If I were given this project, a major change I would make, would be the portrayal of Gondor. Gondor is supposed to be a symbol of everything that's good about humanity, yet it's history is full of imperialism. Now today, imperialism is not looked upon fondly. After all, if someone came to your doorstep and said "We own this place now and we're telling you what to do.", you wouldn't like that. I'd also portray Gondor's decline not as a result of liberal policies, but as the price they paid for their history. By the end of it all, Elessar promises that he will not repeat the mistakes of Isildur, or of any of Gondor's Kings. Rather instead, he will take Gondor and Arnor down a different path that will lead to greater days of glory then before.
