Ethan Shanfeld It was a good run, but after many pleasantly uneventful decades it would appear we need to add “Lord of the Rings” to the ever-growing list of toxic fandoms. What sent some “Rings of Power” viewers over the edge? Why, the inclusion of a few nonwhite characters, of course — what else? Just as “Star Wars” had to do earlier this year, the “Rings of Power” folks felt compelled to clarify that “Our world has never been all white, fantasy has never been all white, Middle-earth is not all white” in a message sent across the show’s social channels yesterday.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” star Ismael Cruz Córdova is the first person of color to play an elf in a screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s groundbreaking fantasy series — and as the actor himself tells it, the public reception to his casting hasn’t been all warm and fuzzy.
Spoiler alert! This article contains discussion of plot details from “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 1, Episode 2 – “Adrift.”)As viewers came to learn in the second episode of the season, Robert Aramayo’s character, Elrond, had insulted his friend, Prince Durin IV of the dwarves, by not visiting him in two decades – a more significant amount of time for a dwarf than for the almost eternal elves. So, after he was refused entry to the Dwarves’ home, Khazad-dûm, Elrond invoked the Rite of Sigin-tarâg, a rock-breaking endurance test that if he lost, would leave him banished from their kingdom forever.Filming the scene was complex, Aramayo told TheWrap, due to the height differences between the elves and dwarves.“It was really, really, really fun.

Spoiler alert! This article discusses plot details from the first two episode of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”)After King of the Elves Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker) told Galadriel that her fight was over, she was sent with the warriors she commanded back to Elven ancestral home Valinor, as an eternal gift. Although Galadriel struggled to accept the king’s decision, and even had a long conversation with Elrond (Robert Aramayo) about it (he told her it was time to lay down her sword), she set off on the ship bound for the paradise anyway, despite her concerns Sauron was still out there. But, just as she and her battalion were crossing over into the light, Clark’s Galadriel character decided to make a leap of faith (in herself, and her knowledge) and jumped into the sea to return to Middle Earth, aware her battle is far from over.“So something I really focused on with Galadriel was the guilt she was carrying,” Clark told TheWrap about the scene (you can watch her discuss the moment in the video above).
