Yeah, it's weird how threatening it is for the idea to even present an idea that's interesting if it wasn't in canon. It always has to be some lesser thing, even when objectively it's not. It's like the whole question of Aragorn not wanting to claim the throne--it's fine if you prefer Aragorn strutting around with his broken phallic symbol to the guy in the movie, but to suggest there's something less noble about a guy saying, "But why should I be king?" is a little strange.
