Although fanfic would be stretching it, any fanfic put together of during the second age could be 100% more accurate with even a little research.

      @TinySpyro They crunched thousands of years into a few days... From an elvish perspective, that might as well be in the blink of an eye. Honestly, it would be vastly better (with show runners that could actually follow Tolkien's work accurately) to have things happening on the original timeline and done from the perspective of longer lived people. I think they also rushed the plot and raced to get to Sauron, the rings (which they aren't doing in the right order), and Morder rather than a slower multiple season build-up. Ultimately, I personally think that with what they could possibly have done a better job, or at least not getting far less backlash by doing something somewhere where Tolkien didn't flesh out in great detail, such as the far East.

This sketch is like continuation of your live sketch Regional Accents Discrimination, now writers made a movie that has all the accents. 😊
