bee'cuz LotR is pretty much basic fantasy shit
ponies already live in a fantasy world with cooler fantasy shit and magic in it
same reason why elderscrolls isnt a massive crossover thing with poni too

M-my job...

Mlp autists are more kin of fiction like videogames or shorter format entertainment, while LOTR autists are more kin of dungeons n' dragons kind of fiction. MLP autists are also very sexual, and LOTR autists probably aren't. Basically, LOTR are high IQ autists, and MLP autists are normal autistis.

I think mainly just that there's not much you could do with it crossover-wise. Crossovers tend to thrive on absurdity and/or chaos that ensues from bringing characters from radically different worlds together. With Middle Earth and Equestria, they're both basically fantasy settings with high ideals and magic, so the characters from either world could adapt to either setting pretty easily. I could easily see ponies and hobbits hanging out together and it being comfy, but there's not really enough there to make a story out of. I could see the M6 teaming up with Gandalf and Legolas and whoever to fight a balrog, but it wouldn't be fundamentally all that different from them fighting Tirek or Sombra or some other monster from Equestria.

I'm not saying you couldn't make it work, there's just not a ton of room for conflict or chemistry.

checked numbers for the milkmare

The only franchise that is really popular is Fallout and probably because New Vegas came in the same month as MLP

This artist drew a really good fel-beast.

It's just a rich English gentleman seething about industry.

Because unfortunately, many anons, and a lot of artists won't watch anything but cartoons targeted to babies/young children. (Throwing stones in glass houses, I know.)

Doesn't explain Star Trek and Doctor Who crossovers

>>43163332
he makes a good point. It's more fun to just negate the magic and throw them into sci fi then to have to reconcile the details of the different magical realms when the magical aspects are so pronounced and distinct.

That's more of a recent phenomenon in the fandom.
Anons from the 2010's had much more varied inspirations because they were mostly millennials raised in the 90's, so the games they played and shows they watched, both from when they were kids and back when FiM came out, were considerably different.

I always thought if I had an MLP fansite, I would have called it "Home of the Horse Lords."

Stuuupid fat ponieses...we hates them!!

I could fix Trixie Gollumoon

Early, very light lore and fanon of S1 and hiatus between S2 would had permitted that kind of crossover, but the profane direction that the writers took the world and setting kinda closed that window.

You explain them with >>43163332 argument
>Star Trek
Here characters travel through space and explore planets, therefore leaving Equestria.
>Doctor Who
That's due to a background character joke/headcanon, and in Doctor Who they don't travel through time and therefore to multiple locations?
LOTR only takes place in one world and it's already fantastical

Gollum Mare would sincerely cave your head in to obtain the ring.

Is that Deathwing?

>>43167568
I don't know. I was just looking for an MLP x WoW image to use as an example, as I do remember the game being quite popular in the early 2010's
