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.

- @ricardorivas5955 We do not believe in an individualised and materialistic version of it.
We are all born with guilt from Adam's sin, and some fomes peccati to go with it.
As long as the guilt lasts, as long as we are in the state of grace, we cannot long term avoid mortal sins, from the time we are capable of them, but even so we could avoid some particular mortal sin, committed by a father or remoter ancestor; but if we are in a state of grace, we can avoid mortal sins altogether (Ephesians 2:10).
