In my mind this is no different than the 90s when we got a BUNCH of “extended universe” Star wars stuff, some of which went in some unusual directions.
My friends and I didn’t care because it was MORE STAR WARS!
This is MORE MIDDLE EARTH! And it’s AWESOME because of it in my mind.
I can’t wrap my brain around how picky and critical so many people are these days.
Like, does anyone remember when it was nigh impossible to get stuff to watch in genres you liked? That was way worse in my mind than “the lightsabers look weird”.
I am. I absolutely love it.

Yeah but keep in mind George Lucas was endorsing a lot of that. He was approving of it. That’s not true for Tolkien.
