Ultimately it doesn't matter whether studio greed was involved whatsoever, studio greed didn't write the movies -- a person wrote the movies. That person was buried under the system he was in, intentionally or not, this is portrayed in the films.

I think this is some barthes author is dead business. I don't think he actually thought a big studio funded three expensive movies as a prank to take the piss out of lotr, but that it's how he's reading it separate from intent?

That is the most charitable interpretation of what he is saying, but that's wildly stupid & doesn't make them good movies. The Hobbit films still suck & the LOTR films are still really good.
