If this makes you mad, wait till you see what Aragorn looked like in the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings movie.

also, the books and films still exist so get over it and get a life.

LOTR cards worth anything? Got a bunch of them. Good times.
Like the LotR TCG? Not really. There are a couple that are worth a buck or two, but with no one collecting/playing there is no market.

I don't have a problem with it but it does feel wierd because LOTR movie looks are deeply ingrained in my brain.

Does look cool though the resolution/quality of the image seems low. Gamefaqs probably borked the quality up.

I think he actually looks alright.

The Legolas card though, I think looks terrible. And the Gimli one is just boring.

Also, Bounding Into Comics is basically r/KotakuInAction's favorite source. Just an awful sensationalist site

I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but making him not resemble the most popular and well-known iteration of the character at all is an interesting choice

It doesnt make me mad. Just not a fan of the decision, but not something that deters me from getting the set. Looks like you got more ruffled by my post than I did by this.

He has shaggy black hair.

Otherwise there is no particular description of him in that way.

As long as he had dark eyes then it would be just as accurate as any other depiction.

did Tolkien ever specifically say Aragorn was white? Or does everyone just assume because he was racist

Aragorn is "white" in the books due to his ancestry, but who gives a shit? It doesn't really matter at all.

But only in the sense that the people making the comments are racist as well. "Middle Earth is based on Europe" is only a defense of him being white if you also deny the existence of people of different color having existed in Europe for thousands of years.

I had to check. The quote with Aragorns appearance is As Frodo drew near he threw back his hood, showing a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes."
