The reason it would be hard to add anything to compare with Tolkein is that Tolkein put massive amounts of effort into the world creation, not adding important characters that didn't have at least SOME story arc. The woke BS comes from people who are really about checking boxes and just like the left can't meme, they can't seem to put themselves in any alternative headspace to think about motivations. I've seen something from Tolkein where he talked about how he had to stop himself at certain points because if he was going to add a mountain, he would think about the size, the location, what was beyond that mountain.

In LOTR, every single character was added in for a reason, they had their initial motivations and individual story arcs. Effectively they were fleshed out people that each made a genuine contribution to the overall story.

That takes a level of creativity that I don't expect I could ever fully compete with, what they did with it was the antithesis of Tolkein's work, Tolkein himself didn't even want to see the books made to film, although the 2001-2003 trilogy was cinematically well made and reasonably true to the books. Although, I reread the books semi-recently and followed up with the films for a fresh comparison, and the biggest complaint is that, in spite of being 10 hours of film, the story was rushed and compressed in a way that just felt like it shrunk the world... although I understand that adding an extra several hours to each film to allow for the time camping would likely be boring to many.
