Put up is a very modern term that would not be used by Tolkien. You are correct that it doesn't fit the way the language flows in LotR. The rest is the modern day virtue signaling as each tries to reach higher on the hierarchy than the other.

@SecondTake123 They can be if they are written that way. It's not just a fictional world. That you think that shows your own ignorance. It was written as a mythology for Britain. Britain had been invaded so often, their ancient history was lost. They had no reference to ancient religions like the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and other civilizations. So he created it out of his love for his homeland and as a gift to it. This is one of the most influential books ever written and it deserves respect.

@hardatworktom2244 The character Morgan Feedmon played wasn't from the lore. He was inspired by a British TV series. So he's a new character who the main character meets in Africa. It's completely feasible that that character could be black. That's not the same. The same would be if he played Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, the Sheriff, or King. Now if in the series they had someone who escaped from the lands in the East in RoP, they could feasibly be black. It's not feasible that a race that lives Underground with little to no sun exposure would be or have dark/black skinned members.

@kdnu27 It can't be her traveling to Middle Earth because Celeborn is dead in this series. Somehow he's alive in LotR, but dead in the Age before it. Since you've read the book and have no issues other than the time crunch, I guess you're fine with all the lore breaking. Hobbits in an Age they don't exist in, Celeborn dead, Gladriel leaving her kingdom behind defenseless because her husband isn't even there to protect it, Dwarves with no beards, an illegal relationship between a human and elf even though it was done several times in the past, etc.

@bridgelaurie9490 No. The writers are projecting their crap onto another person's work. It's impossible for us to project onto it because we don't control it. What we do know is every other exchange between these two characters and their backstory and culture. Something the writers clearly don't. So we can look at all of those and understand this is not how they were portrayed by Tolkien.

I noped right out of WoT after the first episode. They can claim " we turned the wheel" all they like. It's the played out trope of being able to destroy the work of someone else by claiming it's not the same universe, time line, whatever.

@Ithilienranger345 They don't have the rights to those so they are irrelevant. The source material is LotR and the appendices. That's it. So pointing to something not within those doesn't help your case like you think it does.

@Translucent73 If he did, he would have. He went in great detail over the years about everything. What we've seen is not how he ever portrayed her to be. Hell any of the Elves. They should look ethereal. These look like cosplayers wearing bad ears. That's in the few shots you even notice them. I should know they are Eleves without seeing their ears. It should be obvious. It's not. They look like regular humans in most shots. Did you forget the sheild maidens of Rohan and Eowyn? He clearly was capable of putting a woman on the battlefield.

@thanglongnguyenvu3815 This is correct. The thinking of these types of people is that a woman is strong if she acts like a man. They don't believe a woman can be feminine and powerful or strong. That's why they've done this to her. I know because I regularly get attacked by people with this ideology and told I'm bad for women because I'm feminine without being revealing. Now if I was wearing skimpy clothing that would be empowering.

@TheHipisterDeer Celeborn, her husband, is dead for some reason in the 2nd Age. Even though he's in the 3rd Age in LotR, he's dead before that.

@mangeak1088 I read all that and it says nothing about a sword. How does she tear down the walls with a sword from a ship? You're really stretching that. Everyone of those feats she could have and would have accomplished with magic. Plus as stated, those were before he wrote the final draft so they aren't relevant other than in his process.
