It goes “core fandom”, prequel, pre-prequel (creation myth), then inevitably sequels if they didn’t arrive before or in between the prequels.
We’re going to get some random actor one day playing Aragorn’s son and it’ll be indistinguishable from a PG-13 version of Game of Thrones by a writing team where two of them skimmed the books and most of them have seen one or more of the movies at some point, and they kind of love the setting but don’t love the lack of grey morals. There will be a tribe of orcs that are totally good guys now. (they will be basically the exact same as the sharks from finding Nemo, because that will be the writing team’s inspiration and they will be very hyped about it)
Hobbit first though, right?
That’s not how a modernist consumes.

Whichever you prefer, but chronologically…yes. That would be the better choice.
