I just read this

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gandalf-should-be-a-woman-in-new-lord-of-the-rings/1100-6470296/

Some believe that Gandalf should become a woman either in the new TV show or in a new movie, what do you think about this? Should Gandalf become a woman?

Why would Gandalf turn into a woman between the Hobbit and LotR since that's when the show takes place?

I rather just have McKellen again.

No, gender swaps are so lazy.

Ian Mckellen already said he'd love to be Gandalf again in the Amazon show. At the end of the day, that is what fans will appreciate the most.

Here's a thought: why not create a new story, world, mythology, etc. with a woman wizard if it's that socially important to do?

It's taking place in the Second Age. Isn't that long long before The Hobbit ever happens?

And no way in hell should Gandalf become a women. It's not "time" for it to happen. The character is a man. Why can't people just enjoy stories for what they are. Why is there this need to gender and race swap, which essentially almost always only happens with white male characters. If they did this then the show would be dead on arrival.

No. Keep the characters the way they are. Stop changing their genders and races for cheap social points thats not why nerds watch these things. They watch them to see their favorite characters fight in live action.

They would lose far far more fans then they would gain. I mean is there anyone that actually knows what Lord of the Rings is and doesn't watch it that would seriously go "oh the old wizard is a woman now? Well now I'm going to watch it!" I mean you might find five people on the planet that will, and a hundred times as many won't watch because they fucked up the character.

Besides it's bee shown time and time again those people that whine and cry and protest and then demand "diversity" for the sake of diversity don't actually give a shit about whatever the game/show/movie is. They don't go out and buy it. They just want to troll by ruining it for the actual fans so they can "fight the patriarchy."

Oh, I didn't realize that they're not going with that. The original rumors had said it was between that with a young Aragorn.

Still, no need for a female Gandalf when the actor wants to reprise the role.

That's stupid. Isn't Galadriel enough for superpowered matriarch?
