the cinematic world that Peter Jackson created has immense value but we’ve shifted lenses since then.
Peter Jackson's lens:
We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. In a way, we were trying to make these films for him (Tolkien), not for ourselves.
I don't expect a narcissist to understand that viewpoint, though...
I'm not sure they do understand why people would value the original author's intentions.
Bear in mind that even their "morals" are built on shifting sand. I'm not sure they see any value at all to that kind of long-term consistency, preferring to bundle it all up under thought-terminating clichés rather than actually analysing it.
