What If Frodo Never Destroyed the Ring? The Hidden Secrets of Middle-Earth

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Frodo has the hardest task in the world: destroy the evil One Ring in the fiery Mount Doom to save Middle-Earth. But what if Frodo couldn’t do it? What if the Ring had corrupted him before he could throw it in? Fans have theorized that without Frodo, someone else like Aragorn or Gandalf might have taken the Ring, but could they have resisted its power?

One mystery that still puzzles fans is why Gollum, who once owned the Ring, suddenly becomes both friend and enemy to Frodo. What made him so obsessed with it, and could anyone have saved him from his obsession?

A key moment in the movie is when Aragorn leads the army into battle at the Black Gate. It’s a moment of bravery, and the fate of Middle-Earth hangs in the balance. What if the army had lost? Would Sauron’s darkness have spread even further?

Imagine a prequel exploring the rise of Sauron and the creation of the Rings. Or an alternate ending where Frodo returns home with the Ring, only to see a world corrupted by its power.

The story ends with hope and peace, but it’s the what-ifs that make The Lord of the Rings unforgettable.
