I think his concern is less that we should care about this character's ultimate fate, and more that Tauriel was an unnecessary addition into an established story that lacks a twist ending.

But then again, Azog is still alive at the beginning of the first movie, so it could be anything. It could even be a boat.
(SPOILER)Actually, my concern is that Fili and Kili died protecting Thorin. That their deaths should have been epic defense of their kinsmen, with no tragic "star crossed lovers" implications or anything of the sort. I'm guessing that Kili's death was completely ruined by the presence of Tauriel. Changing the themes, characterization, and impact of his death into something completely unrelated.
