>series being made about The Silmarillion
More ignominious butchering by the Orcs of Jewllywood. May the soon meet their Narsil.
>how empty the world is
meh, Tolkien liked nature and, like Poe, saw his experience of it spoiled by the encroachment of man and machine. Tolkien did nothing wrong
>Humans would not even settle in east of Bree
We have no predators. In the Third Age of the world there were predators and other dangers outside the mostly disconnected, non-integrated, enclaves of decayed and retreating civilization.
>perfectly fine land sitting there
Also orcs, trolls, wargs, cursed living forests, etc. Population was also decreasing, not to mention already relatively small
>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)
Arnor was not "destroyed" as such. If I remember, it divided into conflicting little realms and dwindled in power and population, to the point of disintegration. Also Sauron was hunting for the heirs of Isildur, which gives one motive for them wishing to remain "off the radar"
