When adapting books for film, what if we stopped inventing one or two pointless female characters (or, ugh, "love interests") and started achieving parity by genderbending existing characters instead?
I mean, it& #39;s not like making half of the dwarves women would have been the biggest liberty that Peter Jackson took with The Hobbit...
And who among us didn& #39;t have sloppy-drunk "girls& #39; nights" with the Merry and Pippin of our early 20s friend group? (It starts off with "Come out with us! We haven& #39;t seen you in aaages!", and the next thing you know you& #39;re swearing fealty and service to Gondor...)
Henceforth:
Elves are enbies.
Wizards are trans.
Dragons lust not for gendered categories -- only treasure.
