At least I suppose this means we won't get seven or eight or nine armies, the additions being made up characters of the Jackson gang.

Defending Jackson as a fan of Tolkien also ignores the fact that he is a fan of a variety of movie styles and other directors. The mix of his various fandoms doesn't mesh well.
