Look, Aragon is described in the source material as of pale completion, dark hair with grey flecks, and green eyes. He is Dúnedain, descended from the numenorean (sp), which are also described as pale skinned, dark haired, and tall. To me, that suggests Tolkien wrote him white.
But guess what: people can make whatever adaptions they want. He’s a fictitious character.
If you don’t like it, just don’t consume it!
Also, canonically Aragorn and the Numenoreans can’t grow beards, but no one is ever mad about that lol
EDIT: Numenoreans can grow beards, but not the royal line, which is part elvish
Thought it was that it took way longer for them to hit “beard age”
Also the pictured Aragon has a beard to so that’s a moot point
Maybe he’s just pale for a human, because all humans are black in LOTR. The elves are brown, and that’s pale from a human perspective.
Yeah, they’re very much taking a dump on the source material there.
Lol, you didn’t read the whole message, did you? ;)
this is totally rad
Yeah, I think the art on Blaragorn’s card looks phenomenal. His dark complexion next to all the lighter colors around him creates a very nice visual.
But does it preserve our fantasy heritage in our fantasy world where nothing is real, and everything is literally imaginary?
The… checks notes …black people in Lord of the Rings are destroying western civilization!!!
And they’re doing so through my commander’s art who leads my fictitious army where we pretend to be wizards.
Fuck WOTC but I don’t care what color Aragorn’s skin is lol.
Tolkien hated bigots btw
The Woke Mind Virus is killing the Lord of the Rings. The Woke Mind Virus is killing the Lord of the Rings. Sir, the Lord of the Rings is slain. At whose hand?
The Woke Mind Virus
Is that from LOTR Sleepy Edition without pronouns?
Blaragorn is a white card. They literally can’t be mad he is white according to MtG rules.
cishets on their way to get triggered about REAL problems (man is black in series)
Wait wait after decades of satanic panic they are now D&D fans ?
The hobbits are going to Woke Mind Virus.
Man just enjoy the interpretation. If not then just go away. Plenty of regular lotr stuff to be enjoyed.
Let embrace lord nurgle and spread the woke virus to everyone nyaaaaa no more bigots
