5. They didn't even get the LotR plot right

The king of Gondor didn't leave "during the course of the epic trilogy", he left 1000 years before. The Steward appointed to rule in his absence became a hereditary position. There was no-one claiming the throne - apart from, effectively, the Stewards, and this insane lawsuit wanted to create "Stewards". It was a request for the Judicial Branch to perform a coup, since Trump's had failed. Offensively, it tried to attach the name "Usurpers" to Congress and the President.
