Amazon’s casting choices don’t reflect the true racial diversity in Tolkien’s works and are focused on tokenism over real efforts to tackle the flaws in the text and make an inclusive vision of Arda
Amazon’s one major POC actress is playing a role that canonically involves her throne and her power being stolen from her by a genocidal colonizer who wants to exterminate the religious minority she’s part of
Amazon fired their Tolkien consultant and their unsafe set conditions caused the injuries of stuntpeople
Amazon as a company is unethical, directly opposed to progressive causes, and openly emotionally manipulating viewers to get them to watch the show
Amazon has done more real harm to actual people of color and other marginalized groups than their efforts to include nonwhite actors in relatively small or stereotypical roles can address
Amazon’s promotional materials for this show treat fans of color as props to further their agenda
REPOST THIS ANYWHERE YOU LIKE AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE.
A while ago, i had many people request that i draw dragonsick Thorin. I finished this piece shortly after but always hesitated to post it. I think its probably because im really not used to this style but ive come to terms with it anyway. Honestly dont think i wouldve found the courage to post it if it werent for the amazing folks on discord. A big thank you to @mrkida-art for helping me out with this piece!
Oh
This is worse than the time we all were hazbin hotel characters
I think we are sleeping on Charlie's determination and goals
Because when she, Vaggie and Angel confront Pentious and the last two want to kill him, Charlie lets that out as an option. She doesnt tell them "NO", she knows they are in Hell and that's normal, and that redeeming the souls comes from EACH one of them. She knows Sir Pentious story, so she knows how to help.
That's why she hasn't been able to help Angel, because she didnt know the extend of the abuse. And since Angel didnt want help she couldn't do it.
So when we go into episode 4 you see the reasons why forcing yourself into helping isn't that easy. Sure, Charlie could have killed Valentino but that doesn't help Angel and what he is going through. It's not only the abuse, but the cycle of self-hatred that came with it. And it's not one day, it's a process and Charlie KNOWS THAT.
I dont know, im so used to see this "oh, one song, 2 episodes and we are all fine" it's refreshing seeing the protagonist actually stoping and say "this is not easy, i need to work with this people and find ways to help" instead of just pressuring them to change in one second or one single speech.
And that's how redemption works! It's a process and you have to start somewhere!
Im babbling at this point but like, props really to Charlie and how they are handling her character and her ideas.

I NEED UNCLE FIZZ FANART RN
You're in luck cus Fizzy saw her TV performance and that she was upset about how people didn't like it, and he immediately went into uncle-hype-mode and they're gonna have a duet now
Nuzi and Oilrose being neighbors would equal a lot of screaming between Uzi and J
