A melting pot devoid of individual culture or expression. It's ridiculous. They forced as many races as they possibly could into the same scenes, representing the "same" peoples to check a box for representation (cheaply) in the most homogeneous way possible, which is half the reason this show is so uninteresting.
It removes the entire concept of having different nations with different people who are proud of their culture and ways of being, each with something unique to bring to the table, say in scenarios of war, uniting together against something evil, trade, customs, and everything else that isolated groups represent on their own.
Globalism isn't even realistic in a setting like Lord of the Rings, yet here we are.
- hackerlight 4y ago> It removes the entire concept of having different nations with different people who are proud of their culture That's not my issue. I dislike the concept of nations and national culture and borders, and I despise nationalism and ethnonationalism. I just want non-contrived diversity. That means sitcoms that have an actual diverse cast (including political conservatives, Asian and Middle Eastern men, redheads, ugly people, autistic people who aren't there as a gag, guys with small dicks, butch women, and so on) which represents the real world and doesn't alienate and shaft parts of the population for no artistic reasons. And that means a LoTR series that doesn't have diversity where it doesn't belong and where it doesn't make artistic sense.
