  1. The thing is, if I liked fantasy Japan stuff and suddenly there's a bunch of European whites and Middle Easterners or Native American or Hispanics and Latinos and Eskimos... I would be rather disappointed and think okay could they not afford to hire Japanese to play in the movie? WTF? It'd be un-watch-able. Particularly if it were a historical sort of movie too... but even fantasy of the area. Same with Chinese, Russian, African, etc... imagine the Zulu warriors being a bunch of lillie white Brits or Koreans? It'd be absurd. And thus this is sort of absurd. I'm open to a little mixing in fantasy... fantasy is whatever you want it to be... so long as it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. As far as I've Tolkien never did write about other than caucasian peoples... even the Easterlings were of European like appearances... the question about the black Numenoreans had nothing to do with the color of their skin... it has to do with the splinter of the Kings men who began worshiping Morgoth via the deceit of Sauron, they would become the Black Numenoreans. While the faithful would retain the peace between the elves and the Valar and that of Eru. So yes, this is an inappropriate casting just for political correctness. I just hope they pull it off. And again it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I really would like to see more of Tolkien in a movie format. So far... it's not looking good :( The stupidity of our times. Give people fucking living wages and halt the idiocy of robber baron 3.0 that really keeps people impoverished and at variance with one another. The scapegoating of race is overdone. Exploitation of impoverished peoples in often tyrannical regimes or just destitute ones that's the problem. The idiocy of making it more difficult to collectively bargain to provide a just mechanism that ensures the profits aren't taken by a few at the sheer exploit of the labor that actually made the profits in the first place is the problem. This moronic push to stupidity giving ridiculous names to various "feelings" of gender and miscasting people in art is only testament to plutocracy that is utterly out of touch with reality. A reality that will eventually come to fall squarely on these morons' heads, as it's already doing so to the rest of us serfs in this ridiculous robber 3.0 system.
