where the fuck did the movies get the idea that dwarves aren’t classy? various dwarves in the books are shown to introduce themselves with a formal ‘at your service’ and a bow, wax poetic about the natural beauty of caves, and spend hours talking about their family history to people who already know it.
and in the movies they’re supposed to be rude and messy? why though? is it because the elves are graceful and they have a rivalry with them? the rivalry between the dwarves and the elves is based on centuries of political tension, not some ‘uncouth vs stuck-up’ kids show feud.
The films are pro-elf propaganda
It should be kinda reversed, tbh. Elves are wild space cadets who like to party and sing at you and most of them have been alive too long to give a shit, like come ON, Peter Jackson
