Notions that dispel a lot of the romantic ideas in Middle-Earth

[the phantom]

I don't think the thought of characters relieving themselves ever occurred to me once while reading any book or watching any movie. As Lush said-

because it's an imaginary world after all

If you try to think about certain details it begins to shatter the magic of ME in a way, it makes it more realistic. But I already live in the real world so I'm not particularly interested in trying to make my fantasy world more real. I live everyday life and I'd rather read about something that isn't everyday life if you get my meaning.

(maybe some of you like to make ME more real, or wouldn't mind if it was more real, but in most cases I prefer the "romantic ideas in ME")
