There will be a few basic points that I will criticize based on the trailer. In this process, I have examined the criticisms of many people. yes, racial representation is good in terms of intent, but in a universe where races have distinctive characteristics in type, making wrong choices is a matter of taste.
Let's come to this, I am complete at one point. ie a black elf, a black dwarf etc. okay, we said yes to that too, but the elf's short hair and the dwarf woman's hairless are serious mistakes. I think like this. because the middle earth universe is not just about Tolkien or the visual depictions created by peter jackson. There are many universes in the world that have been formed in this sense and that have become entrenched in minds, such as the universe of warcraft.
Now, maybe we have never seen a black dwarf in the universe of Tolkien, but in the universe of warcraft, since the dwarfs were formed from the rocks in the depths of the mountain, their skin colors changed over time. For this reason, there are dwarves (dark iron clan) in shades of black and gray in this universe. Of course, they are not exactly in brown tones, they are in more gray tones, but for those who are familiar with this universe, there is not a very grinning detail in the series, having a black dwarf. however, it was necessary to be meticulous about the fact that this player was really a dwarf. that is, when we see it, we should be able to say "this woman is of the dwarf race" at first sight.
