Lord of the Rings has rapidly been transformed into a slop mill, and they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for ANYTHING they can use to sell a product to the masses (or more accurately, the mythical modern audience). I don't know what the hell made them think they could make a feature-length film off of half a page of exposition explaining how a filthy little gremlin (I know Gollum's a Stoor, people, I'm just being bitter and facetious) got from point A to point B to point C. It's a stupid idea, and that's without taking into account the Current Yearisms we know they're going to shoehorn into it.
Perfect example of third generation ruination. The first generation creates, the second generation maintains, and the third generation pisses it all away. It happens over and over basically everywhere in life. JRR created, Christopher carefully maintained, and the next generation burned it all to the ground for a quick buck.

It’s destruction of culture they don’t care if it sells or if it’s liked
