Yeah, I see that as well. With Amazon ramping up toward the 2nd season, the usual PJ is Tolkien reborn' fanatics and the grumpy gatekeepers thinking they have something they need to protect are starting in again. I myself tend to enjoy humouring them, and I will enjoy what average show Amazon presents. Amazon is already all-in for five seasons. It may get better; it may get worse; or it may hover around the average bar. I dont think the WB/Embracer projects will matter much.
Tolkien's works stand tall and solid despite the onslaught of interpretations by Bakshi, Peter Jackson, Amazon, and especially all the youtuber and social media commentary.
