“Now we’re getting to the part that I don’t understand so well. Tolkien’s world existed, exactly as he wrote it. But then Peter Jackson came along and he was, I don’t know . . . powerful enough to affect Middle Earth. He changed things . . . swapped Arwen for Glorfindel, put Haldir at Helm’s Deep, sent Éomer into exile instead of into prison. Somehow he meddled in what should have happened and made the boundaries between our universe and theirs become thin.”

I’m never going to understand how it helps Morgoth. I know that Hugo says it will help him break free of the prison that the Valar put him into, but it still doesn’t make any bloody sense to me.
