Also I feel the narrow-mindedness was very much in line with his father's views towards adaptations of it.

Absolutely. It’s a very precise work, with such a wealth of background and worldbuilding that needless deviation is…more significant than it would be if rebooting the Die Hard franchise.

But for Christopher Tolkien, we could very well have seen TSR publish new Middle-Earth fiction in the 90s. Sometimes being over-protective is the right choice.

In 5e, the last couple levels are basically epic, and true epic play is represented by gaining Epic Boons.That's one heck of an epic boon you're handing out especially since a 20th level fighter isn't even epic levels yet.

Alright, for everyone who does not want to troll through Twitter or Facebook to see the posters, this article has all 23 of them. Most are human, with a few elves and dwarves, plus a couple that could be children or a sad attempt to somehow shove Hobbits into the series, when they were not around for the 2nd Age.

Amazon Releases ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV Show Character Photos With One Thing Missing

And but for his father there (bafflingly) would have been a Beatles Lord of the Rings movie, which would certainly have been terrible as an adaptation, but which I also really wish existed.

Because this is set in the 2nd Age, before Numenor was even sunk, and there were no Hobbits in any of the lands that Gondor will eventually control, just like there is no Rohirrim until about the middle of the 3rd Age. They do not belong and would ruin the entertainment factor for anyone who knows Middle-Earth. Having them show up there would be like having Crusaders or Nazis show up when the Great Wall is being built or showing up with the Wise Men to visit the baby Jesus. Plus I do not think the Tolkien Estate would let any company contradict the writings like that.
That has nothing to do with the show. Why would it hurt the show for them to be there? And, no, it would not be like that, but even if it was, it could still be a good show.
Maybe adding them would be great, but saying they can't be there because a fictional history would be different? Not sure how that necessarily makes it a bad show.
