(remember, this is all just for fun. no hard feelings towards lotr)
I will dispute the notion that you can disambiguate between old and new Spocks by hotness.
What they have:
Literal magic
Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill
Personal cloaking device
Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.
What we have
(see meme)
I see no downsides.
Historically speaking Tolkien’s elves aren’t exactly known for being chill. Ha
Personal cloaking device
Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.
And that:
-
“Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitive” — Picard, paraphrased
-
Vulcans are functionally immortal (remember)
-
ST also has personal cloaks. And transporters (better than giant eagles that only take you halfway)
-
Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things
You slayed them for sure!
LotR: Hot elves.
Trek: Hot space elves.
Lotr does have that pipe weed though.
