Title text: No, we actually do have a woman who’s basically part of our fellowship. She lives in Rivendell, you wouldn’t know her.
“Why are there no women or children in this band of medieval warriors? Social and societal division of labour, what’s that?”
LOTR is not set in the medieval period. Its a made up era with made up cultures and made up magic. And if you’re going to get all Thermian argument about it, LOTR lore has many female warriors.
How can he say that? Legolas is like right there.
It took me an awfully long time to realise that Legolas was played by Orlando Bloom, that Bloom was the name of that guy from Pirates of the Caribbean, and that that guy and Legolas were the same. In my defence I was around toddler age when the LotR films came out. It must have been a great time having LotR and Harry Potter plus other fantasy being put out.
It was an amazing time. I miss those days, as all do who live through such times.
