I agree, mostly. But the complaint here was that it is foolish to change any of the writing.

The Scouring of the Shire really needed to be in the films, and I think its removal is as serious a misunderstanding of Tolkien's work as almost anything we've seen in ROP. It's just that ROP has, uh... rather a lot more of those misunderstandings.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

...what do you think of Jackson's LotR trilogy? There's a whole lot of change going on there. *NM*

I don't know. I remember seeing message boards when the films came out.

It is possible for a person to dislike this show and not care about sex or race of the characters.

Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons.

I think Peter Jackson & co. actually liked LotR

I just rewatched the last two Hobbit movies - those are sort of inbetween I guess.

Exactly my point. It's not about the canon. The films get the canon wrong left and right, too.

That's not what I meant precisely - for me the canon is still important.

Because this show is about as relevant to the Silmarilion as NAMBLA is to Gay Pride? *NM*
