There's no actual good reason to have no black people and the director of this game has said some dumb shit

How is 'there weren't black people in this place at this time' NOT a good reason?

Because it's a false statement.


So where are documented black people in Bohemia?

Give a source please.

Since we're pointing these out for being bad examples ITT now I'd like to mention one I liked.

Not that the show was fantastic but the idea of making Porthos mixed in the Three Musketeers show they did recently was neat, it created a nice little nod to Thomas-Alexandre Dumas (The father of the writer who was a general under Napoleon) and fit in with that period.

They do take them off after Sauron is revealed to have made the One Ring, they just start wearing them later for some reason.

They start wearing them again because they know Sauron doesn't have the Ring.


I was speaking of why they start wearing them at all afterwords, it seems odd to start wearing the rings after learning that an evil someone planned to corrupt you with them.

I'm not sure the ring would have affected his control at all, not that they would have known when they took them off to begin.

Given that with Celebrimbor having made them alone should prevent Sauron any kind of control with the Ring of Power.

He needed the rings of the men to control them after they were corrupted, and even with the dwarves wearing the rings he never dominated them.

The boost must have been significant, or the elves truly didn't care at all.

The one ring was created by Sauron to enhance his powers. Sauron above all else had the power to dominate the wills everyone in middle earth.

The lesser rings were created to help bend people to his will even more. Look at the one ring as a buff to Sauron psychic stat and the lesser rings are psychic debuff.

The elves found out about this and took the rings off. The dwarves didnt care about anything but gold and jewels so they couldnt be controlled. We know what happened to the men who were given rings.

Even Sauron didnt know that he was the only one that could wield it. Which is why Ford/Sam were able to succeed. Sauron was sure that everyone would use the ring not destroy it.

Is it ever mentioned what happened to the Elves' rings? Were they destroyed or are they still out there?

The Elves' rings were never influenced by Sauron. Elrond, Galadriel, and Gandalf were in possession of them throughout LOTR.


Half right. The rings worn by them werent created by Sauron. They were created by a elf named Celebrimbor in secret.

Basically magic, in the Tolkien universe, is a function of time. As time passes, the power of the elves diminishes. Celebrimbor created rings of power to slow this process. Which is why Elrond and Galadriel each had one. Gandalfs I THINK belonged to Gil Galad. The elven king from then last alliance of elves and men.

The 16-17 lesser rings created by Sauron were either destroyed or they were reclaimed by Sauron. Forget which. They were useless without the one though.

Sauron never created those rings, just the One Ring to control the rest. Celebrimbor made all the rest, Sauron just got his hands on the rings of men which is why he could directly control them. He never touched the Elven rings, but their owners still didn't use them much just in case.

Most people couldn't use the One Ring to it's full potential, it would just dominate the average person over time (like what happened to Gollum.) It would supposedly take a strong person with a strong will to power to make good use of it, although why it didn't work like that for Isildur, I don't know.


Sauron showed Celebrimbor ring making techniques, and he worked on them alongside Celebrimbor.

With the exception of the Elven rings which Celebrimbor made on his own and the One Ring which Sauron did alone.

Magic in LotR isn't often about cool spells, like fireballs etc.


Minor nitpicking here but they do some bigger magical attacks.

Elrond had his water trap, Gandalf does some magic stuff at the Black Gate, the Witch King does project flames and lights his sword on fire.

Then we have all the small mentions that they never go too much into.
The Dwarves control smoke in the Hobbit as well, racing each other around Bilbo's house with smoke rings, Aragorn has some healing thing with Tolkien mentioning King's healing, and Boromir has prophetic dreams.

It's just that they barely talk about it at all, given how Tolkien cared more about songs and wordplay than battle, although they definitely do seem less magical than other series.

Its a plot hole with a bunch of fan-splaining. The fact is the ring seems pretty useless except for invisibility. Frodo sure couldnt control the other ring bearers. There seems to be a hundred other things in middle earth more powerful than the ring, like that undead ghost army for one.


No it's not, other people can use the ring if they actually got hold of it like Galadraiel or Gandalf. But they will be corrupted by the ring in trying to use the abilities that it does have.

Frodo is just some nobody from a town where they just smoke and eat food. So he doesn't know how to use it.

evilpresident posted...
I could be very wrong here but I remember reading that the Ring does different things for different kinds of people. Hobbits become invisible because they have an innate desire to be hidden. Humans become immortal (But not invincible) because they're afraid of death. And so on.


