Yeah, Denethor definitely got shafted in the movies.

IIRC, dwarves in the books were more prone to go greed-crazy over treasure than any of the other races of Middle-Earth, and at least a part of that was attributed to the influence of the Seven Rings. I don't recall it ever being referred to as a 'sickness' per se, though.

greed is a trait of dwarves going all the way back to the First Age, to their coveting the Nauglamir after making it for the elves. It isn't supernatural, it's a character flaw that dwarves have had all along - and it's fine. It's a lovely flaw. A natural dispensation to see all jeweled creations as being rightfully theirs? Such that it drives them to do stupid things like go on a quest to reclaim their treasure from a dragon? If Jackson tossed that aside for a ham-fisted suggestion of a sickness or warping or influence, he's even worse than I already thought him.

That... kind of is a sickness, though? An innate vulnerability? Like, most people don't have this reaction to dwarves, but dwarves do have this reaction to gold. What is that if not a sickness?
