Can't requote however I think it was something said by
Babyblob here about how there was no need to race bend the characters and Hollywood needs to get this message that there is no need to race bend the characters because
noone is really asking for it. not even POC.
I am a person of colour and no I dont need to see any LOTR character become black. JRR Tolkien who was white wrote the stories based on what he himself looked Like and what his own country and continent looked like. I can respect that in my own race tolerance bubble and not pounce on his world and demand that Amazon Prime TV must make Frodo, Sam, Aragorn or Arwen black or asiain or gay, otherwise I will not watch.
If Hollywood wants to impress me as a POC, they should make a high budget fantasy series of
Nigerian's classic tale of Things Fall Apart, a book that is just as good as Lord of the rings in literacy.
Does Hollywood even know that many of the race bending criticism are not from mostly white people but people of color themselves who are tired of been fake tokens. yes, it is fake tokenism because it does not matter how anyone tries to reimagine Peter Parker or Clark Kent. They would always be white guys when we imagine him in our heads because their comics has told us so for almost 80 years and this is just a fact regardless of any alternate reality versions of the characters.