It increases everything, hobbits are naturally sneaky to the point people lose track of them during fights (Witch King and Merry for example)

But it turns everyone invisible.

Does the ring make anyone invisible or just Frodo? It didn't seem to make Sauron invisible.

Not sure. I know it does nothing to Tom bombadill


Bombadill is above everyone, Tolkien meant to leave him unexplained but he's implied to be a personification of Middle Earth itself.

Doom_Art posted...
Like with Boromir, who says he wants to use it as a weapon against Sauron. Ditto for the other Gondor folks who stumble on it in Two Towers.

Like as far as we see all it does it make you go invisible


We see Sauron use it.

All the rings grant immortality an increase in power and further magic.

The ring whispers that it can make everything you want come true if you use it, and feeds desire for any of those.

So first off a Tumblr called "MedievalPoC" is you source here?

And what's wrong? They never give an example of black people in Bohemia, just that paintings depicting Africans were done. People were always interested in culture outside their own why do you think Aladdin "takes place" in China?

And yes, the burden of proof is on the person claiming they were around in number. That's how it works. Weird how there are documented communities for some minorities like Jews and Turkic people but not for black people almost like they weren't present there

My source is what I found when I tried to trace the outrage to its roots. That tumblr post being shown on tumblrinaction seems to have triggered a lot of shit and brought a lot of attention to the issue.

As for the credibility of the tumblr account that specializes in poc in history? I'm inclined to defer, since they seem quite well read, they present arguments in a well-structured manner, and they provide clear references.
I'm not saying anything is wrong, but to me it definitely looks like the statement that "poc in 15th century Bohemia were very very rare" isn't entirely correct. And let's be clear, I'm not talking about black people, I'm talking about people of color, because that's what MedievalPOC is talking about.


Listen I'm not going to exactly trust MedievalPoC as much as a legitimate source. It's literally a Tumblr blog.

The start was a writer attacking the game for not including black people, spinning it to be PoC to cloud the argument and go "well actually..." Is ridiculous and spinning to suit the argument.

And minorities in those days were in far fewer numbers than the minorities of today.

But to be clear Turkish people and Arabs are PoC now?

They're white on the US census, didn't people call JonTron white just last year? He'd be a "PoC" by those standards.

I despise the term PoC. I come from a multicultural family. Talk about what they are not just "Not White" (which seems to be including more and more now)

similarly, a bunch of alt righters were mad at wolfenstein 2 because the main character calls them white racist pieces of shit. they said he didn't need to say white, since minorities were commonly nazis too.

sure wish they made up their mind!


I believe the complaint was that it was out of character given his dialogue with Klaus and such in the previous game.

I've never heard talk of it being for the reasons you described.

Although just to mention it, Hitler considered the Japanese and Chinese to be racially superior to his fascist ally Italy. So having Asians as Nazis wouldn't be out of place despite them being a minority.

Not all over the place, but there were still some. Come now.


Name a black person in 15th century Bohemia. If they were some black people in that era, it should be easy to name one.

You also can't definitively prove there were no Japanese people in Bohemia if you want to make that argument too. It's dumb to just say "well you can't prove there weren't any" since you can't prove a hell of a lot of things either.

Especially as this is a small area in Bohemia, the smallest minorities in populations aren't going to be represented to be accurate.

For example there is a long history of a Jewish minority in Bohemia but seeing 40% of the game being Jewish is going to throw you out of the game, because it's inaccurate and unrealistic.

The thing is, Luke always pushed through everything, he fails every step of the way through the original trilogy with one success, until RotJ where he returns finally having command and being in charge.

He abandoned his training to save his friends when he felt the slightest inkling that they were in trouble, and risks everything on a gambit to save the friend he failed.

A 23 year old man lashing out in anger at the most powerful dark side user of all time influencing him is a totally different situation than a 48(?) Year old contemplating killing his sleeping nephew. The thing is the decision he makes by throwing away his lightsaber and saying "kill me then, I refuse" is the end of that arc.

And that's part of the problem with the sequels, the OT cast is reset. Luke has this dark side light side growth, Han is a smuggler, Liea is a Commander again. Just to rehash the same issues rather than see more growth in the new cast which we still know very little about. The only well developed one is Kylo.

Obi-Wan was finished, Yoda was finished. They didn't attempt to also focus on that many characters. Luke should have been finished and consistent rather than devoting another film, and it would be easy to keep it the same without forcing his character.

