That was a wet joke. And I guess I made one as well.

Liked the Eiffel Tower in there to give perspective, & the car, Maybe Denethor should have driven off the edge "Thelma & Louise" style

I thought the writing would show up better when on fire, but I suppose you have to wait for the coals.

Battles of Hornburg and Minas Tirith recast in modern military jargon:

https://angrystaffofficer.com/2016/11/04/warfighter-middle-earth/
the second one is better: "Denethor, the leader of Gondor’s primary land forces, had been compromised by enemy counter-intelligence activities via the Palantir ... an intelligence system that he thought could help him view the battlefield. In fact, the Palantir had been hacked by Sauron..."

It's good, but hmm... that movie-centric view of the situation is difficult to swallow.

I felt it was more book centric than movie centric. Non of the film-only insertions were mentioned.

Re: Lord of the Rings Humour: Parodies, Satires and More [4]
I guess the main thing is that the author says that Denethor is useless and implies that the entire city would have been leaderless if not for Gandalf. This follows the movie very closely, with Denethor's "Flee, flee for your lives!" And struck me as an over-simplificiation.
I suppose the film stills didn't help either.
Faramir is attacked by the wingèd Nazgul, but on his return to Minas Tirith from Cair Andros, not from Osgiliath. And he is wounded later by a poisoned arrow when retreating from the Rammas Echor, not by some manner of "air sortie".

Don't know how I missed the Denethor thing, as that's a pet peeve of mine.
Subtle work on Faramir, but you are correct on all points.
