Meh. Diversity was the least of RoP's problems. Poor writing, corny dialogue, and awful pacing however...

I agree that they actually made very solid minority hires but they kept tripping over themselves into making them tokens. We shouldn't have one black dwarf or one black elf, if you are making that choice then make their region broadly conform to them.

Ate you just talking about characters with speaking parts, because there were multiple black dwarves seen in the Khazad-dum scenes.

I havent watched it, but there was a pretty big backlash on the Irish subreddits for racism and its portrayal of Irish accents and influenced characters. That would put a lot off before it even gets played.

It does kind of distract though. I kept having the thought, "is there some sort of genocide that happens?" How do you go from an age of high diversity to low diversity? It should be the other way around.

The onlu corny dialogue was from Garadial. Everyone seemed to talk normaly except her. Like someone who majors in literature and goes to a cheap pub for a beer to speak to strangers.

Nah there was a lot of corny dialogue across the board, not just from Galadriel.
"I'm good!", "The sea is always right", "Do you know why a ship floats?", etc...
