How does LOTR explain black elves/ hobbits biologically/ historically?

Black skin comes from high melanin levels which is associated with generations of exposure to direct sunlight

Those elves all live in the woods and have little sunlight, chances are very low that theyd evolve to be black even if they did wouldnt that affect all of them? And if I'm not mistaken Tolkien had actual black people living in the south. So those people went to Elven lands and bred with them? Thats the only explaination

Also that Amazon show is set many years before LOTR. What happened to all the black elves? Why didnt they sign up for the war? Where were they?



Sorry didnt watch the show pls aware me.

logic doesn't apply to woke peeps, that is why they are censoring reviews on imbd.

They explain it by claiming that if you question this, it's because you're racist.
There is but one path....we kill them all.

Opie,

Well considering it's all fictional including the history they can pretty much just do whatever they feel like doing.

It's fiction man. Let black people be elves. You don't need to take your racism into the fantasy world too, this one shoukd be enough.

Bruh chits not real world. I grew up with Lotr it had only white people in it thats how I accepted it.

LOTR of my childhood had dragons and orcs etc. That is not s problem. Ask me if they presented dragons differently then itd be an issue

Theyre just ruining the image in my head. Its like blacks playing in a mongolian movie or japanese people playing in a movie set in 10th century Africa

Look, if i went and watched a movie based on chinese mythology i dont want to see random white people that have no business being there. at that point im no longer in the fantasy, im in the modern world i was looking to escape when i went to watch the movie in the first place.

good fictional worlds are believable in their own right. they clearly did this for no reason other than to check a box. They explicitly said they wanted to make middle earth more like the world we live in. thats a problem, because Middle Earth is NOT the world we live in.

Not only does it make no biological sense, it makes no sense with in the world itself unless there was a thorough ethnic cleansing at some point.

It really ****s with everything.

Imagine watching black panther and they cast a bunch of white guys in there in roles where they just shouldn't be. And it's not even that they shouldn't be there... no one would give a fuk if certain characters were whatever color, it's the fact they cast these characters for reasons that have nothing to do with the story, it's political, and that shouldn't have any place in story telling.

They're even including scenes that have racial undertones that are outside of the racial undertones that should be involved in the story. Like dwarfs and elves should be a bit racist against each other, they don't like each other. But they create scenes like the tavern scene where the black elf enters a tavern and the white humans are like "what is your kind doing here", and fuk me, you know know what they were doing there.

If there's a bunch of black chads within the lotr universe created by the creator of lotr, ya'd love to see it... but they need to fk off with pushing their agendas in fantasy story telling. We're here for a fantasy story, not for the storytellers to virtue signal how diverse they are.

Then the actors/actresses say things like "you can believe the magic n stuff that happens, but you can't believe a black X exists?"

I don't care if a black X exists, I don't want a black X created for reasons alternative to the story.

These same people would be fkin outraged if they casted a white guy as black panther, or in some role where they shouldn't exist within that universe... and rightfully so, it would be retarded. And while watching it you'd be like... why the fk have they casted a white guy in a black panther movie in that role?

But of course you're a racist for pointing out common sense.

In before the next wave happens and there's a push to include asian bro's
In before wave after that where there's a push to stop using the english language and start talking in a foreign tongue

Answer this -

Why don't they cast a dwarf as an elf?
A dwarf is not an elf.

but also, elves and orcs are actually explained in the lore. random black elves and dwarves that make no biological sense are not explained. let alone their disappearance in later stories. although it wont surprise me if later on white male Sauron cleansed them

Remember when the Great Wall fantasy movie came out starring Matt Damon and everyone called it racist for not using a Chinese actor for a Chinese fantasy story? Okay now reverse that for LOTR which is based on European (mostly Anglo Saxon) fantasy and Christian theology, yet you’re also racist for questioning why non-whites play the good guys in the movies. Clown world is a joke.

Sauron couldnt have done it everyone hates him. If there was a purge, since that it was succesful as seen in LOTR trio it should have been someone that is loved by everyone.

Fukin Gandalf holocausted the black elves. Cant be anyone else

It's fantasy - all made up. You might be looking into this too much srs. I doubt fantasy writers consider melanin levels of characters especially considering that other characters can shoot magic out of a crooked wooden stick and fly around on strange, highly improbable animals.

Because the white author stole the idea from the original J.R.R. Tolkien who had a story culturally enriched with POCs. That original author was called Jamal Ricardo J'han Tolkien.

Explaining things using biology and history is racist. Questioning things is racist.

There you go, problem solved.
