Be careful what you wish for...

Your wish is granted, but Turin is still cursed and ends up killing Cirdan, who never gets to give his ring to Gandalf, and so Gandalf is weaker in the Third Age, and can't make fire to escape from the wolves in The Hobbit, and so Bilbo is eaten with the ring, which makes the wolf invisible and causes the destruction of the West, due to the ring not being destroyed.

I wish that the Blue Wizards had stayed in the West of Middle-Earth.

Granted. But then they cause so much trouble (mainly because they themselves keep arguing and ending up with duels that destroy the house where they live). During the Council of Elrond, they get stuck in an argument and destroy the long table, much to Elrond's annoyance. "My children have never caused such trouble, not the twins, nor Arwen, nor my adopted Estel!" Nice work, you.

I wish Feanor made four Silmarils.

Granted.

But unfortunately, the Silmarils were fought over more. This meant that seven eights of the population of Beleriand were wiped out, including Galadriel and Celeborn. Which means, that the Fellowship were captured after they left Moria because there wasn't a Lothlorien to go into, Sauron gets the Ring, and the entire obliteration of Arda. Good going.

I wish that Frodo died in Shelob's Lair.

Your wish is granted.

Frodo dies in Shelob's Lair, but not before imparting to Shelob his dying wish - for her to take up his mantel and bring the Ring to the Cracks of Doom. After hearing this unusually altruistic request, Shelob decides to give it a go and fulfils Frodo's quest. Unfortunately, the Eagles had a very hard time carrying her out of Mordor - they dropped her several times - and everybody threw rocks at her when she came to Gondor. Infuriated, our heroine scuttled back to her lair, from which she launched her reign of terror that destroyed most of the west of Middle Earth.

I wish that Treebeard had joined the fellowship in Rivendell.

[Lindale]

Granted.

But Treebeard moved so slow, the Fellowship barely made it pass Caradhras. They all froze there, including Legolas with his nimble feet. Good work, you. Because the Ring also got stuck in the snows of Caradhras, and during that Age of the world it was never found again. (The world by the way also got stuck in the Third Age, because the Elven-Rings stayed on. Until global warming happened so many eons later.)

I wish Gollum didn't eat raw food.

Granted. Gollum discovered fire and began to evolve and started to eat Foie Gras.

I wish Wormtongue had a better pair of eyes so he can throw the Palantir of Orthanc better.

OK he has good eyes... but he becomes obsessed with the Ring, becomes the new Dark Lord, and forcibly marries Eowyn. Now I wish Firiel had stepped out of the mud and sailed to Aman.
