Not just British folklore, but also Norse and Germanic, which could be considered ancestors of of British folklore (as the British Isles contained people descended from those cultures regions.) Also those three places are the countries/regions that I think most exemplify 'whiteness', in so far as it exists, so it makes sense that they would also be included.
I think it was in his letters to/from C.S. Lewis. I know Lewis referred to the Lord of the Rings as free from allegory in an intro or forward to some edition or other.
At least Amazon is not allowed to touch anything from the time period of the original films. The classics won’t be tainted.
Another amazing bit of info is that the first season has a budget of $465 million. It will most likely get views since most of what is on television is already crap and people are desperate to look at new stuff, but that is a big bet on their part.
Well, at least I can easily identify that I'm not watching it now.
That made it super easy.
Tell me, I know we get some black people in these parts, are you guys cool with this shit? To me, it would be like casting an all white cast for some story based on a fantasy version of the tribes of the Serengeti. It's pretty cringe.
These are the same people who scream that "white people don't have any culture" as they continually take roles based entirely around white culture.
I just don't get it.
Yeah, I understand that I'm white, but I just don't understand the identity shit. I really don't. I've never looked at anyone based on their race. When I grew up watching TV there were countless black people who I looked up to. It wasn't "black or white" culture; it was American culture.
Spawn was one my favorite super heroes.
Jordan was my favorite athlete.
Wesley Snipes was popular as hell.
In Living Color was one of my favorite shows.
Chris Rock, Patrice O'Neil, and Richard Pryor were one of my many favorite comedians.
Etc. etc. etc.
Everything these days is about division and for some reason tearing down straight white people to build everyone else up. It doesn't make sense. We all share more in common than we have difference and face many of the same issues every day.
Whites need to be destroyed because they are the only ones with a shred of morality left, which means if organized they might resist and destroy the established systems.
That’s the only reason this is happening. It’s not racial. It’s Good vs Evil. Blacks have capitulated for the most part, and are tools of Satan now.
As in a friend that is no longer leftist, or a leftist that is no longer a friend? In the second case it should be "leftist ex-friend". In the first case, they still have a lot of deprogramming needed based on the comments they're making.
You know, I saw some pictures taken from a bus stop in Nigeria, and one of the interesting things I noticed is how the local ads plastered on the buses and station featured blacks. That makes sense. It is Nigeria after all. Then I realized our ads in America look the same lol.
Retarded foreshadowing. They think they can wipe us out I assume.
This exactly. Why can't these supposedly marginalized groups that have supposedly been shut out of entertainment for so long come up with original stories everyone wants to see?
Honestly my guess is because many of those cultures used verbal instead written history causing each tribe has their own variations of history and lore (think game of telephone but through generations and hundreds if not millions of years) so there's no concrete story that everyone holds near and dear like cultures that passed on written history that has less flaws and variance in storytelling (due to translations and interpretation of text) thus appeals to more people.
Tldr; text based storytelling has a backbone/source despite translation and interpretation errors. Stories passed vocally lose their source almost immediately, either through the teller dying, or losing their mental facilities, or not having a plan in the first place so the story would've been told differently by the same person even within a span of a few days or depending on their audience.
They absolutely have unique stories of non whites and women they could tell, but they don't want to do that. They want to humiliate and demoralize the white population, and specifically white men, by constantly swapping their characters in stories to non whites and women, removing all heroes to aspire to and turning them into a race or gender that they're not. No longer is it a story about us or our ancestors, it's a perversion, just as all righteous and good things must be perverted. It's also to indoctrinate kids into believing that this is normal, as part of the totality of brainwashing they're inundated with to go along with the globalist system.
"And so Frodo returned the Ring, once seized in a brazen act of colonialism, to it's rightful owner, Sauron, having agreed with his Southron allies to destroy the biggest threat to diversity, equity and inclusion in Middle-Earth - the hated Men of the West!"
My favorite part about that kind of thing being a caricature of black people is that the caricature of white people is speaking very formally and wearing business casual clothes and being employed.
They’re probably in poverty because of racism though, despite everyone jumping over themselves for decades now to put them in the front of the line as they kick and scream to get out of it.
Is anyone surprised? I just take it as a given. Same reason I have no interest in the Wheel of Time show. Books already have non white characters but I guess that wasn’t enough.
Is there somewhere that says which roll each one is? I am just assuming the bottom right is Legolas and the first one is Frodo since obviously they were always black women.

Yes
So TRUE!!!

Enjoy !
LoTR isn't allegory. Tolkien explicitly denyed this (either in a letter, or the introduction of some printed versions. Possibly both.)
Yeah poor choice of words on my part, but LoTR drew from British folklore and was at least partially supposed to be a sort of unified English myth

Tolkien's legendarium was intended to be a long lost ancient English mythology which was supposedly set in the past.
What a terrible shame many young people’s first intro to these amazing stories will be this awful poison. I know they’re laughing about if too
There's no way they won't butcher the story and themes. Nobody will watch. Those young people will be told to watch the movies.
That’s why I bought Simillarion
At least Amazon is not allowed to touch anything from the time period of the original films. The classics won’t be tainted.

They don't have their own stories and have to be planted into European ones.
Everybody has their own stories, it's what we do. They just want to be in the White ones because they are better.

Plus Hollywood is too lazy to research non European folklore. Much easier to take European folklore and race swap.
It's not that.
They absolutely have unique stories of non whites and women they could tell, but they don't want to do that.

Right, it’s not about blacks at all. That’s just the cover. It’s about destroying whites and always has been.
"And so Frodo returned the Ring, once seized in a brazen act of colonialism, to it's rightful owner, Sauron, having agreed with his Southron allies to destroy the biggest threat to diversity, equity and inclusion in Middle-Earth - the hated Men of the West!"

Well that settles it for me, I won’t be watching
Ruined just like the witcher. Casting choice here is the biggest issue I have. Dumbasses think this will be popular lol
CONSOOOOOOOOOOOM CAPESHIT
Amazon are a global terrorist organization.
Is anyone surprised? I just take it as a given. Same reason I have no interest in the Wheel of Time show. Books already have non white characters but I guess that wasn’t enough.
I see colonizers.
Gollum bottom right is perfect!
What’s up with all the Easterlings?
Is there somewhere that says which roll each one is? I am just assuming the bottom right is Legolas and the first one is Frodo since obviously they were always black women.

Expected this was going to be all the gingers that were in the story.
Don't worry! In the interest of fighting incels the ginger characters are getting recast too :)
