Granted, however, becuase this appears to be a contradiction in terms, everyone gets confused and decides to hurl themselves off bridges... erm... onto... your house... or something.

I wish The Argonath had been showing a thumbs up rather than an open palm .

Granted. But then the Argonath were structurally unstable in their hands which happened to collapse on the Fellowship's boats, causing them all to drown in the Anduin.

I wish that Denethor would not have gone crazy so Gandalf could have saved Theoden from the Witch-King.

Alakazam! your wish is granted.... sadly, since every good story has an old man that goes crazy, it's Theoden the one who goes cucu and kills Gandalf. Sadly, he does so before Gandalf could give the final stroke to the WK.

Long story short, the Free Peoples of Middle Earth changed their name to Sauron's Minions. Some people think that it has a nicer ring to it anyway.

Your wish is granted. Unfortunately, without him leading part of Rohan's defenses at that time, Saruman's forces gain land easily in Rohan, causing a victory for the forces of the White Hand.


I wish that Saruman had a landmine defense field around Isengard.

Granted, yet while marching his army out to helms deep, they all get blown up. Saruman spends the next five years cleaning up the mess.

I wish Turin had a sense of humour.

And so he had. Unluckily nobody else had any sense of humour and Turin was hanged.


I wish Gandalf was a lead guitarist of a rock band.

Why doesn't anyone want to grant me my wish
