Can anyone explain to me why Peter B. Jackson hates dwarves so much? I know he does because of what he did to Gimli in the movies.
First, he uses makeup that the actor is allergic to, so that Gimli looks like a squinting beady-eyed c0ck-eyed lazy-eyed dimwit.
Then he decides Gimli is good for nothing constructive so let's just use him for the comic relief. After all, he's short, what could be funnier?
In Return we have the drinking contest? How frickin' ridiculous is that? Everyone knows dwarves can drink you under the table, what the heck was PJ thinking?
When it comes time to release the 'army of the dead' losers, Gimli says not to, even though Aragorn has given his word. Very dishonorable and inappropriate and never would have really happened with a real dwarf in real life.
In Two Towers, the whole falling off the horse thing. Getting stuck under a warg. Being a pompous ass every chance he gets. Oh, haha, he can't see over the wall at Helm's Deep. Isn't that hilarious? Hahaha, let's give PJ another Oscar!
He never gets as many fight scenes as the other dudes, either. Even though he's the coolest of them all and kills with more style and panache.
Plus the whole stupid dwarf tossing thing, as though a man could just throw a full-grown dwarf in full armor like a 5-lb. sack of potatoes. Idiotic I say! Moronic! Insulting!
Not the beard! Yeah, please, let me fall and die instead.
I hope to God PJ gets over this blatant dwarf-racism before he makes The Hobbit or he'll ruin Thorin & Co too.
