I spoke on the spurious claim that they cant or shouldnt. So what? The show itself will be the primary thing that drives the narrative. Hardly. Even if that did play out like that, the long time fans are dozens of people. We do not matter. A fraction of that group that yell about it online? Nada. This aint star wars.But it also doesnt have to be any more of a retcon than already exists. The drow were drow before Llolths fall, and not all Drow followed her, and there have always been Drow on the surface who arent evil. That is the current canon, and that is completely doable. Maybe Drizzt wont, but i guarantee that if we get more than one tv show and movie in this era, we will get a drow major character. I will put money on it.Not far from current canon. I wouldnt make Corellon into that much of a villain though. It is very bad optics to present him as one of the good guy deities (which he is regardless of alignment) but also say he persected the darkskinned elfs until they fled. instead, i would mix 4e Heroes of The Feywild lore with 5e lore, makig the Seldarine complex and fey-like, and Llolth lead many elves into acts that lead them to exile, and most were her preciouw drow who she was obsessed with, and the others eventually came to be called drow as well and over time intermingling made them one people with a wide range of blue to purple to black skin tones. Doesnt matter if the outrage machine finds it. When Conan gets adapted there are no major news stories about qhat makes him problematic, people just talk about the movie and whether it holds up to other Conan media. The small crowd yelling never rate a second look. And companies just do not lose out by being progressive. Sometimes they make something more progressivw but it also juat is not that good, but it is never tanked by the loud yelling people. There just arent as majy of them as there are the combo of people who are either happy about it or who don't care.</blockquote>
