    Well what about the second peacekeeper? I think he doesn’t know about the second peacekeeper.

    If you played the two towers LOTR game you would know that Legolas’ bow is way better than any sniper rifle

      Excuse me, I played the Two Towers LOTR game and I learned that B+A+R was how Aragorn paused time whenever an orc attacked him to insta-kill it.

        Aragorn with Browning Automatic Rifle sounds about right. It was what Tolkien envisioned.

    Pippen couldn’t even handle a dragon firework. If he had access to a nuke he’d have leveled the Shire immediately.

    Chapter 2: Mordor launched automatic retaliatory nukes at the rest of middle earth, all life in middle earth goes extinct.

    Except dwarves, they have good bunkers.

      Yeah but what about the Balrog? They’d have that to contend with.
      And maybe… in fact I’d bet that creatures like Smaug could survive a nuclear blast even relatively nearby and probably even radioactive fallout, and just in case, they’d also know where every single cave in Middle Earth is, could quickly find cover before being exposed too much.

    I like the idea that it’s the first thing that happens in chapter 1. Pippin uses the nuke before having been given any narrative reason to want to use it. Because he’s just that kind of chaotic energy.

      Problem is that Sauron looked dope as fuck, and terminators love looking badass, and so they’d immediately take his side. Number one rule of being a terminator is to always look cool.

    Chapter One

    Pippin commits a preemptive strike against a low grade threat. Thus becoming war criminal; the international community turns against The Shire as the dangerous loose cannons they have shown themselves to be.

    The fact they are nuclear armed leads to years of protracted negotiations; extremely harsh sanctions and the economic ruin of The Shire.

    The remains of Mordor; rise up and become far more important on the international stage. As the injured party they telegraph this into a much louder voice than they should command. They oppose the Elves but have similar goals, the control and subjugation of the humans.
