Last week the first images of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerthe new series of this beloved franchise that will arrive this year at Amazon Prime Video. Although generally speaking the community seems to have been satisfied with what was presented, a controversy arose around the appearance that the dwarfs will have in this next project.
In addition to the complaints about the skin tone of these characters, now the community demands that the dwarfs also have beards, as it is represented in the books of JRR Tolkien. The application even got its own page on change.org, where at the time of writing it has barely collected about 500 signatures.
As you may have already noticed, the community of The Lord of the Rings is one of the most passionate in the entire medium, and any change made to the original work of J. R. R. Tolkien is always scrutinized by fans. We don’t believe that amazon I’m going to change the appearance of the dwarves for a simple request, but surely this controversy will grow even more once the series premieres this year.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power arrives at Amazon Prime Video on September 2, 2022.
Publisher’s note: We haven’t seen much of it yet, but I have faith that Amazon will manage to do a good job with the series. The Lord of the Rings franchise definitely has a lot of lore to explore, and I hope this project is well received by fans and critics alike.
