Yes. Give me wizards and warlocks and shit. Give me gargoyles and swords and maces.

**** you and your hobbits. Never am i more bored than when those genetic losers are on screen.

Gandalf kicking ass in some nether-realm would be a hell of a lot of fun. But you'd still have First Age stuff that would probably annoy you.

Hey, maybe they could right the wrongs of the original trilogy and actually involve Tom Bombadil.

It really did take me awhile to figure out that Gandalf and Saruman and even Sauron where all the same 'order' of mythical creature. Even Radagast. Sauron is just a monumental asshole.

But once you figure that out, the 'victory' makes a little more sense. Sauron really shouldn't have been orders of magnitude more powerful than Gandalf - in fact he most likely wasn't. He was just proactive and had Gandalf on his heels from the jump. That doesn't mean he couldn't recapture the initiative, but it took a couple of good breaks along the way.

Sauron was of the same 'order' as Gandalf and gang. Big difference between him and them was he wasn't constrained like they were. They came over as advisors but were cloaked as old men in mortal bodies. That's why Gandalf died (and was brought back) as well as Saruman (in the Shire).

That was a limitation on them that Sauron did not have to deal with.
