(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.

yeah fair, based
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.
I mean are they chill though?
Historically speaking Tolkien's elves aren't exactly known for being chill. Ha
pretty sure Feanor was an Elf, and that dude had exactly the least amount of chill
"Sure, root beer drinking humie, you can wed my daughter, if you bring me a jewel. It's somewhere in Minas Corva, good luck, there are five lights, seeyoudeadbye..."
Sure they are. They're just a wee bit racist. "If your fitlhy dwarve wants to pass through our woods, he must be blindfolded and our lord and lady will get to decide if he leaves the woods alive or not."
Elves be crazy. Half the time they're in a giant strop about something or other usually beyond human comprehension because it's so petty.
Personal cloaking device
Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.
And that:
Also the TR-116
-
“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.
Replicator pipe weed just isn't dank enough 😔
The budget vulcans and the hot variant killed me
You also have jar jar binks
its amazing that such few words can cause so much pain
i hate this… well done
If we have jarjar, that means we also have space wizards.
You're going to need them against the Cylons
And the Borg Queen Amidala
I am deeply offended and highly amused
No mention of salted pork or second breakfast. Obviously propoganda from a Big Trek shill
Many times it's been argued that Aragorn and his ghost army would sweep over the Federation, but Janeway was able to protect her ship from ghosts and the Federation figured out how to kill them and turn them into super fuel.
I don't think even a Balrog of Morgoth could stand a chance against federation stience.
