Okay, I'm one of those who has pointed out a few times (to no avail) that this decision would cause major issues with the canon and setting (I've read all the books two times over the years). I'm also among those who refused to see Ben Hur and Gods of Egypt because of the ridiculous casting choices. |
Yeah, but why?
I believe I've read all of your posts (but I could be wrong. This is a big thread), but I've yet to see a convincing reason why there can't be any minorities in this fictional world. It doesn't matter if the fictional world was inspired by Scandinavia, because it is a fictional world. To have someone who is Asian, you don't have to start throwing Samurai into the story, they can just look a little different. Writing fantasy is about creating worlds and cultures. If a brown person destroys that world, then that seems to me to be a shortcoming of the source material, and I personally have a little more faith in The Witcher.
