Tolkien wanted his stuff to become public domain after he died but Chris failed to fulfill that wish because he spent his entire life sitting on the rights instead, only to die without any stipulations about it passing into public domain, so it went to his retarded ogre son who resented the entire legendarium because he spent his entire life living in the shadow (and fortune) of his predecessors

bonus points: Simon Tolkien's own son converted to Judaism for his wife and got a vasectomy before having any kids, so the bloodline dies here
