They want to remake Middle Earth into Game of Thrones.

Cool! Some of those Elven chicks were hot.

the eleven chicks might be seen by you as “hot”, but Elves are monogamous and mate for life, so you'd be out of luck.

And that is the point the author, a Tolkien expert, is making: Tolkien left such things out of his stories, not because he hated lovemaking, but because, like old fashioned movies, such things are better to be implied than shown.

How many modern movies include nude scenes or R rated scenes (or gratuitous violence for that matter) to attract an audience, but in reality these scenes just slow down the plot?

and the author also points out that a Tolkien themed show would be assumed by parents to be child friendly...

and the push back by fans will result in the series being rejected. One reason Peter Jackson's original films followed the book was that he got input from fandom that Tolkien’s story was important.

Get woke, go broke... this is another left wing attempt to destroy culture.
