Thanks, ltnjmy. I believe that too. The article's value...
[In reply to]

to me is in the discussion of the iterations the concept of Dwarves went through in the prof's works. Yes, the title may be unfortunate and some small parts are not a comfortable read, and I am probably not saying this well, but now that I've finished it, I can say with all confidence it does offer an academic/critical view of how the prof words and ideas could be shaped, and changed, by the times.
For what it's worth, I do not think any hint/aspersions of racial stereotyping on the prof's part is more just general ideas and circumstances of the time. Again, I am probably not saying this well but we are all shaped by our circumstances and life experiences. And in all of that, we do form or take on ideas and preconceived notions about ourselves and others. How we act and interact, feel, express ourselves or even voice our opinions are influenced by that. I don't think anyone can be entirely free of it. As a member of a majority race on an island state surrounded by massive countries where the major race is a minority in my country (a quaint reality shaped by the history of the region and the penchant of my forefathers of the era to migrate looking for a better life), I am painfully aware of stereotypes and cultural sensitivities, both directions. Yet, and it may sound counter-intuitive but please bear with me, stereotypes and general (mis)conceptions can at times provide a helpful basis to start a conversation, in a situation where there's nothing else to go on, as in it helps us define an initial boundary within which a conversation may take place. Hopefully, as the dialogue progresses, the boundary will change and move back, rather than tighten or strangle the life out of the interaction. No one can accuse lil' ol me the epitome of knowledge and transcendence, but I feel strongly that education, an open mind, a good healthy dose of self-confidence and awareness, are key to the former outcome.
But going back to the article, looking beyond the objective of analysing the anti-semitism and Dwarves, I believe the article itself has value still as an interesting read, just in the evolution of the concept of ME Dwarves. Some of it makes sense and help me understand Dwarves (which are a condundrum imo). To the author's credit, she does not outright accuse the prof of being one, but instead identify instances of potential issues, and also provides examples of the changes through the years as the prof revised and grew the ME world. It's not biographical for sure, and it does not, to me, aim to be incendiary. So I approach it in good faith and objectivity. I also want to believe that in TA, we are mature (antithetical I know with the THUDDING that happens at the slightest hint of Pretty!) and rationale *snigger* that we can see the information without being caught up in PC and such.
Ok, that's my spiel. Off now to shoot the breeze with less weighty posts/responses.

since I've not even seen the movie but your description of the Jet Li version as weird got me LoL. I think there may have been any number of liberties taken in the adaptation that's upping the weirdness quotient. Typical dang'd Hollywood   There's actually an anime version of The Journey To The West that, while interesting in itself (lots of amped up badassery) and quite successful, would have resulted in riots and boycotts if the Chinese were as puristic as some Tolkienites And if you know the Dragon Ball anime/manga, Goku is in fact named after and inspired by the Monkey God too.

Celeborn's time out and being the middle of a sandwich between Thranduil and Galadriel

Welcome! I'm very glad you appreciate the link I found them to be very interesting as well. I even learned a great deal about Thranduil/Sindar in general by reading her blogs. Unfortunately I haven't found more blogs from her on this subject.
You're right! Although I'm curious to know why exactly that is. I know Oropher/Thranduil had no great love for Galadriel, but what kind of 'intrusions' did he mean? Is that further explained in UT/Silm or do we have to fill in the blanks ourselves? Re Silm... no further explanations beyond what's already in the Quenta I believe. Can't remember the UT at this point. Will let you know if I get to it before you do
Lol now I have that image stuck in my mind

Re Thingol. Nope, nothing said about his parents. Though, if you sort of look at it sideways, with Orome being the main contact between Valinor and the newly awakened Elves, it can sort of be acceptable that Orome is a universal parental figure to the Elves?

