It was only a matter of time before the woke film makers got hold of Tolkien, and turned his work into something that it wasn't meant to be.

This often happens after a writer dies, and their work becomes a free-for-all. Christopher Tolkien, the late son of JRR (died in 2020) who managed the Tolkien legacy, wasn't even a fan of the Peter Jackson films, but it may be different for the grandchildren. They may not much mind if their grandfather's writing legacy is not properly portrayed, in a significant way.

With Agatha Christie's books, for example, the latest British film versions of her books have unfortunately included homo characters and sordid situations which weren't a part of Christie's books. There are examples of other writer's as well.

Seems par the course for any big-name entertainment productions these days, sadly.

Someone in one of the videos I watched on RoP pointed out that Amazon didn't really release ANY information on the series (production started 2017, set to come out SEPTEMBER) until after Chris Tolkien died. I'm sure he's rolling in his grave now. :facepalm:

Just an initial thought….

Strange how we still say rolling in the grave, yet the soul has already departed to one of three destinations.

“John Brown’s body is mouldering in the grave, but his soul doth burn in Hell!”

Woke Tolkien defilers should be rounded up and sent to the pits of Utumno.

When I was a dumb little kid, I seriously thought corpses could roll in their graves
