: Lord of the Rings actress lobbies for a female Gandalf
: https://tinyurl.com/yy4jn4yh
: Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings TV series is one of many epic
: fantasy shows coming down the pipeline now that HBO’s Game of Thrones has
: come to an end. And one of Game of Thrones’ greatest strengths was its
: portrayal of strong and fleshed-out female characters, many of whom defied
: the traditional tropes of the fantasy genre. We wanted to follow their
: stories just as much as — if not more than — their guys in the cast.
: All of the series trying to become the “next Game of Thrones” will have to
: make the same kinds of strides when it comes to representing women if they
: hope to have the same impact, and Robyn Malcolm, who portrayed Morwen in
: Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movies (the Rohirrim woman who sped
: her two children away in The Two Towers when Saruman’s forces attacks),
: knows how Amazon’s new show can do just that.
: In an interview with Stuff, the actress, who appeared in The Lord of the
: Rings: The Two Towers, suggested that the upcoming TV series give Gandalf’s
: role to a woman. “Those old legends, those old mythical stories, they’re s
o
: based within a patriarchal landscape,” Malcolm said. “Why not look at the
: magic of a matrilineal world, where the magical powerhouses are women?”
: It would be refreshing to see some of these stories with a more diverse cast
.
: Making the “magical powerhouse” of The Lord of the Rings a woman may creat
e
: a role similar to that of Moiraine, the Aes Sedai from Robert Jordan’s The
: Wheel of Time series, which is also being adapted by Amazon and touted as th
e
: next Game of Thrones.
: “We’ve got uteruses, and back in the day, there was a real sort of magic
: and sacredness and sort of brutality around that,” Malcolm added. “We’ve
: had female Hamlets. Why not?”
: Malcolm went on to list her picks for the role, saying that the chosen
: actress would need to have “gravitas and a real lot of personal power” to
: pull it off. Among her suggestions were Rena Owen, Rachel House, Dame Judi,
: Eileen Atkins, and Maggie Smith.
: Now, this suggestion is purely academic, because Amazon’s show is set durin
g
: the Second Age of Middle-earth, before Gandalf and the other wizards turned
: up. So Gandalf very probably won’t appear in the show at all, as a man or a
: woman.
: But let’s continue with this as a thought experiment anyway. If a series
: were to go ahead with a female Gandalf, it would likely receive a fair amoun
t
: of backlash from hardcore Tolkienites. We’ve seen similar reactions to
: broadening the casts of franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic
: Universe, and it’d be bound to happen here as well. In fact, some fans have
: already expressed their disapproval of a female Gandalf, while others are
: just flabbergasted by the idea of Gandalf not being played by Sir Ian
: McKellen, which, okay, fair.
: Nerdrotic’s Gary Buecher even uploaded a video about how much he disliked
: the idea. “No,” he says. “It’s time for you to create your own goddamned
: story. Now, Lord of the Rings, Tolkien, that’s where I put my foot down and
: I have promised…I will dedicate my entire channel to bringing down Amazon i
f
: they screw with Lord of the Rings.”
: Again, this isn’t going to happen in any case, but the passion here should
: tell you something.
: Unfortunately, women writers have frequently been barred from the genre up
: until fairly recently, so creating “their own goddamned story” may be more
: difficult than hoping to finally be given a bigger part in a more well-known
: one. There’s really no reason Gandalf couldn’t be played by a woman, or
: barring that, a series could create a bigger role for another female
: character, whether drawn from Tolkien’s legendarium or created from whole
: cloth.
: In general, the genderbending of typically male roles is certainly a concept
: we could start embracing more. It’s worked for Shakespearean adaptations
: time and time again, so why not our favorite SFF stories?

: Amazon Prime Video要出魔戒電視劇了。
: 然後曾參演魔戒的女演員Robyn Malcolm拋出這個想法:為什麼不能有女性的甘道夫。
: 下面我只譯一下她的說法....
: “Those old legends, those old mythical stories, they’re so based within a
: patriarchal landscape,” Malcolm said. “Why not look at the magic of a
: matrilineal world, where the magical powerhouses are women?”
: 那些古老的傳說,那些古代的神秘故事,都是基於父權視野而創作的。為什麼不看看女
性
: 的魔法世界?在這之中的魔法強者就是女性。
: “We’ve got uteruses, and back in the day, there was a real sort of magic
: and sacredness and sort of brutality around that,” Malcolm added. “We’ve
: had female Hamlets. Why not?”
: 我們有子宮,這在過往的日子中就是圍繞在四周中真實存在的某種魔法、神聖和某種殘

: 。我們己有了女性哈姆雷特,為什麼不呢?
: Malcolm went on to list her picks for the role, saying that the chosen
: actress would need to have “gravitas and a real lot of personal power” to
: pull it off. Among her suggestions were Rena Owen, Rachel House, Dame Judi,
: Eileen Atkins, and Maggie Smith.
: 這是她點名那些女演員適合演甘道夫。就不譯了....
: 所以......風聲出來了,會改嗎?
夠87,什麼父權視野
魔戒中土最強的明明是凱蘭崔爾
要不要凱蘭崔爾改成男的算了
整個魔戒都來性轉啊
