And force them to forego dazzling visuals in favour of interesting characterisations and compelling scripts? Shocking!

TH could be especially susceptible to over the top visual
effects (the trolls, Beorn, giant spiders, Smaug), if PJ

(see Smaugh shoot flames at you, fly along with
a giant eagle, etc.).
