You literally cannot watch anything on TV nowadays.



There's more. Check out this non-Tolkien elf:

They must have some good barbers in Middle Earth.

Artistically it's a terrible decision but it's ultimately a commercial product. It's to be expected.

This is the most expensive TV show of all time. They want as people in on it as possible to recoup some costs.

I don't think they are going to be watching lord of the rings.


And I doubt the nerds will either.

But just imagine if you just had exceptional writing and character development, that's all you would really need to create a fantastic show that would draw in viewers from all over and you wouldn't have to create new characters for the sake of some Woke ideology.

But if the show's producers and executives really think people are so primitive that they'll only tune in if they see a person that looks like them, that's just so wrong and lazy on so many levels.


And I wonder how much market research they do before they decide to include every gender, sex, and race under the rainbow into their writing. Like, do they poll certain races and ask them if they'd be more willing to watch a certain show if they see someone that looks like them in it?

[ThRRR3tardSatan]

If I preferred watching straight white people, I'd be considered a racist bigot.


When fat black homos prefer watching other fat black lesbos, it's not racist or bigoted.

So dont.

[JohnnySic]

Why not just get on with it and only cast black actors in every movie? They already do that with commercials.

[John_Connor]

the 3 hobbit movies killed that sh*t anyway. let em have it who cares. the first 3 are all that really matter. this is just another lady ghostbusters type failure waiting to happen

I realize that some of these things make no sense and are going too far. You can't fight racism with more racism, however there is the PR perspective to it. These companies are scared that they might severely damage their bottom lines if someone even accuses them of under-representing minority groups.

This is the woke phase we are in where everyone is constantly walking on egg-shells and scared to say or do anything. It's an issue when white people act more offended than the actual minority groups (many of the woke people might be fake tbh). It's a problem when white people out there feel the urge to punish themselves for slavery by their ancestors - it really makes no sense to me that people 5-6 generations later are angry at themselves for what their great-great-great grandfather did. It's nuts. Does this mean that if you have Roman bloodline or genghis khan's bloodline, you should be ashamed of yourselves? No, you should learn from it and ensure that barbaric stuff never goes down again - teach your kids the history and show them the first-hand sources. Learn from it. That's the only way you can ensure it never happens again.

People will eventually get sick of extreme wokeness. We will get past this phase as people have throughout history.

Something is seriously wrong with you

You're having a meltdown over a couple black people cast in a story about elves and goblins and dragons? :facepalm :oldlol:

This is so pathetic I can't even post the regular Matthew Perry stuff.

Ok fine, of a darker complexion. Because everyone knows he wasn't pasty white like y'all portray him. He was a special prophet in my religion you know, so I'm not being disrespectful.

And that is? Do you take everything I say seriously? Sorry bud.

LOL I'm ****ing with ya. Yes, we all know Jesus looked different in real life.

[bison]

Tolkien was clear about Lord of the Rings lore essentially being an alternative mythology for England, and to a larger extent, Europe. So it would seem odd to have actors of African descent portray these characters. Also I have no doubt that these kinds of castings are done for the very purpose of generating controversy. These studios are actively trying to bait racists in order to generate conversations about race and fiction. It's free promotion for these companies because it gets their product out via word-of-mouth since people love to participate in culture wars.

But it seems like it would be moot, because the show looks like shit so far. So much of these shows and films are saturated in computer generated imagery that it no longer feels like I'm watching a film, something crafted by humans, but rather one long video game cut scene.

You purposely miss the point always just to be on the opposing side of me as usual. It isn't just this one show. It's the new Halo series. It's that other show on Amazon the Wheel of Time or whatever gay shit it's called. And it's not like they're casting formerly White characters and replacing them with colored characters, no. They are creating new characters who happen to be diverse just for the sake of diversity. How do you decide to add new characters to the Lord of the Rings story? That's not how filmmaking is supposed to be. In Hollywood, it's agenda first, acting second apparently. You don't notice how every new show has a gay character in it? The LGBTQ community only represents about 5% of this country.

