    There have, in mythology, been dark-skinned elves. And it would just be braindead writing to say that there are no skin tone variations among elves when there obviously are among humans.

    Also, pygmies are real. Please do more homework.

    Right. That the actor being black is literally your only complaint on this thread.

    I never called you racist. If you think the shoe fits, then so be it, but I never called you racist.

    I'm not against hommage but that is different. Lots of fanfic is just copying

    So you never called me racist, you merely stated that I hate the show because of black actors? You can't even find a post to prove that; so yes you called me a racist.

    Show me where.

    I was wondering when you'd try to play the victim card. It was only a matter of time.

    The actor being black is literally your only complaint on this thread and you have used every argument to show why they should be white.

    Yes, but not Othello.

    Are white people upset that Jesus has almost exclusively played by a white actor?

    Plus, it is extremely unlikely that any fan of Bridgerton has made a negative comment about the race of the Queen. Seriously . Live and let live has gone out of style. Why????

    No, it's not "FICTION". Here... you may enjoy:

    And as far as what Jesus Christ looked like... well, he probably looked a lot like whatever most people in the Nazareth area in the Roman province of Palestine (Judaea) looked like. I don't imagine that he looked like somebody from Norway, or, from Nigeria, either, for that matter....

    Nah.. it isn't fiction. It's virtue signaling. It is quote based casting. And worst, it is distracting. Should mr Mandela in his upcoming bio pic be played by say George Clooney?

    Yes, I’ve been informed that Bridgerton is a documentary. I will inform the author of the series.

    Who's talking about a "Bridgerton", wherever the hell that is...?

    Just a rumor. Still...

    Amazon To Retool ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’, Sideline Current Showrunners After First Season Was “More Of A Failure Than They Could Have Been Anticipated”

    With Amazon’s live-action bastardzation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s seminal fantasy works having under performed by practically every metric, a new rumor suggests that the company will be “retooling” The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for its second season – starting with the sidelining of its current showrunners, J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.

    I guess we'll know if the showrunners get the axe,

    I don't know what a "showrunner" is, and I don't care. I would rather watch barnyard porn video clips than see any more of this politically-correct "Rings" farce. They can stuff it 'where the sun don't shine'....
