"PC culture" is so conflated and exaggerated.

It would have been fine today.

I doubt it.

Look at Netflix' The Witcher. Maybe Peter Jackson is different though.

Let's be for real here and I'm left/liberal as all hell, but we all know we'd be getting "Where are the minority elves/hobbits/men/dwarves?" and "Why are all the good guys white and the bad men are black?" It happened back then too, but on a much less wider scale as it would be today.

I'm glad they were made back then because back then studios gave directors more freedom. If made today the LOTR films would be more like The Hobbit films.

I don't know anything about it but I imagine they changed the race of some character and he looks at maintaining his race as more important than the quality of the show.

This. Cultural appropriation was the argument anti-SJWs used when people thought one of the characters would be black. I lmao at that

So you can't even articulate your issues with it even through you volunteered it up as something wrong and need to have someone else make your points for you?

Also, there were already cries of racism back when the movies came out. They weren't huge in scale compared to today but I recall people saying the "whiteness" of the characters was overbearing and the villains all being dark skinned or represented by blackness was racist.

Lord of the Rings probably could have been better if it was made today and not by Peter Jackson.

And this would be true too. "WTF is this feminist cuck crap?"

When you get down to it, a lot of people just suck and will complain about anything.

People made Tolkien out to be a racist on the level of HP Lovecraft. Even in the books it's said that the peoples of Harad and Khan may not truly be evil, but tricked or forced into Sauron's service. Also, Tolkien's works have plenty of cases were the "good and pure" "white" guys do evil and also align with Sauron and/or Melkor.
