Lord of the memes

Chapter One

Pippin commits a preemptive strike against a low grade threat. Thus becoming war criminal; the international community turns against The Shire as the dangerous loose cannons they have shown themselves to be.

The fact they are nuclear armed leads to years of protracted negotiations; extremely harsh sanctions and the economic ruin of The Shire.

The remains of Mordor; rise up and become far more important on the international stage. As the injured party they telegraph this into a much louder voice than they should command. They oppose the Elves but have similar goals, the control and subjugation of the humans.

Pippen couldn't even handle a dragon firework. If he had access to a nuke he'd have leveled the Shire immediately.

Chapter 2: Mordor launched automatic retaliatory nukes at the rest of middle earth, all life in middle earth goes extinct.

Except dwarves, they have good bunkers.

How about sending some Terminators back in time to kill Sauron before he gains power?

I like the idea that it's the first thing that happens in chapter 1. Pippin uses the nuke before having been given any narrative reason to want to use it. Because he's just that kind of chaotic energy.

If you played the two towers LOTR game you would know that Legolas' bow is way better than any sniper rifle

It's more like "Pippin accidentally nukes Rivendell."

Could the Ring survive a nuclear blast?

I am guessing yes.

"I don't think he's heard of Nuclear Winter, Pip."

Lord of the Rings but Gondor has the United States military-industrial complex

But what about the poor orcs and their women and children who don't want to fight for Sauron but are forced to do so?
