Any depiction of Morgoth or the Silmariles on screen would be disappointing Even if you got the team from The Lord of the Rings movies, gave them all the time in the world (unlike The Hobbit), it would still be disappointing, it still would not depict the full Evil of Morgoth or the Holy Beauty of the Gems with any satisfaction. They are divine, any depiction will dispoint, same for the Queen of Doriath (can't remember her name) and Sauron. Only Howard Shore would come close, only music could depict it with any satisfaction. Which might explain why the only real adaptation of the Silmarillon is an Opera.

Let's think about this for a minute: Huan overpowered First Age Sauron 1v1. 1st Age Sauron is more powerful than 3rd Age Sauron, because his power is still undivided: the equivalent of 2nd Age Sauron with the Ring. Yet even in his weakened state, 3rd Age Sauron was easily the most powerful being in Middle-Earth. Not even Gandalf or Galadriel could face him head-on. Also, it's implied that Carcharoth is more powerful than Glaurung himself: "Of all the terrors that came ever into Beleriand ere Angband's fall, the madness of Carcharoth was the most dreadful, for the power of the Silmaril was hidden within him." First Age power levels are pretty insane.

Actual question here: we've established Wargs, Werewolves, and "wolves", which appear to be unlike actual, real life wolves. I ask: are there actual, normal wolves in Tolkien's world, separate from the brutish, terrifying wolves and wargs we see in Middle Earth? In the Fellowship of the Ring film, we see a black dog barking at one of the black riders when it's looking for Baggins. Is that dog domesticated from plain wolves like in real life, or from one of those "wolves" of middle earth? I don't like to think that all wolves in Middle Earth are evil since real wolves are kind, brave, respectable animals, the sort of traits that Tolkien attributes to horses and other animals in the books.

Middle-Earth as depicted is heavily colored by Britain as it existed in the 18-1900s.

Sauron's title of Lord of the Werewolves seems to have originated when he, like them, belonged to the felinetrovert family and was known by the name Tevildo (as noted in Tolkien's earlier drafts). Werewolves may be derived from the wolf type (a sub-creation of Yavanna) among the instinct-driven kelvar. It is possible that Sauron gave these wolves a humanoid form by bodily transformation, and evil spirits may have incarnated into these transformed bodies. They differ from the Wargs in their physical and spiritual aspects. Wargs are malevolent creatures that have been transformed from wolves (but not given a humanoid form like werewolves) and have no will (without a soul).

What is your impression of the battle for middle earth games. Especially rise of the witch king where there is a werewolf ability you summon?

In The Fellowship of the Ring, when the Fellowship is trying to cross through the Misty Mountains and make their way to Moria, aren’t they attacked by Werewolves? In the story, the Fellowship fends them off in the middle of the night but in the morning when Legolas goes to retrieve his arrows, they’re described to be found lying on the ground and not in the bodies of the wolves. Although the story describes the creatures as wolves, Gandalf makes a statement saying that these wolves are different as none of their bodies were found. In my opinion, this seems to indicate that they were attacked by werewolves sent by Sauron instead of normal wolves and when they were killed by Legolas’s arrows, their bodies disappeared as the spirits within them were freed.
