Yeah, id hate it. But for the right reasons dammit! I’m the guy who told stuffy academics the reason Legolas can see so far despite the curvature of the esrth is probably for the same reason elves caniterally.sail a ship beyond the curvature of the earth. Cause it was made curved in the sinking of numenor so.that only elves could sail.the straight path to Valinor and men couldn’t try to attack and dethrone god again. If they can sail a boat ignoring the curvature of the earth im.pretty sure seeing beyond the horizon isnt out of play. The other was thar Saruman reverse engineered Gandalf’s fireworks to create the explosives used at the battle of helmet deep. He had inside guys in the Shire and a large thematic thing is bad guys cant create and can only corrupt the creation of others, part of being evil is kinda the choice to do so and that is often literal. Tiny details but they are my scholarly contributions that were incredibly low hanging fruit that got missed.

My top fantasy projects if Hollywood would just give my half baked ideas a chance are a lord of the rings tv series and a 12 hour total run time Superman trilogy that spans the entire 20th century. Thr rest of my dead movie ambitions are making a series of Coen bros inspired comedies about various CIA operations
