I yield, I yield, it isn't weak.
In a literary sense, wouldn't a barely-started story be "weaker" than a completed, extremely popular work?
The recurring theme in Tolkien's mythos is that of evil rising again, after it is thought to be conquered. After Morgoth's defeat, Sauron arose in Middle-earth. After Sauron's defeat, he arose again. Now, after Sauron's ultimate defeat, evil rises again. Anyone see a pattern?
