Right. That still doesn't mean he wouldn't have because he sold rights to his other works. Those rights also included "limited matching rights" if his other work was ever brought to screen. He was fine with his story being drastically changed because the rights didn't require X rules for adaptations. The only one making stuff up here is yourself because you are trying to definitively state what Tolkien would do. I have repeatedly say there is nothing to indicate either way what he would do. While you, and others, keep trying to state that he wouldn't have done something. Do you understand the difference?
He didn't intend the entire story to be a whole because he didn't have the entire story finished. Again he wanted to re-write the hobbit to better fit the world of Lord of the Rings. He was constantly changing his world where he wanted to make the world no longer flat. So he was fine with the story being piecemeal because that is how he wrote and how he considered his own work. He wrote things in pieces and went back and fixed or changed things as needed for those new pieces to fit.
Also lol at you interjecting "it's not canon" into this discussion as well. You really can't seem to digest that part so it is always being regurgitated. I'm also pretty sure Amazon knew the risks they were taking and I'm pretty sure Christopher Tolkien new more about protecting his fathers legacy then some random upset fan on a forum.

The show will have 5 seasons. It has is currently successful and popular so calling it "pity" just because you don't' like the show is silly.

Doesn't that also mean that we can assume Elves had barbers and might sometimes cut their hair shorter? That wasn't the zinger you imagined it to be lol.
