Personally to me, considering it as a Moron Edition, is just showing the highest snobbery one could display.

In a very realistic way, you would be paring The Lord Of The Rings back to not only be more similar in pacing to The Hobbit, but also quite like the Shannara and Mithgar tales and many many others.

There are plenty out there, that have loved those and not been able to finish or read LOTR.

Are all those persons, morons?

The movies are heavily pared back versions.

Does that mean you are also saying, that the LOTR is no longer a worthwhile story, if you take a lot of the long descriptive stuff out? That the actual important bit of the story, does not have any merit of its own?
