Is there a single fictional setting with the thematic and philosophical coherence, and beauty of Tolkien's Legendarium?

I was going to say my diary desu but it's actually entirely about the adventures of a single character who's a hybrid of Sonic and Pikachu.
So as it turns out, not my diary desu.

tolkien is overrated and I say that as someone who first read all the books when he was 12 and then read them again when I was like 16.

12 people or even less could solve all the problems of the world, but they don't do it.

Literally the entire mission to destroy the ring depended on secrecy, the eagles would've been spotted from afar and been vulnerable, furthermore the Eagles would've been susceptible to the power of the ring and it very likely would have corrupted them.
Ignoring that, getting caught up on minor apparent plotholes over the rest of the work is the sign of terminal brainletism

I'm gonna get replies saying that reading the books is nothing impressive, and I agree that's not my implication, but you didn't read the books

Maybe your mom read the Hobbit to you at bedtime when you were 12
