:Besides, pop culture waxes and wanes. After all is said and done and the hype fades away, Tolkien fans will still be fans and there will hopefully be new fans. Nothing to become depressed about. Irked yes, depressed no.Exactly, Aelmer. I'm sure they thought the "Frodo Lives" graffiti would last forever, too. Boy, were they wrong! I, too, believe that the hype will die down, just as "Batman" and "Jurassic Park". It will be hard times for many Tolkien purists, as well as many revisionists, I'm sure. But if we grin and bear it, as you said it will pass.
