Oh I don't think it will get terrible, because unlike Star Wars and Star Trek. It is based on a literary masterpeice, and it has taken such a long time for it to get this much attention. Another thing is the average Tolkien fan has a great respect for the books and would not want to exploit them.<BR>(Part of it I was just joking) I would never want to do anything that would damage the integrity of these stories. Even though the books are different than the movies I think they are some of the best book adaptations I have ever seen. They have made the world of Tolkien accessible to the average person.<P>And also there is Tolkien Conventions out there, but they are much different than the other conventions. Like I hate when LOTR is grouped in to things like Comic book conventions, Lord of the Rings was never a comic book, and it will never be a comic book (ok, maybe it already is). It has nothing to do with that. Us fans are people with a great respect for the novel and everything about it. And that is one great thing.
