Imho a little over-exaggerated. Tolkien himself was not free from "gatekeeper"ism. His critique of Disney's Snow White was far from pure acceptance of modern retelling of ancient tales.Total orcishness.

Criticism is differentImho a little over-exaggerated. Tolkien himself was not free from "gatekeeper"ism. His critique of Disney's Snow White was far from pure acceptance of modern retelling of ancient tales.
Criticism is different
That’s absolutely fine. That is opinion. Not gatekeepingDo not know if expressing: "to veto anything from or influenced by the Disney studios (for all whose works I have a heartfelt loathing).”
counts as mere criticism.
Some of Tolkien's fans do feel exactly the same way towards any big corporation taking on his work - and they do seem to feel a kinship to Tolkien's "heartfelt loathing" indeed.

Not so sure. Tolkien has reportedly publicly rejected the change of the ;iturgical language of the Mass from Latin to the local languages - a change during his lifetime - and kept delivering the fixed answers in Latin loudly disturbing even the Divine Service that was now in English. He was not keeping his opinions private in matters he considered sacred to him.Tolkien disliked Dune when he read it. He chose to keep that opinion private, as he saw no benefit to publicly asserting that it wasn't to his taste. He didn't publish a review saying that no true fan of science fiction would enjoy this abomination. His discretion was not limited to this one example.
Tolkien did not stop attending mass when it switched from Latin to the Novus Ordo (not just a translation into English, but a separate rite). He did not join the SSPX or declare the pope a heretic over this change. He didn't like it. He didn't suggest that those who did like it were bad Catholics!
Hi kanji_d,I've not been around the ROP discussion a lot but I've been watching the trailers out on Instagram and
Can someone point me to which one of the many trailers that contains the slaying of the trees and Melkors shadow. That is the only thing that i feel genuinely interested in seeing.
I have a feeling we’ll see that depiction later in the season during a recounting/flashback. Would seem unlikely they would create an impressive scene like that but not show it.Can someone point me to which one of the many trailers that contains the slaying of the trees and Melkors shadow.

It's in the prologue of episode 1, it's just pretty vague. No Morgoth, no Ungoliant, just the trees turning black and dying. Probably due to rights issues (they've mentioned Morgoth multiple times, but have yet to show him.) so I highly doubt we will ever get the actual context.I have a feeling we’ll see that depiction later in the season during a recounting/flashback.
