Seriously, to follow up on this, if “women and people of color” can’t like LOTR because the films don’t give them “some characters they can relate to” (meaning of course characters that are women and people of color), I have to wonder how it is that the wildly successful “Finding Nemo” sold the first ticket. (No offense intended to our filmgoing finned friends, of course.)
Maybe, and I realize this is a radical notion, but just maybe people relate to a good story as opposed to the film’s racial & gender beancount.
