So be it. Isildur destroyed the Ring, because Tolkien got fed up with LotR and wanted to get rid of it quickly. That means that LotR was 24,7 pages long and no other books about ME ever came later. Sad, but true...

I wish Boromir was a gangsta rapper with tons of bling blings on his neck. (And a golden handgun.)

Granted. However, due to his incoherent speeches such as: "eh-man, wacha tinkin bout ma main man o you know I'm all over that respect ya'll ma' man." and his vast number of golden accessories that bled Gondor dry and his golden gun that killed people, Boromir was accused of being a witch and was burned at the stake.

I wish Saruman had a hat like Gandalf's only bigger.

Your wish is granted. But Saruman had no cattle, so he sent the Uruk-Hai to steal Gandalf's cattle, only the Uruk-Hai ate it.

I wish that Tom Bombadil had a prominent role in Lord of the Rings.

Granted! Indeed, as the grey company (the Dunedain that go meet with Aragorn in Rohan) are leaving Rivendell and as Elrond is telling them their last words the following happens:

Elrond (solemnly): "And tell Aragorn, son of Arathron that when time presses he must seek... Tom Bombadill!! Dude, what are you doing all the way here? man, come here, give me some sugar... oh dude, I haven't seen you in so long! how's the wife?"

Aragorn is very confused by those words and spends his time pondering them. By the time he realizes that it was just Elrond being happy about Tom visiting him all of a sudden and decides to ride to war, it's too late and Middle Earth is lost.

Your wish is granted. Because Frodo was too tall for sneaking into Mordor, Gimli was made the ringbearer instead. After surviving the various hazards of Mordor with the dubious help of Legolas, he refused to throw the Ring into the fire. Legolas put an arrow into Gimli's heart and threw himself in the Cracks of Doom because of his grief.

I wish Denethor was a Shakespearean actor.

Granted! Too bad it's so hard to break out as a Shakespearean actor in Middle-Earth. The elves have a monopoly on that. Still Denethor managed to get a role in Hamlet as Ophelia.

I wish Melkor had made a sitcom.

Your wish is Richard E Granted.
'Melkor's funny happenings' has one pilot in which he keeps throwing apples at Sauron and making him slip on banana skins while the 'studio audience'* laughs whole heartily. The show is cancelled and Melkor resorts to cameo rolls in Sauron's new sit com 'All my Rings'.

I wish Minas Trith was orange.
