News culture The Lord of the Rings: Frodo and Sam to the rescue of the series The Rings of Power cast. Actors from Peter Jackson movies show their support. The production of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series is under attack on social networks from a section of the community who complain about the diversity of the cast. The actors of the film trilogy have shown their support for the series. A series attacked even before its broadcast The production of the series was the victim of attacks even before anyone could see the episodes. This is how showrunner John D. Payne and executive producer Lindsay Weber declared that they were “ready for criticism” but especially not “ready for racism”. Indeed, if since the series is broadcast, some criticize certain aspects of the work, its writing, its special effects, etc., it is generally rather praised by a majority of fans. But some continue to complain about one and the same aspect: the skin color of several characters. Frodo and Sam to the rescue! A good part of the Lord of the Rings fanbase began to like Tolkien’s work the release of Peter Jackson films. That’s why some of the main actors from the original trilogy were keen to show their support. This is how we saw Elijah Wood, alias Frodo Baggins, Dominic Monaghan, alias Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Billy Boyd, alias Peregrin Touque, posting a photo on Twitter. They are seen wearing a t-shirt displaying the phrase “You are welcome here” in Elvish. We can also see a series of ears of humans, hobbits, elves, dwarves, of different skin colors. Sean Astin, the interpreter of Samsagace Gamegie, also posted a similar photo, wearing a cap with the same motifs. “Anyone who groans is either a racist or hasn’t read their Tolkien” In addition to various fans who appreciated the support of the cast of films for the Amazon-produced series, the actors of the series also thanked their predecessors. Thus, we can see Owain Arthur, interpreting the dwarf prince Durin IV, commenting on the publication of Elijah Wood saying “A real community. Thank you guys”. Ismael Cruz Cordova, who plays the role of Arondir on screen, expressed “A lot of love” for the message. For his part, Benjamin Walker, the elf king Gil-galad in the series, also thanked them. Finally, let’s mention Bear McCreary, the composer of the original soundtrack of the series (also known for the soundtracks of the game God of War and the series Agents of SHIELD), who also thanked Sean Astin. Without direct relation to the series, Neil Gaiman, the creator of The Sandman, had recently recalled that Tolkien had indeed written that the Pievelus, ancestors of the Hobbits, were “of a darker skin color”. Gaiman had concluded “So I think whoever complains is either racist or hasn’t read his Tolkien”.
