An instance where ArtsJournal.com's link says more than the story it links to. "[W]ill the combination of fan devotion and marketing savvy prove lethal and taint Rings as mere 'adolescent fantasy' forever?" It is hard to sympathize with an author whose estate is making hundreds of millions thanks to the TWXsters; and given that (from what I know of Tolkien's books) they're high-end versions of swords-and-sorcerers games, I'd say yes, they are "adolescent fantasies."
