I watched some of the *Rings of Power*. I skipped through the first two episodes -- every time a nigger came on screen, I skipped past the nigger. My impression is of cheapness. Nothing seems to have any depth. The acting is shallow, the writing is trite, the special effects are underwhelming. The elves are just .... wrong. Tolkiens elves are other-worldly creatures. They are all graceful and beautiful. That's their nature. The elves in the *Rings of Power* are ugly, lumpy-faced oafs. They don't look like Tolkien's elves. And I'm talking about the white elves. The black elves are, of course, a complete travesty and a joke. I hate ... hate is too weak a word ... the pseudo-hobbits. I hate very single one of them. I will say this in praise of the series, however -- they did get the look of the white, male dwarves right. The nigger female dwarf, O my God. I can't even look at her. By the way, has anyone else noticed that her hair is lop-sided?
