5/25/2023 0 Comments Amazon reviews![]() I saw one review that spent a whole paragraph on how the elves shouldn’t have short hair. I assume it’s possible that outright racist/sexist reviews are policed and deleted, leaving the ones that are more about the substance of the show, the characters, the writing, and the supposed lack of faithfulness to Tolkiens’ work. Most of the 1 star reviews you can see are focused on the show not being faithful to Tolkien's source material, and I am not seeing any of the “dwarves and elves shouldn’t be black” type pushback we’ve seen on the internet about the show. His sacrifice was so noble that the Valar reembodied him in Valinor almost immediately.” ![]() There was nothing dark or bitter about his death. ![]() The ring he gave to Barahir is the same ring worn by Aragorn in the War of the Ring thousands of years later. ![]() His heroic death and the deeds which led to that death are symbolic of the bond of friendship between Elves and the Edain. “Who is this disagreeable and unlikeable person you've got pretending to be Galadriel? Where is the Elf-Lord she has been married to for about a thousand years at this point? Where is the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel? Where is the wife of Elrond? Why is Galadriel trying to avenge her brother Finrod, who isn't dead at all, but alive and well in Valinor? The nobility, faithfulness, and true heartedness of Finrod Felagund is legend in Middle Earth. ![]() There are of course, lengthy 1 star reviews as well, this one focused on what it views as a poor presentation of Galadriel and the elves: ![]()
