so will they be casting some POC in any roles or would that just warrant the launching of a million internet trolls?
Depends. They shouldnt be casting POC for any characters that dont come from Rhûn or have ancestors from Rhûn. Middle Earth is modeled on Anglo-Saxon Britain and is predominantly white just like the British isles were in the first millennium AD. So the cast should be either entirely or mostly white. And there definitely shouldnt be any dark skinned elves. There shouldnt be any Asian actors playing elves either unless they are going to cast Asian actors in all the elvish roles. Elves should be a much more homogeneous race/species than humans.
But this is Amazon and they'll want to act woke so I expect them to copy what's being done with Witcher and cast POC actors in roles even when it makes no good ****ing sense.
