I wish that Fingolfin killed Morgoth.
Your wish is granted. However, Morgoth fell on top of Fingolfin and killed him. What's more, Sauron was the only one who saw the fight and so he took on the shape of Morgoth and became the new Dark Lord. He hid the body and took the Silmarills and ruled the armies much better than Morgoth ever did. Beleriand is in dire peril! :eek:

(It's a good thing this is a joke thread, or I'd think you had lost your mind.)

Granted. Unfortunately, the tires pop and Mount Fang crashes into our already burnt-down Rivendel. At least it cleared up the landscape.

Your wish is granted. Sauron's hand, however, choked Isildur to death and the ring was returned to its master.

Granted. Dinosaurs are in Middle Earth. Dinosaurs being, of course, 'terrible lizards' are just that. They are careless and chaotic, always trashing inns and making elves sick with their terrible jokes. These lizards then go on to make a truly terrible stage show that sends all of Middle Earth into a rage.

Your wish is granted. Unfortunately this was because he had mutated avian flu. He got it from the Orcs and the Orcs spread it to Merry and Pippin and on and on and on until it became a global pandemic.

I wish that Turgon had listened to Tuor and evacuated Gondolin

arcticstorm 10-29-2005 09:40 PM

your wish is granted,
Turgon evacuates Gondolin. Gothmog and the other balrog survive until the war of wrath when Gothmog flees to Moria, having two balrogs infest the area. Turgon remains high king of the Noldor and leads the armies of the last alliance. He barely survives and keeps Vilya, Gil-galad is still slain though. Imladris is run by Turgon instead of elrond and though the council of Turgon is a great success, when the fellowship goes through Moria, Gothmog and his other pal, destroy the fellowship and Gothmog takes the ring becoming the new dark lord.

I wish Fingolfin would have defeated Melkor

Your wish is granted. But Sauron became the new Dark Lord and made a Ring of Power in Thangorodrim and Thingol asked Beren for Sauron's Ring instead of a Silmaril. Beren reluctantly agreed and was successful and after a great mental struggle gave the Ring to Thingol. One night Beleg, at Melian's pleading, took the Ring from Thingol and flew on an Eagle to Thangorodrim and refused to destroy the Ring. The Eagle then dropped Beleg into Thangorodrim as they previously agreed upon. Meanwhile Thingol killed Melian in a rage and was killed by one of her servants himself. Also Gothmog became the new Dark Lord and ordered a successful assault upon Doriath. This became the Battle of Unnumbered tears.

Consider it done, Elf-warrior, infact, consider it applied across the board!
Not only does Nienor give in to personal *cough* demons, no one does, and Middle Earth is chalk full of angsty, depressed, and emotional characters, running a muck and wearing large amounts of runny eyeliner. Also, (again) Zoloft is introduced... and then abandoned. We're all far too depressed to take something advertised by a skipping rock-face...head... thing. The Rohirrim appear to turn to bad, Gothic poetry for comfort. Whereas Gondorians everywhere start wearing black...well...more black and become hermits. The peoples of Middle Earth decide that its all just too much for them to bear and gladdly hand over the Ring to Sauron, Frodo and all, so that he might put an end to it all. sniff.

I wish that instead of a "Great Eye", Sauron would have been a giant pair of sparkley disco-britches which shake violently when angered. Grr!

Your wish is granted. They now have the same hands. However, the both share the same pair of hands. They argue over whose turn it is to use them and their war on each other destroys the South of Middle Earth.

Granted! Sauron's butt catches on fire while he scratches it and he is forced to put it out in the Great River. This causes everyone in Middle-Earth to laugh and him, then he goes in the corner and cries.

Your wish is granted. Boromir stays in Gondor and Faramir goes in his stead. Because Boromir's not there, the ring tempts Gimli to try to take it. Galadriel sees his intentions and despises him. Gimli gets depressed because his love hates him and commits suicide. Later, Eomer dies and Pippin is forgotten under the huge troll, because Gimli is not there to look after them. This causes that Éowyn inherits the crown of Rohan and she becomes the first ruling queen in Rohan's history.

Your wish is granted. But Frodo and Sam are spotted from the tower of Cirith Ungol. Frodo puts on the Ring and disappears but Sam is captured. Later Frodo is captured by one of the Nazgul and thus Sauron regains the Ring.

Poof! Truth be had, a fairie just sneezed on your ear and, well, there you are!

Deagol kills Smeagol, keeps the ring, and takes a few years in thearpy to boot. After seven progressive years he has a panic attack and runs away from home thinking that all the other hobbits are shaking their heads at him chanting "Shame, shame."

