Great story and like the tie-in with your previous LOTR story “it would take like twelve minutes to fly there on eagles.” 😁
Also, I am afraid you are likely a prophet on the fear that Amazon will ‘woke’ the story line. We’ll see two episodes dedicated to the Council of Valar discussion on the proper use of pronouns. There will be much color and gender spectrum diversity among elves while the white-privileged rich dwarves will be the real evil in the land. Sauron aka ‘Steve’ will be portrayed as misunderstood and confused but when s/he casts a spell on itself to go spectrum, Mordor actually becomes Portland and fills with rainbows and all there are told they are happy…or else. And by the way, ‘Steve’ if you believe in open borders, how come your whole land is walled off behind mountains, a 100 foot tall iron gate and you have like 100,000 guards to keep people out? Hmmmmmmm?
I don’t care if anyone wants to write original stories like that. If you find an audience for it, good for you. Just stop ruining cherished stories from my childhood by ‘reimagining’ them to fit a political narrative you want to push. It’s because of doing exactly that, that I have written off Marvel films and TV.

Typo: “Why don’t you butt out of at?” growled a dwarf.
Heh ... nicely done. Amazon's got its storyline all set: GIRRRRL Power! (With an assist from the Furries) Man a sure winner
Shades of "Bored of the Rings"!
