He was trying to tell us, and we didn't listen.

"Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time,” he pondered. “The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away."

How many franchises can these words be applied to now? All of them, that's how many.

The MCU has become a monster, devoured by its own popularity.

The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of what Star Wars used to be and what it has become has overwhelmed me.

The commercialization of Star Trek has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing.

Not to mention the utter destruction of Tolkien himself we are seeing with Amazon's ROP.

We all turned on Christopher when he said these words, and now all we can do is beg his forgiveness as his words have proven chillingly prophetic. As all of the heart, the soul, the beauty, and the timelessness of every single franchise has been stripped away by soulless corporations.