He gets up enough nerve to look at that nasty, problem causing ring on his journey to nowhere and becomes instantly enthralled with it. The ring directs him Southeast, toward Mordor, but Deagol gets lost and ends up mucking about in Rivendell where he is thrown into prison for being nothing but a royal pain.

Congratulations! The Ring never gets to Mordor, but all of Imaldris is calling for you blood.

Your wish is granted. The Rohirrim quickly learn how to dodge them but they also learn that their blood is extremely poisonous. Aragorn discovers by accident that really yucky vegetable soup is a good antidote to the poison. Because Eowyn was appointed Chief Frog Poison Doctor she got to ride to war with the Rohirrim with Theoden's express approval. Grimbold was left to govern the remnant of the Rohirrim and thus got to live to old age.

Consider it done.

Legolas remains in Moria and opens the first Elven Hair Salon for Misunderstood Orcs. With his guidance, the ugly orcs of Moria become beautiful, and everyone realizes that they're not really evil: they just have low self esteem. Cured of this, the orcs become model citizens and eventually open a humane animal shelter for abandoned and injured wargs.

Granted! Gandalf becomes Middle-Earth's practical joker. After turning the orcs into toads and filling their gardens with grass snakes he goes on to steal all Farmer Maggot's mushrooms and replaces them with the orcs who are now spotted toads. Then he spray paints "Saruman Smells!" all over Isengard and after he gives Denethor an atomic wedgie his friends confront him about his problem. Gandalf then goes into rehab to stop his jokes.

Your wish is granted, but since the actor who plays Fatty Bolger asked for so much money, Jackson couldn't go over budget and had to cut Gandalf, Aragorn, and Faramir from the cast.

Fredegar Bolger corners the camera man during Bilbo's party and tells a whole list of scandlous elf jokes. When Fro-jiah comes to protest Bolger calls him a scene-stealing git and punches him in the mouth. Frodo loses his front teeth during the brawl.
And now, instead of the awkward "Galadriel's mirror" scene where Legolas is first in the reflection the movie audience is welcomed by a sight of Fatty Bolger picking his nose and twitching, as it might be an after shock from having tea with that Nazgul. With a gasp of alarm, Frodo loses his balance along with a few more teeth.
Upon discovering him, Frodo kills Gollum in a jealous dental-induced rage, and never finds a way into Mordor.

your wish is granted, however it is a little known fact that Morgoth and Sauron were actually the best singers of all the ainur, so they were able to pass on the skill by giving voice lessons to all the orcs, balrogs, dragons, wearwolves, etc. in their armies and took over middle earth and valinor with their incredible voices.

Your wish is granted. The Barrow-Downs from the book with all the dead green guys gets replaced by our Barrow-Downs that contain more green guys and girls. But they're more chatty than the old Wights and they drove Frodo into insanity and was never rescued by Tom and the Ring was eventually found by the Ring-Wraiths.

Granted. However, to balance this out, Saruman goes to Helm's Deep. Saruman knocks the old man's arrow away from his uruk-hai with staff, like what Gandalf did to Legolas' arrow, and the arrow flies into Arwen's head, killing her. Aragorn is distrought and, unable to lead his forces correctly, Helm's Deep is lost.

Wouldn't you know it? Yet another fairie is having a rather rough day with her little sinuses and sneezes up another wish....on your shoulder. Yucky...

Legolas is a gentle..elf and gives Gimli a box to stand on before the battle of Helms Deep BUT during the intense battle a ladder knocks Gimli off of the box and he suffers from some might Middle Earth back pain. Not only that, but now the invaiding orcs have a cute, bulky-bearded step way down off the wall.

Later in the onslaught, the box provided goes flying with explosions (provided) and lands on Snowmane's head and renders the poor Merah unconcious. Snowmane sues Theoden for unsafe working conditions and, with a short but sweet background in how government runs, runs off to Rome (..and Roman times, I guess...)to become Caligua's horse*.

*History!: Caligua nearly made his horse a Senator of Rome. (Thankies for the pointer Kitanna!)

Your wish is fulfilled. But Sauron suppressed those unions with brutal efficiency using the Olga-Hai and Uruks to massacre them. Grishnakh was a veteran of these wars and was made Captain of his elite interrogation squad. This was how he knew about the Ring.

Woosh! And with a flick of the wand tis so. I'm sure you'll be happy. Gimli sees the political vacuum in Gondor with the death of Denethor and assumes the people wanted a Democracy! And the People shouted whilst throwing him out of town "Just because some forest bint gave you three strands of her hair is no way to decide a form of Government! Supreme Authority lies in the masses!"

(sorry couldn't resist the Pythonism)
