of all the memes about that dumpster fire, this is among the best ones. :D
This is why I love the internet. A woke mega corporation can purchase the rights to a pre-existing franchise and shit all over it... but we can still have fun with it by making fun of it! There is no escape from the internet, it marks us all.
 
To be fair, there are two Peter Jackson, OG Peter Jackson and drunk own own success Peter Jackson. The Hobbit trilogy crossed the line on this chart. Not as much as Amazon, but it may have got the ball rolling in the wrong direction because it taught Hollywood people the wrong lesson: You can twist the original canon of a classic and make money.

Oooooor you could do what I do and just enjoy it for the parts that were in the book and the acting, ignoring the stuff they got wrong for the sake of money because they're not likely to remake this any time soon... I know they got some serious canon details wrong, but I just love the scene where Dain rides up on his giant boar, tells everyone to sod off, and calls the Elf King a pansy.

The two things I dislike the most about the Hobbit are:
  1. It's too long. LOTR needed to be long because of the three books it was adapted from. As such, with LOTR we got lots of quality content. The Hobbit novel just isn't long to justify 3 entire films. It's too spread out and overloaded with filler... almost as if it was stretched, like butter scarped over too much bread. ;)
  2. The goofy scenes. The sequence with the Goblin king underground, the barrel river run, Legolas running across stones that are already free falling, etc.
The Smaug scenes, voice and CGI were pretty cool though.