It's fiction. They are representing the hobbit and elf community too even though they make up 0% of the real population :oldlol:

You are the reason a woke agenda even exists. You won't even let black people play a fictional wizard elf. So they have to normalize it for the younger generations so when they grow up they won't flip their shit if they see a black fairy on TV :oldlol:

Tomorrow you'll condemn black culture being so violent and cancerous and ask why can't they be more like white people.

2 black people. Oh no! too much diversity! :facepalm

Black people can play whatever they want. I encourage new shows all the time. Most of TV sucks anyway. But once again, you're missing the point cause you're just too obtuse and too wrapped up in your hatred for the other side. That shit clouds your judgment and reason. As the above poster mentioned, Tolkien didn't write these stories with colored characters in mind. But because Woke nancies such as yourself are never happy with anything, you encourage forced diversity where there doesn't need to be any.


Don't bother responding cause I know you're too dumb to understand.

[Patrick Chewing]

I'll put it in simpler terms for this neanderthal to understand. These actors weren't chosen cause they beat out other actors for the part. They were chosen solely because of their skin color. That is a form of racism disguised as Wokeness.

All of them were partly chosen for their looks even the other 20 white actors.

You sure? I'm not saying that it is or isn't true because I don't know.

But you don't either.

Oh wow. Looks like OP has started an agenda-driven thread, and we fell for it. Look like I will need to be very careful with whatever thread the moron OP starts henceforth.

It's stupid as hell all this forced woke shit, so ridiculous they'll include colored people in a movie about vikings sometime in the future but I just ignore this shit, it doesn't bother me at all since I have more important things to worry about, don't you? :confusedshrug:

Let’s be real though, it’s highly unlikely Jesus was as fair skinned as he’s portrayed to be.

I don’t get it, if these people hate these white dominated franchises why do they even attempt to adapt it?

Let it die if it’s so bad

[hiphopanonymous]

Hmmm Hollwood making weird executive decisions to insert races into settings that don't make sense to make their movie more desirable to a target audience... now where have I seen this sort of thing before?

Oh that's right!:

Nothing new here

They can't let it die. It's all part of the notion that history must be erased. The Great Reset. Instead of erecting new monuments to honor new people which include people of color, we will take down old monuments instead.

There's a new The Wonder Years show in case you guys didn't know. Guess what? All Black cast. Jordan Peele is on the record saying that he won't cast a White lead in any of his movies. Can you image a White director saying they won't cast a Black lead??

There is definitely a movement in Hollywood to erase Whites as the dominant race in film, even at the expense of being openly racist towards Whites, all the while disguising it as equity, which it truly isn't.

[Chick Stern]

Can they remake Roots with all of the slaves being white?

[hiphopanonymous]

These examples remind me I watched a friend of mine playing some battlefield game that was supposed to be first World War. You know, trench warfare in in Germany / France - fought by UK / Canada / segregated US etc.

There were petite female characters lugging around 40lb heavy machine guns in full sprint as strong and mightily as any male character, and I'm pretty sure they also included all races for that full woke hollywood treatment we see in movies today so that you can play this game as "anyone" and feel included which I guess is a nice gesture however it's a bit weird doing it in a war that actual people fought and died in.

I'm absolutely all in for people being against how Hollywood or the entertainment industry "white washed" history years ago so that white audiences would like the movies better, like that John Wayne example. I'm also for telling stories that focus more on women if there hasn't been a fair lens for them, there's been lots of women in genuine leadership positions or even if made up there's probably room for stories where they take the spotlight. But it's just cringeworthy to artificially pump our stories in the entertainment industry full of peoples that don't make contextual sense. Whether that be racially or gender or whatever. I don't need to see 110lb actresses outfight men because 1 out of 100 blue haired feminists get mad about patriarchy, nor do I need to see people in ancient middle earth who had no way to travel across the globe other than by foot, appear on different continents. Diversity quotas by Hollywood today are as phony and weird as the "put a white guy in as lead" instructions from the past. Most people probably agree, but I'd imagine much like with the movies of the past most people will just shrug and say "it's not really a big deal so who cares". And it isn't really a big deal. But it is weird.
