There is a series being made about The Silmarillion(basically a histography of Middle earth published by Tolkien's son after Tolkien's death) so I decided to look into this and some other things, I have read the hobbit but that was a while ago and I have not read the lord of the rings or The Silmarillion so I looked at the wiki for most of this. First of all the series does not look like it would make good material for a series, it is more of a series of creation myths. But looking into the world itself while I respect Tolkien what bothers me about the world he made is how empty the world is, it would never happen like that it implies that all the peoples of middle earth completely lack the agency to spread. We humans spread to every corner of the earth apart from Antarctica and maybe some other places, yet Humans would not even settle in east of Bree at all even when they had used to live there thousands of years ago, there is perfectly fine land sitting there with nobody living there until Aragorn rebuilds some of the cities there, thousands of years after they left it. Speaking of that, the rangers of the Dunedain seem absurd too, the idea that your nations was destroyed and instead of rebuilding it(when as I said, the land where it was is completely unclaimed) you travel around the wilderness being rangers for thousands of years, not even nomads so I don't know how they breed or if they do.
