Yes, Vor, I'm usually somewhat reassured by GdT's comments, always intelligent and subtle (how unlike PJ!)
I find this so amusing. I recall exactly the same comments being made about PJ after the first "20 Questions" and the Fan Trailer. How he really seemed to "get it".
How short our memories are.
Like PJ, Guillermo will make whatever film he wants to make, subject to interference from the suits and other constraints. And in the meantime, he'll make all the right noises, just like PJ did.
And some people will hate whatever he does.
And some people will love whatever he does.
And the rest of us will most likely enjoy most of it and be pissed off by whatever bit annoyed us personally. (Which will naturally be someone else's favourite part.)
The only difference is that now they'll blame PJ for anything they don't like and assume everything good came from GdT.
In fact I'm sure we'll eventually have to explain to n00bs that, no, GdT wasn't responsible for Arwen at the grave.
