Yeah but would it be a hit? Would Boromir's allegiance to Gondor and the tragedy of his conundrum resonate with people who have no concepts of duty beyond one's family? Would the idea of alien creatures that look human but are more beautiful and mysterious be intriguing or fascinating to them? Would they understand what an army is? Or a war? Could they grasp the magnitude of a battle that involved tens of thousands?

the quaint milieu reminiscent of pre-industrial britain and the way tolkien works with that might take some time for them but the histories of the andromeda wars (both of which featured massive armies and weapons platforms modern humans would consider magical) would still be fresh in their mindsd. besides the underground people would make their own reboots inevitably. so circa 3,102,000 bc op i think it would be just as likely to be well received as a work of fiction as it was (is) today
