It's a hobbit portrayed by a black actor. It's not an african american hobbit. i understand the casting indicates that the show may have a certain political/cultural disposition that most on here (including myself) don't want to see shoved into Tolkien's work, but i feel like most people bitching about the casting think that the black actors are going to portray some ghetto version of an elf or a hobbit or whatever, which is clearly not the case.

Cr. Why is it blacks and not, say, Asians? Because it is an American-made show, and negro worship is America's state religion. But Middle-earth has nothing to do with the United States and should not display American influence.

I said "historical England." E.g. Rohan is based off of Anglo-Saxon England.

Sure, maybe there were a tiny number of non-whites in medieval England. But what percentage were non-white? And what percentage of the cast of this show is non-white?

It’s too bad that PEAK big budget TV and a series on LOTR is coinciding with the rise of the cult of DIVERSITY and especially GIRL/BLACK GIRL POWER.

Make this series with today’s budget and graphics with 2005 sensibilities, and it would be fantastic

Just give me a show created by people who know Tolkien's work inside and out and want to make something in that spirit. My only hope is that Tokien's estate is so fucking picky about how his IP is portrayed that they'll clamp down on anything that is too far afield from the text.

Yeah, this is the thing. I don't mind black actors, etc. But I think forcing modern "sensibilities" on this stuff is what will ruin it. You could see it turn in GoT as soon as they had to work without the books to guide them.

Well, we have actual text all the way through here (even if it's not in the format of a linear novel) and we have an estate that is incredibly protective of the IP. HBO was running completely off book and seemed to have total freedom to do whatever the fuck they wanted.

That being said, I have a bad feeling about this show.

The estate doles out very specific pieces of his work and is incredibly protective about how its portrayed. You know how obsessive Christopher Tolkien was with his dad's work, right? And he ran all of the IP stuff to make sure no one bastardized his dad's work. He's dead now but only just recently and his wife and son run it just as tightly as he did.

One more funny thing, for anyone reading, is that Tolkien (who this Indian man is trying to portray as a globalist lib progressive - no ulterior motive to claim this for a foreign interloper in the West, naturally), in a letter to his son during the war, expressed his fear of "American cosmopolitanism" winning WW2 - precisely because of what that result had in store for the future of Western Civilization.

Another thing the demons will attempt to obscure: Tolkien's good friend C.S.
