After years of Gimli being the most well-known Dwarf in Middle-earth for the wrong reasons, one of the best aspects of Rings of Power was its representation of Dwarven culture, but The Hobbit fixed a Lord of the Rings Gimli mistake before the Prime series premiered. Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movies offered the first fresh example of Dwarves after his Lord of the Rings trilogy focused on Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) representing everything about them to add comic relief. While Elves, Hobbits, and Men were plentiful in the films, Dwarves were not, and Gimli often had to act as an emissary for their entire culture while cracking jokes.
