The Lord Of the Rings: How it should have ended

[Rhugga II]

I always thought the perfect LotR movie would show "Later Events Concerning the Members of the Fellowship of the Ring" while credits rolled. Sort of a montage showing Samwise becoming Mayor, Merry Master, and Pippin Thain, and all of their many children, etc; Samwise goes to the Grey Havens when Rosie dies; Merry and Pippin leave and go to Eomer and his death and then to Gondor and theirs; the death of Elessar; Legolas and Gimli leave Middle Earth and fade.

But that would violate the cardinal rule of modern filmmaking: never do anything to hinder the making of a possible sequel.

Lol, no worries! It's what I do.

I, of course, agree with those of you who do not think that this "alternate ending" is plausible. It is rather amusing though, isn't it?

It also begs the question, do you think that there was any other way the Fellowship could have effectively undertaken the destruction of the ring? Do you think the mission would've been more/less successful with another ring bearer?
