Something like Vikings is a historic show, not a fictional show. It's based on actual events that transpired.

Here's the thing. Someone takes an IP like The Witcher, which is based on books. The books describe a specific person. People imagine this person in their head based on this text. Then they take this blonde girl and replace her with black woman. Her being black does not contribute to the story, she's just there for the sake of ticking off some checkboxes.

As The Porn Nerd said, someone could easily make a brand new IP that has gay or black or whatever characters built into it as part of the story. I'm sure there is a whole rich history of medieval/ancient African stories and myths that would be very enjoyable to watch, however if someone like Kunta Kinte was cast as a white woman in a remake of Roots it would look stupid, no?

I actually get where you're coming from. I even said as much earlier in this thread. So a white MLK or a black Amelia Earhart would be weird for me. But this thread is about bloody elves!!!

Also, I don't know much about Viking history, but I do know that they were white. The black woman being in it didn't change much for me as a viewer.

It's called being a fan, which is short for 'fanatic'. So yes, triggered by corporate greed pigs looking to desecrate a sacred fictional text beloved by millions (of all races) for decades.

This sums it up:

Only a real Geek will get this, unless the google it.

As for Warrior Galadrial - JRRT described her as an Amazon Warrior, By the time she is in the movies she has had 1,000s of years of maturing, and increasing her power.

If they were smart, they'd do a series on the Elvish otherworld of Rivendell, with a history of the Elvish race. That is something I would watch.

Seethe is definitely a hobbit word

Chris after a show runs for more than a season or so the writer's always turned the storylines to backstabbing each other, That's because that's how showbiz people are in real life. So the writers right about what they know.

The fact of the matter is the old generation always turns everything over to the new generation that's the way of the world

And that's what I do I mostly watch documentaries and I and I listened audio books now

I have very little interested in what the new generations up to.


It's just a bunch of made up problems. That's what happens when you live in the greatest country in the world. you have to make up problems.


If these peeps were living in nairobia they'd be worried about getting murdered in their sleep and having food to eat they wouldn't be woke that's for sure.

The people of "nairobia" [sic] would also not give a shit about black, gay elves.

People like you and I have had a lifetime to affect change, but we did nothing. You use the word woke like it's a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with people being aware and actively trying to bring about social change that is inclusive.
