New Lord of the Rings
I don't mind minorities as long as it's a) lore friendly (probably not in this case b) they actually focus on writing a good story and don't focus on militant activism/christian-tier preaching (they won't).
Based on all earlier experiences, I am guessing it will be a shittily written series with plotholes, bad storytelling, completely dumb things happening and having characters behaving out of their character in lore (see Netflix Witcher-series, what a disappointment) that will enrage all the fans because the director won't give a fuck and just wants to butcher the story to fit their own vision.
You provided me with a point to bring up a tangentially related topic - that, somehow, nobody criticised Jackson's trilogy for such idiotic reason as including non-white cast & crew, making it obvious that the reason why fans dislike current year burgerstani television shows, in fact, cannot be latent racism.
Which against provides me with a starting point to point out that, therefore, it is not about diversity either.
Someone composing music to the show has nothing to do with the lore and uruk-hais looking like uruk-hais is lore friendly and is irrelevant who is under the mask, because it stays lorefriendly. You have invented by your own arguments that someone cares about these two things and then you argue against your own imaginary arguments thinking you have a point.
Cringy.
What is not lore friendly, let's say Hagrid, from your Redditors favourite movies Harry Potter, so I assume you can relate to it better; is originally described to be this huge, bearded, a bit simply but friendly guy, but then someone makes a movie or tv-series where he is not a he but now a she, sits in a wheelchair and uses the word "fuck" in every single sentence pretending to be cool (Yennefers character is a good example of this).
Then when anyone who has even glanced at the lore is upset and complains at the shitty result, you show up, schizoing about muh racism.
Get a grip, dude.
mexico is a geographically diverse country, since there is people of almost every race here, plus the variations on genes because of race mixing makes that some people don't belong to any race but them having their own thing.
colonization also happened a really long ago so both today mexicans and today spanish people have nothing to do with that event.
so I ask again who are "your people"?
i am bored. i recently checked on Eliezer Yudkowsky and the guy is bad. If you don't know who that is its some jew who is obsessed about general artificial intelligence and its dangers. He sees these new AI systems that work like a black box and he is broken because any of those black boxes can spawn demons and open portal to hell with maximum suffering. And it affected me too, with pessimism and doom and gloom. So i want to distract myself with something silly and dumb, something like mocking and feeling emotions about the Rings of Power (tm). Its just a distraction, because if i don't think about it, i will start thinking about existential level risks and allignment problems and how space is actually filled with consequences of mistakes made by the long gone civilisations just drifting away like the spores of the necrotic disease flying out with the dying breath of some poor alien souls.
