If he is a fan, he has no clue what he is reading. IMHO any Tolkien fan will lean conservative at a minimum, no way you can read those stories, understand them and have a strong progressive bent.
That being said I will not bother to watch, I just don’t see any good coming from it and have no desire to see only more desecration of Tolkien’s works.
Agreed. Good conquering Evil is a male dominated patriachal relic, we need to inderstand diverse communities and entities we.could learn from and celebrate. (Nazgul Scream)
