I would put this kind of bullying down to Mordor too, Saruman's scouring of Isengard and The Shire being echoes of the desolation of Sauron and Smaug.

There were plenty of live action Epics around in Tolkien's time. Gone with the Wind in 1939 and The Ten Commandments was released in 1956, the year after Return of the King was published. So there...

I don't think their case should be taken seriously either. I remember seeing the Bashki film and it certainly did not inspire me to buy the book.
