Yes, it is very wrong. The Discworld series isn't that far from LOTR in spirit. It's just that Pratchett takes the modern secular humanist perspective and LOTR was a deeply Catholic work. Discworld is more meta, ironic, less overtly moral but does teach not so dissimilar lessons, which isn't particularly uncommon. The anti-LOTR has always been Dune, which Tolkien himself was aware of. It's one of the few stories he was uncharacteristically openly negative about.
