I see no reason why they should make any decision to INVENT anything,
action or dialogue. Tolkien gave them plenty to work on, and a whole
lot more!
But they did invent, and that is what was a "wash" for me! The things
they had the poor characters doing, and especially saying, in their
inventions, would have wounded Tolkien to the heart! It only makes it
worse in that when they stuck to what they were given, by Tolkien,
they worked it brilliantly! As I said, IF it's true that "you only
hurt the one you love", then that proves they loved the characters
they mauled!
Who indeed wouldn't have wanted much more of GofF?!
And thanks very much for that welcome to the playground - much
appreciated!
