I detest this elitistic disparaging of the "audience-appeasing" and of "consumerism."
To quote Sir Alfred Hitchcock:
Film belongs to the masses. It was the newest art of the 20th century. There's always that feeling that "commercial" or "box office" are dirty words. And it's nothing to do with it. It's to do with telling a story with the widest possible appeal - but still applying all the artistic techniques and manner of storytelling without degrading yourself [..]I think it's axiomatic that if you take into consideration the elements that interest wide audiences, then you can tell your story as imaginatively as you like. As long as you make it clear to them.
That's quite beside the fact that it is beyond me how having Persian Numenoreans affects the themes of the work, especially when the focus of the narrative isn't the Numenoreans at all: it is the Elves.
I'm not being beligerent here, I'm being frank.
