Exec 1: "What did people like about Lord of the Rings? Can we capitalize on it?"

Exec 2: "Well, people seemed to really like meming this Gollum character, so that was probably the big draw and the reason everyone liked the films"

Exec 1: "PERFECT! We'll make a product entirely around this one character. Everyone is sure to buy it!"
