Why Lord Of The Rings Feels Like Tolkien (Even When It Doesn’t)

Probably least Tolkien:
"you are Isildur's heir not 7:02 Isildur himself"
"the same blood flows 7:05 in my 7:08 veins"
Tolkien did hold that reluctance to take on power was a good qualification, perhaps not for a hereditary king, but in offices of a more elective type ("nolo episcopari"). So, Aragorn's reluctance to be king has some indirect support in Tolkien ... this line in Aragorn's mouth hasn't.
Tolkien was a Catholic, Peter Jackson wasn't.
Catholics don't believe that evil flows in the genes.
