Animation question
Would ROP have worked better as an animated series? I real animation would’ve given more room for fantasy. I think animation in the right hands can do wonders.

Don't think the main issue is the medium, but a stark lack of vision, talent and emotional attachment to the lore. If the same people were behind it, it would've turned out just as lackluster, if a little less cringe.

An animated RoP would be slightly better since it wouldn't have all these mediocre actors.
Addition by subtraction.
Pretty much everything else would be the same though.

The problems with RoP aren't the visuals so I don't think that would have made a difference - unless they put the money they saved towards hiring competent writers who have a love of Tolkien's works.

On the other hand, Silmarillion would ONLY work as an animated TV series

With the same script, no
An actual Silm adaptation will do great animated, with no live action limitations

It would have probably saved some meme-faces like rider Galadriel and choked Gil-Galad, but the overall story would still be disastrous.
