I could not even watch that last video.
I refuse to even acknowledge that any of the Peter Jackson movies exist (even for the first trilogy).
I am hoping that eventually someone will be able to re-do the whole thing from beginning to end. And in doing so remain faithful to Tolkien's works.
It is one thing to place exposition into the lines of a character, thus essentially remaining true to the elements Tolkien wrote.
But it is an entirely different thing to make up, whole-cloth, elements that are not only no part of Tolkien's creation, but which utterly contradict that which he did create.
It would be another thing entirely if a movie-maker conceived novel elements for the movies, yet those inventions did not contradict established canon.
It is the re-writing of the canon that bothers me.
