Date: September 3rd, 2022 8:51 AM Author: Twinkling Thriller Principal's Office Serious q, is Tolkien even interesting or compelling anymore after we’ve had more dark and nuanced intrigue with Game of Thrones and HotD? The Rings story has been told ad nauseum and it is standard “Good vs Evil” boilerplate at its core. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5185160&forum_id=2/en-en/#45113843) |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 8:56 AM Author: soul-stirring chad That’s interesting. I think the original LOTR universe and story are the greater masterpiece, but GOT is more compelling for spin-offs and exploration (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5185160&forum_id=2/en-en/#45113849) |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 8:56 AM Author: flickering faggotry office I don’t get the skin color obsession.
Man played female roles in Shakespearen plays. Hell, whites even played black peoples in monstrel shoes. But Black people aren’t allowed to play as elves or dwarfs?! Because it offends your racial realism sensibilities? |
|
Date: September 3rd, 2022 8:57 AM Author: soul-stirring chad Yes, it’s a slap in the face reminder of the scourge of DEI. They aren’t being cast because they are the best for the role, but because Amazon needs to say that 50% of actors are BIPOC (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5185160&forum_id=2/en-en/#45113851) |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 9:04 AM Author: Pearly Coiffed Hell Place Of Business It's the black doctor issue. That black doctor may be great at his job, but due to AA you have your doubts. This bullshit where studios, etc. agree to have a certain percentage of BIPOCs takes you out of it. Would they be cast without this shit?

Date: September 3rd, 2022 11:13 AM Author: aromatic chestnut theatre queen of the night It’s not half the cast. It’s 2 characters who don’t get nearly as much screen time as the main white cast. The cast is still 80%+ white. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5185160&forum_id=2/en-en/#45114170) |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 9:07 AM Author: Fragrant crusty space i don't watch TV anymore, but i imagine it's supposed to be an escape from everyday life. if you want a story that was written by an englishman in a very different, old world before DEI, this is going to disrupt that. it would be like redoing the andy griffith show with similar casting - it's not the same small town you're trying to escape to after you're tired from work. there were native blacks in GoT, but they weren't pretending northmen were suddenly black. that wasn't grating. |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 9:19 AM Author: heady internet-worthy national Men were playing women as women and in the minstrel shows the white players were playing black characters by putting on blackface.
Opera has always been color blind and Shakespearean plays have long been color blind and fantasy is fantasy so who cares what the skin colors are. At the same time the deliberately diverse casting is part of a significant shift in film productions. You can't do a movie about Tudor or Medieval or Victorian Europe without shoehorning in a bunch of sassy black characters. But no one is going around pretending there were whites in Zulu tribes in 1500. To do so would be seen as distinctly racist and whitesplaining.
So I can see why many feel history and culture is being deliberately distorted for ideological reasons - westerners aren't allowed to own their culture but other cultures have to be treated with hyersensitivity. And it's also affecting how the stupid woke masses believe "real history" to be, I've come across a few instances of woke warriors insisting there really were lots of black people in Regency Britain. |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 12:19 PM Author: charcoal hideous ratface With opera though, usually they are cast because they have beautiful voices, not (at least back then) to fulfill some diversity quota.
This seems to be force memed. Reading the Sandman comics just now and surprised how many of the OG characters were white and turned black on Netflix for no good reason. |

Date: September 3rd, 2022 10:24 AM Author: Odious amethyst point pocket flask It offends mise-en-scene. Whites played blacks in minstrel shows since it was grotesque and hence comedic. This is inappropriate for, and ruins, any piece meant as serious. All the more if it's a work of fantasy that depends on suspension of disbelief. The fact that it brings to mind our current racial Maoism amplifies the issue. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5185160&forum_id=2/en-en/#45114054) |
