@oliviamaynard9372 Because he husband led the armies. It lessens her and at no time after she enters Middle Earth is she described how she's being portrayed. She didn't traipse around Middle Earth hunting baddies. The Elves left most baddies to men which is explained by all dragons being slayed by men. They only engaged when things crossed into their territories. They are making her human instead of Elvish. It's not in Tolkien's work is the "big deal".

@cubablue602 Galadriel didn't lead armies and leave her kingdom unprotected to hunt something nobody, including her, knew was a risk. Sauron was in the East building his armies so them having her running around Middle Earth hunting orcs is not even remotely true. Tell me, since she didn't lead armies, didn't do battles, and didn't leave her kingdom why would she be wearing armor or have a need for it?

@oliviamaynard9372 George Washington is a historical figure that was real so no having him portrayed by a black person would not be okay anymore than having MLK portrayed by a white person would be. Every job has requirements. When it comes to acting those requirements include body size, race, facial features, and even hair color. Even in literature characters are described in great detail. Idiars Elba has already said he will not play Bond so your analogy that you're basing everything is false. There used to be a time when art was respected unfortunately people seem to thing anything created is for other people to rip off.

@lauri3548 Absolutely not because that would be against the lore and against everything the author intended. Write your own fanfic fantasy and have published. You're free to do that. You're not free to take the work and art of another and do whatever you wish. That's called plagiarism and copyright infringement.

@aarons6935 We certainly know that money didn't go to costuming. They're terrible so far and cheap looking. People have found identical items on site that mass produce period pieces.

@danielaraya2423 Hasn't stopped them from introducing a black Elf from the southlands who's a slave or goblins or orcs which would only come from the Silmarillion or ignoring the intro to LotR and calling Harfoots not Hobbits.
