^Agreed. Insofar as the written works are concerned, there is a massive tonal difference between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Jackson didn't dissolve that tonal difference entirely (which would've been disrespectful to the novel), but neither did he preserve it entirely (which would've created significant tonal "whiplash" between the two film trilogies). Instead, he "split the difference," which IMO is probably the best approach he could've taken.
