Yeah, this. (But if they’re going to dick around with Jewish-coded fantasy characters, they should at least cast Jewish people. Non-white-passing Jewish people.)
The Hobbit movies didn’t do enough to rid the antisemitic theme of the book. When the majority of humor about the character of Thorin Oakenshield is about how he’s a dick and obsessed with gold, then it’s the common opinion, so it did not do enough. I am tired of Jewish coded obsessed-with-riches fantasy characters.
