversity seems to trump actual talent in every casting session going, the standards for acting have really gone downhill. Forty years ago this 'lady' would've struggled to get the role as the boulder that chased Indiana Jones in that cave, despite being the right shape, build etc.
This woman is so disastrous she could bankrupt Pokemon.
You would think she was the first black woman in Hollywood….Jesus.
This is almost like religion isn't it.
1) you state there is a problem.
2) you offer yourself as the resolution of the problem.
3) you call those who don't accept your resolution infidels.
Hegelian Dialectics
Even this sentence “people finally starring themselves back”… I mean, how arrogant and ignorant and egoistic people must be to actually feel some kind of pleasure or satisfaction. That this is even considered an achievement 🤢🤢🤢
Imagine spending a Billion dollars on a show and then cast actors like these 🤦♂
If dwarves primarily live underground, how did they develop all the melanin? Wouldn’t it make more sense to make the human characters more diverse instead of elves and dwarves?
Dp you suggets that peoepeple of color cant be evles, darves???
You’re right, but your mistake is thinking that diversity has to make sense.
I am an Asian and I like it better to see all whites in a white movie.
Dwarfs are european mytholgy. You cant play a dwarf
"Read the books. He wrote a lot." Too fucking right love he did... and none of the shit you've shot for this tv show was in it! I'm sorry John, Amazon have quite predictably bastardised your work and let you down.
I actually thought she said "I didn't read the books" lmao
I will certainly NOT showing this garbage to my sons.
Holy crap that kid on the thumbnail explains it all.
1:14 well Taehyung is the person I least expected here😂
Bitter, petty glee in her voice is truly telling.
When I hear activist instead of how great the story is... it means they think the story is rubbish too but you must love it because you're a hater if you question its worth.
This is woman really knows how to overestimate her self importance, it's sad when race and gender is all people have going for them to the point that they can't see themselves beyond the superficial and then make the assumption that everyone else would see it that way aswell. People don't need to always see someone that looks like them doing something for them to be capable of doing the same thing, it's just incredibly foolish to say we have similar teeth or finger nails or body types or...color....now I can do what you do too...
"Bla bla bla you better love our woke trash bla bla bla"
LMAO their mental theory that people can like only characters that LOOK like them. So I can't like Rocket the Racoon if I am not a racoon?
Morgoth has escaped from Tolkien's book and arrived in our world
If Fantasy is now reduced to seeing yourself going to and from work being morally depressed with exposition from every NPC encounter with no fluidity of natural character progression and spectacular awe or sense of wonder in sight then. No gracias. Completely Disinterested.
Literally the very first scene of the very first LOTR movie has a woman dwarf in it. She would know that if she watches them. But she hasn’t because she doesn’t care at all about LOTR. She just eats food and wallows in the shallow water of the Nile river valley. (Hippopotamus joke)
Your memory of Tolkien will be a major dumpster fire 🔥
In an actual dwarf woman. I think someone like me should have had the part and represent us
3:04 Absolutely not. And I will do everything to show my children the vastness of Peter Jacksons trilogy. I want my sons and daughters to experience what true and meaningful storytelling is.
Unless they don't drive cars and the rings are apple watches, don't push false diversity just for the sake of it. If you make up a story about a different race or tribe in middleearth that's fine. Tbh i don't even mind the black dwarf (and honestly noone ever minded powerful female characters in Tolkiens world because their only were powerful females) but a random black silvan elf just for the sake of it, well at leave give him long black hair then...
You're not a Tolkien fan, you're a Peter Jackson fan. Tell your children to read the books.
You are thee poster child for type II diabetes
it's going to be absolutely immersive seeing her in a middle-ages setting and living in a mine. Crop of pallid shroom sure was plentiful recent years...
Why does someone have to be a certain color in order to relate to a character? Doesnt make any sense. Im part asian, but i never ever thought about "oh, that person isn't asian or female, I cant relate to them at all."
It's been a while since I've seen someone who loves the smell of their own farts as much as this actress does
Come along for the ride? Gee thanks for the invite. That rubbed me so fucking wrong
