Though, they probably wanted the contrast to be huge between good and evil: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lotr/images/4/4d/CDA44071-BE09-48D9-9A19-6DAD50CF0C2B.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20200327083442 Edit. Actually the men of evil were poc in the films (riding the Oliphaunt etc.) That pic doesn’t load for me but, oof that’s even worse actually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg, thank you so much for the kind words! Very often I feel like the annoying user with unpopular opinions I'm glad to hear this is adding to the conversation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, not even as extras? Really? I think they were just doing their best to stay close to Tolkien's vision. I'm also not sure what's the proportion of POC people in New Zealand. Might be worth mentioning a lot of Māori actors were hired both on LOTR and The Hobbit, albeit mostly hidden under prosthetics. And each project started out with a traditional Māori ceremony blessing the sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
