20 new actors added to the Amazon LoTR cast
The black guy is a voice actor for a cgi right?
Right?
>The new additions are: Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Maxim Baldry, Ian Blackburn, Kip Chapman, Anthony Crum, Maxine Cunliffe, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Thusitha Jayasundera, Fabian McCallum, Simon Merrells, Geoff Morrell, Peter Mullan, Lloyd Owen, Augustus Prew, Peter Tait, Alex Tarrant, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, and Sara Zwangobani.
>not a single white person
are these just computer generated images of fake people?
Is that Peter Mullan on the top left? Based!!
but Zig Forums autists told me the entire cast was going to be black, surely they weren't wrong again?
The guy in bottom right in OP is from Spartacus last season. He was pretty based.
yes
I hope all the browns are playing orcs or southrons
It's going to suck
Unless they're playing Easterlings or Orcs, they've already blacked the story.
Alright alright, from what I’ve seen this show has a decent white-brown ratio for a big budget modern fantasy show. Though GOT had a far better ratio.
Well there's literally 0 blacks in LotR, so it's already fucked.
was there any doubt? we're in 2015+
Again it was already uncovered taht the Eurasian people are playing Khandmen, blacks and latinos and arabs Haradrim and Asians and Persians are playing Easterlings. Everyone calm down.
The only non-white person playing a Maiar is Ismael Cruz.
Cringe
there's southrons/haradrim, but this isn't a adaptation of LOTR, it's a compeltely new show set thousands of years before it. there was already a black guy in Faramir's group at the waterfall in the movies tho
Where?
>southrons/haradrim
You already know they will not be desert people but Elves, human Kings or something else important fuck america an there nigger obsession.
Nobody told you that. They would have told you that there would be racial diversity within the set races at worst, and likely seeing that this is a modern day amerishit-production.
Slightly less bad if the Numenoreans for instance are cast as middle-easterners, and having a more gradual and natural differences in the races, with Gondor being Southern-Europe.
Best case if the browns are playing haradrim/southerners. Unlikely that this is the case.
Probably going to be riddled with sex and vulgar language too.
Black guy looks like a younger Lenny Henry
Black people in LOTR is like a serious war movie and Hitler is portrayed by a black man and Stalin by asian. The same cultural rape happened to Witcher.
He also had a small role of Skynet in Terminator Genisys Iirc.
it is lenny henry
the witcher was always trash, go back to Zig Forums
Just what I was thinking. Based Crassus
>it is lenny henry
damn, nigga's looking good. respect
>Black people in LOTR is like a serious war movie and Hitler is portrayed by a black man and Stalin by asian.
no it isn't, black/brown people exist in tolkien's world. if it was a rmeake of LOTR and they recast elrond aragorn and gandalf all black you might have a point, but it isn't and they haven't.
I count eight more reasons I won't be watching
spartacus best antagonist after crixus
i count 11
Motherfucking Crassus.
What the fuck it's Lenny Henry.
>the witcher was always trash, go back to Zig Forums
What are you talking about? I've read the books 20 years ago and they are great. In any case they are in historical era + folk magic of that era and what Netflix did was cultural rape.
And the black people are far removed from interesting major events. They live in the south.
That black woman is Galadriel and the mutt at the lower right is Legolas
fucking screencap this
Every tv show went to shit after 2013 becaues of Obama Propaganda Act
You should watch The Marshal of Finland
In winter 2012 Yle reported on a forthcoming Mannerheim film, which would be an international production. Information of the film being filmed in a foreign country became to public, before Yle had time to organize a press conference on August 16, 2012.
Erkko Lyytinen got the idea for the film in Kenya from an Estonian producer Ken Saan. Saan had asked from Lyytinen if he had any project that could be filmed at Kenya. According to Lyytinen, Saan's aspect at the production was a major success of the movie filming. The screenplay was written by a Kenyan work group. Yle gave to scriptwriters the necessary facts, but the group created the portrait of Mannerheim themselves. Originally the film was going to be a war film, but turned out to be a biographical film, because it was too hard to shoot the war scenes at the bad circumstances.
The film was shot around Nairobi in May and June. Gilbert Lukalia was chosen to be a director of the film in just 12 hours before the start of filming. They also made a six-part documentary of making the film called Operation Mannerheim, which cost about 100,000–150,000 €, even though the movie itself cost only 20,000 €.
>And the black people are far removed from interesting major events. They live in the south.
the show is based on numenor at their peak, possibly leading to the downfall. they'd sailed the entire world and had established ports far south, part of the reason the people from the south are willing to go to war against gondor in LOTR, other than fear of sauron, is they have history with the men of the west dicking them.
Fuck off faggot
bottom right a cute.. a cute!
It still breaks suspension of disbelief to see black people in “middle earth” though, you can’t even deny it
Not once did Tolkien write with anyone with black skin, only half troll men in the far South. Haradrim are based on Arabs or Persians.
Yeah but you are kidding yourself if you think every black character will be portrayed as being on the bad side. Tolkien's world is pretty black and white, no pun intended.
>screencap this
so we can look back and laugh at you? galadriel's casting has already been confirmed and legolas hasn't been born in the show's time period.
