Jackson could have made Aragorn blonde. Would you, Essex, argue in that case that we should just accept it and live with it?

Yes I COULD live with Aragorn being blonde. It doesn't really matter. (But I must admit it took a bit of getting used to with Malfoy having blonde hair in the HP films. I always thought of him having black hair, but then going back on the books, I realised it WAS blonde).
But as I said it doesn't matter. Aragorn blonde? Why not! Anyway, as the JRR himself tells us about Aragorn, he had a "....shaggy head of dark hair necked with grey, and in a pale stem face a pair of keen grey eyes."
Was Viggo's hair 'shaggy', necked with grey, and did he have keen grey eyes? Who cares? As long as the character was well written and acted well, that is what counts for. Not his hair colour.
I'm just glad that the main thing people seem to be moaning about re ROTK is Sauron's Eye and lighthouse effect. It goes to show what a marvellous film it is if this is the main thing we can think to argue about!
