iabervon's Journal: Amusing idea for LOTR movie (mild spoilers)

It would be really amusing if, after a while of being faithful to the world and to the story, and movies suddenly entirely diverged, while remaining faithful to the world.

The Company gets to Lothlorian as expected, Frodo offers the Ring to Galadriel... and she takes it and crushes Mordor.

Then the second movie involves the forces of good, including reformed orcs and trolls and the Brown Riders, fighting the dark elves of Loth Morgul and The Dark Lady.

Then the third movie involves getting the Ring, now recovered, through Mordor with just about everyone on the side of good from the previous movie trying to take it for themselves.

here's how it would end

Finally, the Lord of the Eagles gets fed up with bailing out the idiotic landwalkers every time they do something stupid, and settles it all by coming in with the whole flock, picking up everyone involved (current ring-bearer included), and dropping them in the Cracks of Doom.
