Tolkien obviously can't compete without the inclusion of some super smart female leaders and knights, as well as a few negro elite rogue hobbits. Also, some sex scenes between Sam and Frodo would have really helped flesh out their romance.

If Tolkien was such an autist for detail, how come he never described the Eagles' bowel movements?

old tolk actually created his world from scratch and all the way from creation until the present with plenty of teasers explaining how it would all end too.
some areas on his world were more developed than others, sure, but the man designed his own languages and all but fathered modern day fantasy.
fatass let the cucks at hbo design all of the fictitious languages in his setting, and they aren't even remotely consistent. his world has no beginning or end, and everything outside of westeros is a smattering of racial stereotypes and lovecraft mythos lite.

Tolkien is to creative literary genius what Martin is to hack pulp idiocy. They both so far surpass anyone else in their field that they will be remembered 1,000 years from now as a kind of yin and yang of fantasy, a Manichaen duality of speculative letters. For every sublime, luminous beauty that Tolkien has gifted the world, Martin has cursed us with a tedious, banal ugliness. It is unfair to compare the two directly on any one point, because Martin is in every way the anti-Tolkien, patently sterile, parasitical, and inferior, but so much so that he becomes a monument in his own right, and counterbalances Tolkien. Could one exist without the other? Tolkien obviously could. But it is only by the contrast that Martin offers that we can truly appreciate the full depths and heights of Tolkien. Our understanding of Tolkien would be incomplete if Martin had never set pen to page. It is through only the abject failure and futility of Martin that we can approach an apprehension of the true scope and scale of Tolkien's hitherto inconceivable greatness. Perhaps this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote about the Music of the Ainur. If Tolkien is a subcreator in the image of Eru, truly Martin is like unto Melkor. It is only reflected in the awfulness of the one that we can fully see the goodness of the other.
