There was so much depth but it wasn't just building a fantastical world just to build a fantastical world. Everything added to the world and shaped the characters in different ways. Like once I read the Silmarillion then went back to watch the extended cut movies, I realized why Elrond had such disdain for Numenor. Tolkien has accomplished something I don't think any other writer will for a good long while and I'm sad he didn't get the chance to do more before he passed away.
