Yeah I checked out the black dwarf / elf discussion on a swedish forum and it's just full of racists talking about The Globalist Agenda and Wokeness and Black Elves is the worst thing to have ever happened in media

Now I'm really not a huge tolkien nerd but weren't the dwarves and elves created by god, who is very much real in the setting? Like literally made from nothing by the big wizard in the sky? So why wouldn't there possibly be variations of elves and dwarves? It's just magic bullshit

DePalma put lots of Hitchcock in his movies. On a rewatch you can see Caine’s psychiatrist following Dickinson around the museum.

Imagine you were a young black actor who really wanted to be in LOTR cos you liked the movies (or just cos you wanted the job for you career) and you get the role of a literal made up character like an elf or dwarf and then a load of racist nerds start crying online about the elf or dwarf being black. So so lame.

I wonder what the wild left/right Twitter takes would be if they just filmed that straight

Imagine all the dorks crying now about there being a black dwarf suddenly changing their tunes if he was the only evil dwarf in middle earth… “acccctually it’s a fictional world and they’re just staying true to the history”

I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to make it look cheap because supposedly they spent over $400 million on it, and the cast is virtually unknown, so it's probably not going to salaries.

It's also not going to competent set designers, costumers or anyone else with any real skill or prior experience

E: because they're Unionized

With the original LOTR movies, wasn't there something about almost all the props and weapons used in those movies where they given over to someone outside the actual film production as part of the negotiation for the film rights?

HBO themselves blew 30 mil on a GOT spinoff pilot that'll never see the light of day.

Self-styled "rational sceptic" who just happens to believe that Christian civilisation dating back to the Romans is the source of everything good in the world, supporter of Thatcher ever since he went to heckle her and watched the two hecklers before him get so thoroughly owned that he switched parties on the spot, very concerned about the creeping Islamisation of Europe, loves Brexit.

I remember him saying Aragorn was George W. Bush and he thought it was funny because Vigo was (like every sane person) anti-Bush.

Elves and Men were created by God and the Valar and Maiar (angels) went down to earth and based their physical forms in the image of God's children.

Dwarves on the other hand were created by Aulë the Smith, one of the Valar. He jumped the gun by making his own people, so God gave the Dwarves life and agency, but as penance they were forbidden to awaken until both Elves and Men had risen in Middle Earth.

There's seven great houses of the Dwarves but the one most of the stories deal with are Durin's Folk, who are the archetypal Nordic Dwarf. Black Dwarf queenie could easily be from a different Dwarf lineage.
