A Goodreads user asked Mark Lawrence:

Do you think J.R.R. Tolkien has a net positive or net negative affect on the Fantasy Genre?

Mark Lawrence To me this is in the same vein as "Do you think water has a net positive or net negative affect on the human body?"

Sure, drowning is an issue but without water we're all in trouble!
