It's one thing to treat the Bible or Koran as sacred, unalterably texts. But imagine applying that logic to kids' books, toy lines, and Marvel comics. My god.

Orientalist villains? The only non-Western (in the sense of the geography of Middle Earth) characters are the Easterlings who are a footnote - a vassal state under Sauron. All of the important and noteworthy villains in the stories are Westerners themselves.

That was one of the biggest disappointments of the last book especially for me. From a revisionist point of view I wanted so much to see the dragooned armies from the south or whatever to at least have some ideas beyond serving Sauron. Revolutionary consciousness - anything.

In LOTR, race and bloodline determine everything. Even as a kid, I noticed this, and saw the story casually endorsed orc/goblin genocide and erased their point of view. My goal was to rewrite the story from an average, working class orc perspective. This led me to anthropology.

if they want 'inclusion' then make an original story and movie, don't 'tack on' classics for easy money. is it lack of originality and imagination? why bother those classics, at all? 'black panther' was quite a success, no?
