Haha forgot about the Hobbit and didn't know about the anime. Comics, well, whatever. But I don't think it can be compared to the constant marketing and big screen content of the other franchises. Tolkien estate is pretty careful not to turn out endless pulp.
Okay I'll give it to you. But there are still significant and painful advertisement campaigns that are beating us over the head with the other 3 franchises
I actually think often about how franchises are (miss)managed and how IP laws suck and should work. Just watched "Dune Prophecy" yesterday, which I avoided so far because it's partially based on Frank Herbert's hack writer of a son's novel (it was ok though). Besides the profit motive, there it seems more like a psychological need to bastardize the franchise. Marvel was never serious so I don't mind it much, it's just annoying. Star Wars sequels suck but again, never was serious literature. I do hate the new Star Trek Kelvin timeline with a burning passion though because Star Trek was a cultural touchstone.
