I want to be clear I was not being sarcastic at all, fantasy amidst the ruins is tremendously evocative and I consider this one of LotR's outstanding features
Yeah, no, I get that. I just also think that - like a lot of fantasy tropes - LotR is actually more complex and serious than the imitators it spawned, which often have this 'lost golden age' without LotR's sense that it is lost for a reason and making way for something else.

Esp. if one includes the events of the Silmarillion and you realize that both the elves and numenor, at the great height of their power, used that power mostly to do quite bad things. Gondolin was snazzy, sure, but like - the sons of Feanor sucked pretty bad.

Regret to confess I have not yet been successfully coerced into caring about the Silmarillion
