The writers can't fucking help themselves. Holy fuck.
There's no fucking gray area or relativism in Tolkien! It's good versus evil. Post modernist shitlibs can't fucking grasp that. If the protagonists are against something, that something of course must be marginalized and a poor oppressed angel.
The goblins outnumber men! They would wipe every village and town off the face of Middle Earth. There is no 'nuance' here. They don't make treaties. They can't write. They only stop plundering and eating you if you kill enough of them. Hollywood, STOP.
This is why we can't even have alignment systems anymore and I really do believe it's one of the big reasons why game devs got rid of them under the guise of ambiguity. Pretending it's some kind of clever commentary on morality when in reality it's shit writing and they're so infantile they can't write a classic good/evil story because the thought of that triggers them like with that journalist who tried to pretend Batman beating up criminals was a bad thing because he's a billionaire.
