For the Magic the Gathering cards, Lords of Rings made Aragorn straight up black.

And he looks cool. Aragorn's race isn't even important to his character, so no harm in the race swap. It's cool to see character I love re-imagined in a different light.

Anyone who makes a deal of it is weird. You, are weird for making any kind of deal about this.

To be fair, Vecna's culture as an Ur-flan is actually important for his lore, at least his old one. The new 5e stuff is kinda boring in comparison

m8, it's vecna. Everything about Vecna is and was always boring. There's a reason that everything involving Vecna is no where near as beloved & iconic & impactful as a campaign like Curse of Strahd. Zzzzz

Vecna is the sole reason why 2e became 3e. He did that.