... ... you are hard to please I can't find all the first instances of the lexicon or good examples that don't need the trail-follower to delve deep for a good grasp, but well... for what it's worth, here goes (VValar, can you find FEAST? Thought it very recent but can't locate it):
BTS Easter Egg Find (aka BEEF): Those moments in the BTS when Thranduil/LP flashes by (see Unexpected Flash of Elf) on screen or some information is found. See also "Ninja-Hugger"
Bubba: Nickname of Thranduil's beloved War-Elk. See also "Maximum Fabulosity Exposure"
Equal Opportunistic Thrall: One who thralls whom her/his infidelity fancies. Shamelessly multi-allegiance by nature. See also "Thranduil Thralls"
Elvenking, The: That's right, that's how it's supposed to be written
Facemelt: That thing Thranduil does in T&T
Fanart: Popular post subject/title. Beacon for Thralls, as sure as moths dive into flames. (Helpful reference for the threadlard inspired: See the "IMAGES" section of "The TA (very) Quickie Help/TIPS for adding IMAGES and POSTING" sections in this README FOR ALL TA Posters) See also "Pretty!"
FEAST: Shorthand for Flustered Elrond AND Sassy Thranduil. In honour of Thranduil sass/badassery resulting in Elrond raising his eyebrows disapprovingly. May involve dramatic Elrond temple-rubbing. Elrond's fluster can be induced remotely or by proxy and does not require Elrond to be present when Thranduil does his thang. See also "FLAST", "FEASTING"FEASTING: Shorthand for Flustered Elrond AND Sassy Thranduil Including Not-impressed Galadriel. Extension of FEAST, to include Galadriel, also disapprovingly. Elrond's fluster conditions in FEAST apply here for both Elrond and Galadriel
FLAST: Shorthand for Flustered Leggy AND Sassy Thranduil. In honour of the worship for badass (maybe a smidgeon of oblivious in there somewhere) Thranduil and his actions/non-actions resulting in Legolas getting into a flap. Requires Legolas to be present when Thranduil does his thang. See also "FEAST"
GotG: Guardians of the Galaxy. That movie in August 2014 with LP in it
HCF: Halt and Catch Fire. LP's 2014 TV series.
High Thud Risk (aka HTR): Alert for Pretty! hoarding thralls, invoked when 'EI' ain't cutting it. See also "Pretty!"
LA/LAEM: The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, not the city in the StatesLee Pace: Thranduil
Leggy: affectionate diminutive of Legolas
Legolas: Son of Thranduil, aka surfer Elf of LotR
LP: Lee Pace
Maximum Fabulosity Exposure (aka MFE): Thranduil's complete magnificence when riding Bubba the War-Elk. See also "Bubba"
Ninja-Hugger: Specifically LP dispensing hugs. Not that he hugs ninjas, but because he's sneaky like a ninja when he hugs people in the TH Vlogs and appendices and it takes everyone forever to realize it was even him, usually because he's back to camera when he bounces into frame. Will the sneaky hugging never end? We hope not! See also "BTS Easter Egg Find", "Unexpected Flash of Elf"
Oropher: Father of Thranduil
Orry/Oro: affectionate diminutive of Oropher
PD: Pushing Daisies. LP's 2007/2008 TV series Pretty!: Surely self-explanatory? See also "Woodland Weekend", "High Thud Risk"Silent Thread Visitor (aka STV): Self-explanatory, also known as Silent Thread Reader. STVs, Thranduil has a question for you. What say you?
T&T: The Thranduil and Thorin confrontation scene in DOS. Generally ranked top favourite of Thranduil Thralls
TA: Thranduil Appreciation. All-round for the Elvenking and his onscreen avatar (and by extension teh actor. See also LP). Shockingly, there are TA posts with that literary bent associated with thinking individuals frequenting such an exemplary forum as TORn. Some even hint at functional brain-matter in the poster.
That disagreeable (among other things) Dwarf: See "T&T"
Theory of Bling: Overarching term for theories and speculation on the backstories of Thranduil's rings. Popular discussion circa TAIII/TAIV, but still pops up occasionally.
Thranddy: affectionate diminutive of the Elvenking's name (if you don't know who is the Elvenking, google is your mellon)
Thranduil Thralls: The afflicted. Fangirls, and boys, whose allegiance are pledged to the Elvenking. Also known as the hopelessly enthralled to his ELVEN MAGNIFICENCE. Perturbing to some, Thralldom may not be exclusive. Credit goes to Eowyn of Penns Woods for the "official" Thranduil Thrall moniker. See also "Equal Opportunistic Thrall"
Threadlock: The inevitable fate of all TA threads exceeding 200 replies, aka mundane Chore of Mod. See also "Thread tipping"
Thread tipping: Post(s) that sends the current TA thread over the 200 replies threshold (See the "AVOIDING GENERIC POST-DEATH" and "AVOIDING POST-DEATH FROM THREADLOCK" sections in this README FOR ALL TA Posters). See also "Threadlock"
TW: Thrall Wars. An ongoing(?) bit of silliness in the Fan Art board ribbing everything in and about the Thralldoms of Thranduil and that disagreeable (among other things) Dwarf (see "T&T"). Here be the headtrickle of this bright little snarklestream to nowhere
Unexpected Flash of Elf (aka UFE): Those moments in the TH BTS, Vlogs when Thranduil/LP flashes by. See also "BTS Easter Egg Find", "Ninja-Hugger"
Woodland Weekend (aka WW): Occasional mega URL laden post for Pretty! of Thranduil, and LP. May also include goodness for Legolas, *cough*That disagreeable (among other things) Dwarf*cough* and some others. Selective indiscrimination is key. See also "Pretty!", "High Thud Risk"

Are you kidding me? As I kid I absolutely LOVED DBZ! I made my whole family watch it as well. Unfortunately we had a lot of reruns of the episodes so I never really watched the ending of the serie. But the weren't the Saiyans part monkey as well? Now I know where they drew inspiration from. A fellow fan! Yeah, that's the inspiration. In fact, Goku is the Japanese rendition of the Monkey God's name, Wukong.
I never finished the series either, same reason.
hmmm.... you're right. It is weirding me out. I think the problem is, Jet Li's not got the acting chops to carry it off. He's clearly a man with badass kungfu just trying to be a bit animalistic. Yeah, despite the seeming comedy of a monkey acting all human (rise of the planet of the apes anyone?), it does take a real actor to portray a character that's really embodying a non-human who by virtue of achieving or even just reaching deitification, takes on human characteristics.
[OT note on deitification: In Chinese mythology, and by extension the traditional religion of Taoism, this is par for course - ANY thing can gain self awareness, and with awareness can, and often does aim for deitification (yup it's really the hotbed of folklore and mythology), but the path of deitification HAS TO pass through being human, or taking human form before the spirit/soul achieves godhood. This idea of being human as the necessary stepping stone to godhood is influenced by the Buddhist idea of the human condition of being as the most ideal condition to achieving nirvana.]
Anyway, the best, most true and credible version of the Monkey God I have seen was on an old tv series from mainland China. The actor really embodied the Monkey God, no fancy CGI or anything, just appropriate makeup on some (admittedly cheesy prosthetics... if they can even be called that) and his own talent and dedication to incorporating the behaviours from long period of primate observation. But iirc, it was da BOMB! Nobody who saw the show, no matter where, could say they didn't love the Monkey God in that series.
Especially when they're talking bout his magical staff making him unbeatable, I just had very weird associations with that
All right... speaking of staff, some TA relevance

Thrall Wars!: What business do Elves, Dwarves or Men(?) have with drooling thralls, yea, with smartphones in tow, unto the slopes of Erebor? ... oh, yes, the Hobbit's lingering in some shadows, ever ready to swoop to the hairy rescue.
