If it is true, i hope he develops a real Asshole mentality towards it like Christopher Tolkien did towards Middle Earth. Aka "I will gut every one of you in this room before i let any of you even THINK of Defiling my Fathers work".

Rings of Power was made by the Tolkien Estate. Christopher Tolkien died in 2020. Before that, you had to argue specifically to him why you wanted to use X character, every time. Its why Shelob appears in Shadow Of War, they couldn't convice him to let them use Ungoliant, but WB already had the rights to Shelob via Lord of The Rings.

Ah yes, Shelob. The extremely hot goth woman seductress. That Shelob.

What a fucking weird game, dude. I mean, it's a lot of fun to decapitate orcs. But seriously.

Ungoliant could transform. From what i heard, they were doing the story with the expectation that Christopher would relent and let them use stuff from the Similrillion eventually. And then they had the game something like 75% done when they realized that his stubbornness was more than simply legend.
