Every time someone b***hes about the black Aragorn cards in the Magic set and I point out native Aragorn from this, they sputter and spew "NO ITS NOT THE SAME, ARAGORN WILL NEVER BE WHITE AGAIN"
Why are you arguing with morons?
Why are you arguing about magic?
Why are you arguing with morons about magic?
>it's fine for Aragorn to be black because one time he was drawn tan

Congratulations! You missed the point! You're an idiot!
You were arguing with morons about magic. What were you expecting?
Back to to twitter with you.
I've been on Cinemaphile long than you.
go back
Thing is there is a specific race of people in middle earth that is black. And that is not Aragorn's ancestry.
Okay? And?
The cards and the animated movie are adaptations. Adaptations can have differences.
Just because a difference exists doesn't mean it's meaningful or good
Black people don't give a shit about the lord of the rings anyway
Yes. Those are bad adaptions with arbitrary changes.
That anon was talking about people complaining that once a white character has been race swapped once, they are race swapped for all future versions because it'd be racist to make them white again. He said they were full of shit for complaining that Aragorn would be black from now on when he's already been native and that didn't influence how he looked in future adaptations. He could have done a better job of reiterating this instead of just getting pissy. Regardless this gay discussion has probably derailed whatever OP was trying to do with this thread.
Italian/Squaw >>>>>> 14%ers.
Why aren't you reading stories written by black people instead of Americanised slop of a story created specifically to give the English a mythology of their own?
There really is something nice about the Bakshi version, and I think it captured the spirit of the books more closely in many ways. It's... quieter, somehow, more somber, but that also makes the brutal moments hit harder.
