    So much war, they never focus on the non violent parts of Lord of the Rings like singing songs or writing poetry. Where the elven bread bakery sim?

      Because they don’t want to write good characters and a story, they just want flashy action scenes and lots of references and jokes. You know, what Marvel popularized.

        It was a joke I think. Not all of us want to constantly shit on everything, especially if it’s literally just been teased and none of us can say if it’s gonna be good or not

          You’re right, I’m projecting the bad vibes, I shouldn’t do that. Uuuuh may I recommend The Legend of Vox Machina? It’s based on dnd so pretty close to tolkien and it’s a lot more goofy :3

            They really underutilize the LOTR proper recently so it’s good their doing something different with it. It could encourage more animated movies that could have really cool stories we haven’t seen yet

      Reskin Overcooked so you’re a bunch of Hobbits getting food, beer, and pipeweed served to customers at The Green Dragon.

      Then have a later level where you’re Sauron and his minions trying to crank out magical rings of various sorts.
