I know that dark elves are cannon, but i'm pretty sure dark elves weren't niggers. Weren't they more greyish in colour, or even kinda pasty because they didn't leave the heavily shaded forest, like the fag who wanted to kill his son or wife for leaving him.
The only good thing is Shippey being present, but they will probably ignore him.
The Avari are simply called 'dark' because they never came into contact with the two trees or attempted go west and are not considered Eldar. They looked like all the other elves, probably shorter and with darker hair, since blonde hair is a trait of the Vanyar, who went to Valinor in their entirety. Eöl, the 'dark elf' you are referring to, wasn't actually an Avar, he was a Sinda, or grey-elf, that was rather unusual in temperament for his kind, and was quite pale, it's true. I don't think any elves are grey-skinned, Sindar are called grey-elves because they aren't exactly dark elves but never saw the light of the two trees. They are made up of the Teleri that stayed behind in Beleriand to look for Thingol when he was enchanted, or liked the sea too much and didn't want to leave it.
Are you going to ignore the fact that the Noldor Exiles were a bunch of idiots that killed their own kind unjustly multiple times and went on a war with Mega-Satan over jewelry that they could not win (and the Valar would have done for them and won easily, had they not been stupid and insulted them), which ultimately led the the death and suffering of the overwhelming majority of their people until they had to go begging back to the Valar to save their pathetic hides? They were already embarrassments to begin with. Especially Fëanor.
Why would China care about some white Catholic work when there's endless gold to mine from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms alone? (Which I might add modern Chinese filmmakers have steadily been improving on, to the point where they stage massive battles that I wished Hollywood emulated.)
One thing to remember is that neither sun nor moon existed when first Elves wandered Middle Earth. So there was permanent darkness outside realm of Valar until much later when sun and moon were created.
I have no response to that.
I really hate the elf-wanking scenes in Jackson's LOTR trilogy and the small deviations from the books over the movies add up to make me really dislike it to a point of not being able to watch them... and I expect to literally fall in love with them the moment this show rears its ugly head. Like what happened with the SW Prequels and the nuWars. Like what happened with ST ENT and nuTrek.
I'm certain they are going to portray the Númenoreans as a ham-fisted analogy for white supremacist colonizers and xenophobes. That's just obvious. If anyone is going to be a Trump stand-in, it will be Ar-Pharazôn, not Sauron.
Well, see, in order to make the proper connections of who they are actually going to use as a poor standin for Trump or his red-cap wearing voters, I'd have to give enough of a shit about this show to bother to learn what its setting actually is...
No wonder Amazon has to fucking work their cagies into death, look at this fucking mess, Somebody needs to fucking rework this line from the ground up.
The sad thing is that the Númenoreans were quite literally colonialists and imperialists. Their colonialism was beneficial, at first enlightening the other Men still in Middle-Earth with writing and technology. They probably protected them from domination by Sauron too. However, eventually as they grew more arrogant and hedonistic they started to demand tribute from them that they did not even need, becoming rulers rather than teachers and traders. It should also be noted that many Númenorean colonies were created by political refugees, too.
Yes. Because fighting a hopeless war against overwhelming power to win back holy relics that are filled with the last traces of divine light is heroic. You have to appreciate heroism, even though heroes are imperfect and their cause may be hopeless; that's a fundamental part of Western mythology. (The Greeks were assholes and Achilles was one of the worst, but he gets top billing in the Iliad.) And you are generalizing from the Feanorians to all the Exiles, even the ones who took no part in the Kinslaying(s).
I'm not saying they weren't heroic or compelling. I'm saying they were ill-advised and reckless when there were significantly better options available than being cursed by the God of Death to die horribly for their mistakes. I also know that I heavily generalized them, for humorous effect mostly, because I thought you weren't being serious either. Also, if the Nirnaeth Arnoediad had actually gone as planned, they probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Morgoth anyway, at best they would have reestablished the Siege of Angband and extended the long defeat a few measly centuries, if infighting between the Eldar over the Noldorin High Kingship and Thingol's Silmaril didn't get them first.
Oh no.
They are not tribes. They are more like breeds that had general cultural trends. Hobbits when they lived in Wilderland were probably in groups of tightly-knit clans like the one Gollum used to live in. Hobbits are clannish, not tribalistic.
