The purists bug me too - I went off about that on my blog and LJ - but honestly, Tolkien wanted to establish a Germanic-style mythos to replace the lost Anglo-Saxon ones, and part of any mythos is that stories get retold and organically changed in the retelling. That people are making versions and doing it as they think is true to the message but still relevant to them is a sign of success, not disrespect to JRR.

THIS thankyou. People who talk about respecting old material or myths are forgetting the context in which those stories were made and told. Ideas about "purity" or "originality" are thoroughly modern.

And Tolkien wrote in the twentieth century. He may have expressed the wish to write a myth-like type of work, but the fact is he didn't, and he was also super touchy about adaptations (as his letters on a proposed script for a LotR film amply prove).

As I recall, he also said that they could do what they want after he died. He just didn't want to see it.
