Are you speaking of the more superficial faction of fans of Jackson's movies? If so, you are probably right. Jackson could stamp "Lord of the Rings" on a pig sty gate and a certain percentage of the population would come to wallow.

But it doesn't mean the rest of us will muck through it. Even with waders.

No, evil has made its final descent from malevolent deities and is no longer demonic in nature. The 4th Age begins the Age of Man, and Mankind is evil enough without some supernatural instigator prodding us along.
