Exactly. We've already got the elves for conventional eye candy. Give us dwarven women as Tolkien intended.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by MJBOLT: 8:06pm On Feb 10, 2022
nobody needs a black Legolas,they should stick to the script and stop pandering to black people.

No be say them even like the blacks in the first place

I do mind... Elves are traditionally white (Germanic) people with blonde hair and pointy ears.

Go to Twitter and see all the negative reactions flying around there. Both black and white people are disappointed with the characters.

Elves, like humans, have dark and light skin tones, thus Legolas being dark skinned isn't farfetched.

That's the beauty of adaptations: they don't have to be exact replicas of the source material. The characters of Lord of the Rings books mirrored the sociopolitical climate of the time. Likewise, the TV series should mirror the current state of affairs.

Would you say the same if a white man acts the role of a king or elder in a Nollywood movie?

I detest arguing with self-hating, inferiority complexed black men who would rather have a white man play an iconic role, rightly given to a black man, in order to reflect equality of opportunity.

I feel your frustration bro. I don't know why black people value white people over their own.

Bmf just one statement for me




THE ACTORS DON'T FIT THE CHARACTERS PORTRAIT.



it's a nice drug series.


but flops on the choice of actors they used.....they should have used more matured niggas .



All I see are kid's trying to fit into mature roles.



managed episode 1... episode 2 I can't go through.


the directors flopped.





the main act MEECH should have been played by a more hardcore looking nigha
It based on a true life story
Meech jnr who played meech snr is the biological son and he fit in according to people who witness the BMF rise to fame in the 1990s
I guess we exaggerate sometimes when being critical about some movies
