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.

I wish that the Ring-Wraiths worked for the good guys.

Granted. But they use the language of Orthank. And help means hinder and saving means slaying. So things go a little wrong.

I wish Gandalf was not so hated by Denethor.

I grant you wish, Gandalf and Denethor are best friends, Gandalf now assists Denethor in killing Faramir.

I wish Jackson would have kept Arwen at Helm's Deep

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.

I wish Legolas got Gimil a box to stand on at Helm's Deep.

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!)

It is my deepest desire that orcs develop worker unions in the years prior to the War of the Ring.

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.

I wish that Sauron was really just an eye.

(Good thing I was wearing my friend's coat) Granted. Eru sees what a wasted creation the eye Sauron is and replaces him with maia named Baal*. Baal* is more effective than Sauron and Morgoth is ruler of Middle-Earth by the time of the War of Wrath.

*False god in the Bible.


I wish orcs spoke only in Spanish.
