Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

Can't Post

Without making them look human,I was really excited to see all the different variations of beards on the Dwarves and when i found out Armitage was cast was intrigued how they'd make him transform into a fully fledged Dwarf.There was a test concept and i thought it looked great.It could have been more groundbreaking to see Armitage in the Dwarf makeup and he could have been nominated for best supporting actor.Like Monster(Charlize Theron) Hannibell lector or Jim caviezel as Jesus.They completely immersed themsleves in their roles at the expense of their looks and critics widley acclaim them.When people say Hot Dwarves have been accomplished i disagree.If they had made them look like Real Dwarves i'm sure they'd still be good looking.To be honest i think that having thorin looking too human has hurt his oscar nomination chances and critics have bashed the film for that reason before saying that the Dwarves were too human looking.
We are more connected than ever before, more able to spread our ideas and beliefs, our anger and fears. As we exercise the right to advocate our views, and as we animate our supporters, we must all assume responsibility for our words and actions before they enter a vast echo chamber and reach those both serious and delirious, connected and unhinged.

Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

In Brian Sibley's book, the Official Movie Guide, he talks about the size

Absolutely. The talent to pull it off is there, from acting and writing to design, and everything in-between.
