The announcement that there will be elves, dwarves, and other species of color prompts Tolkien purists to claim Amazon Studios is destroying the franchise, which of course prompts accusations of racism and bigotry from the usual suspects.

Dune and the inescapable insanity of woke art criticism
Dune is a good film and an even better book, but that’s not enough in the year 2021. It isn’t a “white savior” narrative either, though someone, somewhere said it might be.
