It's going to happen sooner or later, so might as well make a thread on it and I don't want to muck up the actual Tolkien thread with what may or may not be a live action television interpretation which may or may not take some liberties with the source material they are adapting.

Speaking of which, here's an actual to foment some discussion.

They will craft her to resemble Eowyn, but she will lack humility, grace, or compassion. No doubt she will be presented as a victim of her family and peers among the aristocracy, unjustly demonized for her unorthodox behavior that strives to overcome the misogynist dogma of traditional roles and vindicated by the blatant corruption of Isildur. Of course, his characterization will be drawn entirely from Jackson's prologue because the committee writing the script will see no use in referencing Tolkien's actual work.

A pessimistic prediction, but I see no other reason to create a character so wholly unnecessary than to serve as a mouthpiece.
 
Why they made something which must end in disaster ?
And if they started it,they should just made anybody lgbt+52 there.It still would be disaster,but more funny.Now,with only one woman added,it would be just boring.
 
Vanity Fair has an EXCLUSIVE first look into the billion dollar Lord of the Rings series! Pictures of a younger armor clad Galadriel (Commander of the Northern Armies) and the politically ambitious half-elf Elrond within!

Also featured are the Silvan elf Arondir, an original character portrayed by Ismael Cordova who has a forbidden love named Bronwyn whose a Human single Mother and village apothecary, Prince Durin IV who actually looks pretty decent, and another Dwarf character, Princess Disa of Khazad-dum who is portrayed by Sophia Nomvete who is already reported as being "scene stealing."

Vanity Fair said:
Amazon’s series will also broaden the notion of who shares the world of Middle-earth. One original story line centers on a silvan elf named Arondir, played by Ismael Cruz Córdova, who will be the first person of color to play an elf onscreen in a Tolkien project. He is involved in a forbidden relationship with Bronwyn, a human village healer played by Nazanin Boniadi, a British actor of Iranian heritage. Elsewhere, a Brit of Jamaican descent, Sir Lenny Henry, plays a harfoot elder, and Sophia Nomvete has a scene-stealing role as a dwarven princess named Disa—the latter being the first Black woman to play a dwarf in a Lord of the Rings movie, as well as the first female dwarf. “It felt only natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work would reflect what the world actually looks like,” says Lindsey Weber, executive producer of the series. “Tolkien is for everyone. His stories are about his fictional races doing their best work when they leave the isolation of their own cultures and come together.”

And finally there is Charlie Vickers as Halbrand "a new character who is a fugitive from his own past." 💪

This is so absurdly specific it must be satire on part of the writer, there is just no way someone can be so ignorant as to combine so many exact elements that it reads like a 4chan parody.

Vanity Fair spread the details out over the entire article because unlike me, they didn't have the courage to show just how brave this story will be.
 
Thank you Amazon for showing us how Sauron was able to corrupt the Kingdoms of Men to make it seem like he was an appealing choice over the Children of Eru.

“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them.”

I respectfully disagree. With how this series is shaping up, it will likely bring an end to the childish Black and White morality of the original series and present the viewers with more 'gray' morality, adapting the themes of Game of Thrones to show a more nuanced and multifaceted world of shifting loyalties and comparable value systems and cultures.

Speaking for myself, I just told my son about this new series and he is so excited that he's going to tell all of his little friends!

Almost as bad as i thought,they do not added good Haradrims or sexy ork girls after all.
But - why dwarves ? as far as i knew,they do not participated in those battles.Adding sexy orks girls for forbidden love would be more logical.
