So, anecdote time. This happened to me, oh, 10 minutes ago.
So I walk in on everyone watching "The Rings of Power" during a snack break. It was paused. So I say:
"I don't wanna piss on Tolkien. That'd be suicide. But I'm wondering: Why the fuck is his LOTR story about Sauron? The big bad was Morgoth. THAT story was huge. Their version of angels, demons or gods, by other names, were fighting. THAT was epic. Does he write about that? Nope. Now that the big bad is defeated, OFF SCREEN I might add, let's focus on his underling, on Middle Earth, AFTER the defeat of the bigger bad. Who the fuck does that? He's a genius writer. But come on."
So the kids (in their 20s, ok fine) lift their heads and one of them says: "Why isn't the story about the Emperor? Star Wars is just focusing on the second in command... you know... Vader! BUH BYE."
I hang my head in shame...

Technically The Silmarillion has much written about Morgoth and his rise and fall but if your friends are watching ROP I don't think they care about Tolkien's writing at all.
