Stephen Colbert Writing Tolkien is Middle-earth’s Final Insult

Stephen Colbert is co-writing the new 'Lord of the Rings' film, and I am officially declaring the death of the cinematic auteur. We have devolved from Tolkien’s decades of linguistic mastery to a late-night host’s fan-fiction fever dream. This isn't world-building; it’s corporate synergy masquerading as art. If I wanted a political monologue delivered by an Elf, I’d watch CBS at midnight. Middle-earth deserves a visionary, not a man whose primary skill is reading a teleprompter with a smirk.
