On these thread, I constantly criticized LOTR Amazon, and constantly pointed out my fear on what this series should look at the end (and my fear haven't dimmed yet).
However, I forgot to mention, that equally gross to me are the you tube (small channels), trying to "protect the
Tolkien fans and lore", while you can clearly see their only goal is more subscribers. .. someone posted a link of some guy that is just like that in some of the previous pages.
I apologize for not mentioning that earlier.
Then again, I am annoyed by some "fans" requesting "
dwarf women must have beards".
Why?
For the Crist sake, why?
I am not a Tolkien lore master (I've read;
Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, Unfinished
Tales, Children of
Hurin), and read many parts all over again, many times, and I don't recall any moment Tolkien insisted dwarf womens had beards... I mean.. even if he insisted (in some letters or whatever), is this really important?
Isn't more important character development, cinematography, editing, story twists.. etc, then this?
Diversity:
Yeah, sensitive subjects... I can only agreed to some people saying, that they could have easily done that with placing some heroic and noble characters in
Harad, and Run territory, and nobody would complain. Black
elf? Umm.. doesn't really looks realistic.. I am glad many of our black friends (that are also Tolkien fans) agreed with us.
LOL - that's
the one!