By having Luke take the development from the Prequels and keep the force out of political games, to become a pacifist after throwing away his lightsaber, or to have him take the gray Jedi view of the force is just a tool and not inherently good or evil.

Hamill delivers a great example of acting, but he doesn't like what they did and thinks it blatantly went against the character. Hamill said to play him, he had to think of him as an entirely different character, nicknaming him "Jake Skywalker" because he couldn't think of Luke being like that.

"Whoah guys he may have stood over his nephew with a loaded gun pointed at his head, but he never pulled the trigger so in reality it's all fine."

He went in there thinking about killing him and drew his saber with the intention.

The whole sequel trilogy is bad.

Honestly it's as simple as seeing the setting.

Prequels: A Senator manipulates the Galactic Council with a proxy war to get himself supreme power.

Original Trilogy: A band of Rebels make strikes against an oppressive Empire that dominates the Galaxy.

Sequel Trilogy: A band of Resistance fighters make strikes against an oppressive First Order that dominates the Galaxy.

There's nothing original at all, characters have negative development, the First Order is literally "Empire but like even bigger dude whoah", boring new characters (with one exception), extremely poor world building, lack of aliens, dropping the droids tell the story idea, contradicting how the force works.

It really is bad, it was filmed well. But that's all it has going for it.

Sort of.

We came from Kenya, these guys came from Egypt and Arabia.


Didn't they find stuff suggesting more North African roots recently?

There were some a few years back at least.

I mean, that saga was a mess to begin with, but I'm noticing a ton of inconsistency right now.

Mystic Gohan is a transformation in Super, but was described by elder Kai as a massive power boost to his base form that doesn't require super sayian

The existence of multiple supreme Kais in a universe

Other World and the hundreds of fighters there implying the galaxy isn't empty but dbs saying it p much is

Potara having a time limit (this one is the most obvious retcon)

And they're fitting all of super between some of the final episodes of z. After kid buu but before the world martial arts tournament


Beerus blew up a lot of planets, they were all dead.

Nothing interesting about "my ability improves the longer I fight".

that's not his ability though

You're also praising toppo, which is the most 2 dimensional character in existence and also the most boring besides Jiren who is the most godawful antagonist ever made in DB history.


Superheroes who are good and want to save their universe, who now have to dip into moves and techniques that they would have never used otherwise just to survive is an interesting concept for villains in a show aimed at 9 year old children.

He didnt crave power just not to lose his love. Once she was gone he literally had no reason to want to live or drive to cheat death anymore. The only reason he didnt off himself is he may have wanted revenge on palpy for her death.


This. Kind of.

I think as his apprentice, he knows that means he'll one day get to kill Sidious off. I think that was always his intention.

He didn't really have that intention until finding out about Luke, that we've seen


He still needed to learn from him in Revenge of the Sith.

First time he sees a partner in Luke (because he can't beat the Emperor in a one on one) he immediately tries to influence him and get him to join up.

I thought it was good.

Gohan is the bigger man and eliminates a stronger opponent.

He also said he could beat Frieza and it didn't seem to be empty boasting.

It's an awesome connect with the start of Z too with Frieza acting as the villain forced to help the hero as Piccolo was (although he gets better)

I like the character design.

Weird concept for a character though. How did Buu and Beerus DNA get mixed up with an android?


How did Frieza and Sayian DNA get mixed up into an Android?

Because that was the entire part of the Cell arc.

Achilles disguises as a Greek girl successfully to the point where Odysseus has to bait him into a trap to get him.

So it changes some obvious story elements along with being a dumb change.

If they want to do a diverse cast, they can cast Arabic actors as the Trojans and have the Greeks be against them. The Greeks aren't even the good guys anyhow in the conflict.

They should focus on another element in history that would be awesome, make a film about Thomas-Alexandre Dumas aka The Black Devil, the father of the writer behind The three Musketeers as well as the highest position of authority a black (half anyway) man had in the west until the 1970's or make a show about Frederick von Steuben who most people don't know was gay.

There's a lot you could do instead of just acting like something new by swapping race or gender.

I thought you just had to plug in your memory card.


That's what I had heard.

But given how it tells you when you unlock characters (you have to play as them) I have doubts about it.

You just have to finish as a character and a pop up comes up saying you unlocked them but with the courses I haven't seen anything pop.

I've won races, set new records on time trials and all that.

I can't seem to find any info online about it.
