>>7949223You worded it wrong:
>Christopher Tolkien dies>He's spent his entire life protecting his father's legacy and life work>Constantly fought against corporations trying to take LOTR and make it another mass marketed, soulless cash grab for manchildren>Never compromised on his ideals and beliefs>He dies, aged 95>Corporations and consumers begin gathering, like a predator seeing weakness in their quarry>None of hem care that a man has died; they are only excited to make money off the now vulnerable Middle Earth franchise, or to consume the inevitable horde of products that will soon flood the marketI love Middle Earth and have always been a bit saddened by the lack of good merchandise for it, but getting excited over a man's death and the beginning of the end of a long standing, quality franchise is disgusting.
