As I said its all about interpretation, everyone interprets books and manga differently, so when you adapt a book or manga most of the time they aim for a general interpretation that would appeal to most fans like LOTR. Something that would seem way off to you maybe right on for someone else. When you read a book you visualize it in your head and can hear the characters voices yourself but your visualization maybe totally different than someone elses. One good example is the old LOTR aniamtion movies, look at the night and day difference between Ralph Bachis version and the other versions with the same material, Ralph decided to animate over actors while the other two were total drawn aniamtion, also the hobbit design, also the design of the characters I could go on, but I hope you see my point. I would rather have spirits within than advent children.
