They're all dressed in gray rags and boring. Where is the splendor of the mightiest dwarven kingdom at the prime of their civilization? Not even their metal is polished. Greatest craftsmen of the world my ass.
who said anything about modern day wear, you pathetic paid marketer?
it doesn't take that much effort to think of some cool ceremonial wear for a fictional race obsessed with riches
somehow, no one on a set of a billion fricking dollar production was able to do it, so they decided to dress the actors in shit that comic con fricking lapers would be embarrassed to wear
I will put money on her originating from one of the dwarven clans in the east/south that Tolkien never really talked about. Then moved to Khazad-dum after meeting Durin
That just makes it weirder. Why are 99% of dwarves white and then the queen is black? Makes no sense
I will put money on her originating from one of the dwarven clans in the east/south that Tolkien never really talked about. Then moved to Khazad-dum after meeting Durin
She's from Harad and is sent by her father to forge an alliance with Khazad-Dum by marrying Durin.
they literally and unironically put fricking grass in the picture. the thing everyone knows the size of. just to show that the dwarves are normal sized. they literally did it to show just how much contempt they have for everything they're doing. holy shit.
and that excuses it because?
it's the fricking thing they're using to sell the show to people. and they could be bothered to make dwarves look like dwarves.
by the way, are you the same guy that answers with that line every time someone makes fun of "Galadriels" yoga pants, or do you alternate the roles?
and why, pray say, one of the biggest corporations on the planet should be excused of giving a single frick about the marketing photoshoot of their biggest show?
If you understood this industry at all you would know that it is almost always the magazine that hires and does the photography.
In some of these covers and promo images they are not even wearing the same style of prosthetics as on the show, obviously because the team the magazine brought with them can't get their hands on all the same stuff as the production and wouldn't be able to apply them properly even if they could.
They just make do with what they can supply themselves.

so are you the same guy or do you alternate the roles?
and please say the line again, it gets funnier with every new picture you excuse it with
"they made it look like shit on purpose because uhhhhhhh"
>the thing everyone knows the size of
I know this may be new information for a shut in hikikomori but grass doesn't have a fixed size? It can be tall or short depending on when it was cut or how much water and sunshine it got dumbass.
I honestly dont even mind the ugly Galadriel, or the modern haircuts on the male elves anymore. I hands down dont give a shit about the terrible costume design, or about that male black elf. Atleast the male black elf looks elven-like in the context of aesthetics with high cheek bones and an elegant face.
The only thing I cannot and will not get past is that they had to cast that woman as a relevant Dwarf. The whole point of fantasy and high fantasy is immersion. It supposed to distract you from this real world we live in. The second I see that woman, it takes me out of the "world" and reminds me how fake and idiotic the show is. She ruins immersion, thats worse than a bad plot.
>Prince Durin >Prince >Durin
Fricking hell, Durin is literally the first thing the reader learns about when it comes to Dwarves in Middle Earth, and they still got it wrong.
Should be rows of braids with gold pearls and gemstones woven in. Oh, wait, setting stones requires a specialist and they couldn't afford one of those.
Why is a dwarf white????
I get it. Black folk.
Chud
Nuke amerishart
They look cool
didn't know dwarves were around 6ft 250lbs during the first age
They seriously can't do anything right
>Shown 15 Khazad-dum dwarves so far
>Only 1 is non-white
I told you she was a token
It’s spelled Tolkein
They're all dressed in gray rags and boring. Where is the splendor of the mightiest dwarven kingdom at the prime of their civilization? Not even their metal is polished. Greatest craftsmen of the world my ass.
wait till you see how the fricking Numenor nobles at the peak of their might are dressing in ill-fitted potato sacks
But scales! You see, it's a theme! SCALES EVERYWHERE! Just like Tolkien designed their armor! Right?
It's quite clearly ceremonial wear. They are not dressing to impress guests while honouring their dead you autist.
That's why you go to funerals in a potato sack and not a dress suit.
>Why arent Tolkien Dwarves wearing modern day funeral wear
Are you literally autistic?
Now you're just being moronic.
who said anything about modern day wear, you pathetic paid marketer?

>Let women design costumes in fantasy/sci-fi movie
>Everyone is dressed in rags
Every single time
a woman did the costume design for LotR trilogy and it's never been topped, god i miss her
On ROP it's Kate Hawley, who worked on The Hobbit movies but not LOTR
Because she created period costumes. The moment you ask the to be creative, you get rags and silly colorful and weird designs that ake no sense.
Bruh
Obviously anon meant to say "diversity hires," specifically.
which is just as bad when she, literally, gets all the spotlight
That just makes it weirder. Why are 99% of dwarves white and then the queen is black? Makes no sense

>token front and centre
She's from Harad and is sent by her father to forge an alliance with Khazad-Dum by marrying Durin.
So shes a dwarf from Harad?
Still one too many.
Its racist and sexist to say dwarves are short.
they literally and unironically put fricking grass in the picture. the thing everyone knows the size of. just to show that the dwarves are normal sized. they literally did it to show just how much contempt they have for everything they're doing. holy shit.
You know these are just for a photoshoot, right?
and that excuses it because?

>2dumb2 understand the difference between magazine photoshoots and actual footage
Is it just a coincidence we are currently in peak Hispanic hours?

and a random string of numbers as a filename
already told you that it gives you away immediately

it's a clamp, not a lawn, it's size is universal you fricking embarrassing twat
Its dissecated grass though, doesnt loook like it'll grow much anon
Holy shit what a homosexual you are
that Black person really looks disgusting, it's fricking slimy, look at those fatty Black person hands
Remember when Angelina got roasted for this shit?
So her beard is on her legs instead?
Why do they respect how some characters' looks are described in the books but then completely ignore others? This picture is the prime example
How did Jackson make Gimli look like a proper dwarf? Because these just look like regular sized people.
All scenes Gimli is in, he's either with a regular sized person to put his size in context, or the camera doesn't actually show his entire body.
the camera zooms in on his face whenever he talks
Prosthetics and camera tricks.
is she half orc?

>non bearded female
Into the trash it goes.
>her hair is totally a beard you guys!
Frick you Bezos. Frick you.
>"we created one that's really regal"
>Black person pubic hair

That's big forearms.
