As it turns out, since Amazon's firing of Tom Shippey (quite possibly the worlds most respected Tolkien Scholar), the new "Tolkien Scholar" behind the Rings of Power, Mariana Rios Maldonado, is not a Tolkien scholar at all, but the "Diversity and Equality" Officer at the University of Glasgow, where she is also attending as a student.
In her own words, she explains that she believes Tolkien's work is "problematic," and believes it is a favorite literary work of Neo-Fascist movements. In her arrogance, narcissism, and race obsession, she has deemed herself Tolkien's moral and intellectual superior, and is now working tirelessly to distort the Mythos of Arda into a modern allegory with fleeting relevance at best.
