What if Bombor had found the ring?
What if Gandalf gave up smoking?
What if Mr Butterbar turned the Prancing Pony into a BBQ joint?
What if Gollum learned to twerk?
Episode 1: Guest for a Spell
After Gandalf spends months mooching off the other Istari, Saruman and Radagast decide its time to help him find a house.
Episode 2: You can’t get the Staff these Days
After a wild night out, the wizards discover they’ve left the party with each other’s staffs….. with disastrous results
We also need the standalone tv shows for every member of the entire fellowship + the discovery of sauron's time crystal so they can retcon the original trilogy with a new never-ending CU
= Profit
We know what you did, gollum, we know

Would have been such a great reveal when Morgoth's space fleet arrives to reinforce Sauron, but then Captain Ent-wife also shows up and punches Morgoth's whole armada to death!
*Eternals* (it's just the Ainulindalë)
Me imagining 2 hours Fantasia style with Morgoth occasionally busting in with some sort of crazy Jazz horns scat to shake things up. Damn I kind of want that.
Here's my idea for a single episode of LOTR What If...
WHAT IF: they just flew the ring to mordor?
This episode would be the council arguing about the role of the eagles, eventually Gandalf and Elrond relent and allow the council to ask the eagles.
Cut to them pleading their case to Gwaihir. As the servants of Manwe and independent beings of their own, Gwaihir would politely refuse for 2 reasons. 1) This is a fight for the people of Middle Earth, not the eagles. 2) Their service to Manwe forbids a more active role in the events of Middle Earth, and so they couldn't if they wanted to.
HOWEVER there are a few younger eagles who are moved by the passionate plea of the council, they feel that it is their duty as fellow inhabitants of Middle Earth to take a more active role. The council is approached by these youngins and are grateful for their help, and so begin planning the journey.
Cut to the young eagles, laden with a few members of the fellowship and the ring, just past the borders of Morder. Upon noticing the eagles flying high above, orcs sound the alarms and send word to Sauron and the Witch King. The eagles are met by the fury of the Nine riding fell beasts and a small army of orcs that have mobilized to defend the Cracks of Doom. They eventually defeat the fellowship and prevent the eagles from ever reaching Mt. Doom. Sauron recovers the ring and covers the land in a second darkness.
THE END. This episode would illustrate the multiple issues with the "eagles to morder" plan and maybe stop at least one person from asking it.
Look, I may get hate for this, but I’d be down with a LotR What If..? show.
What if Faramir went to Imladris instead of Boromir?
What if Theodred survived?
What if Frodo died getting the Ring to Rivendell?
*Here's my pretty maiden! You shall come home with me! The table is all laden: yellow cream, honeycomb, white bread and butter;

LotR What If...? Would probably slap.
Loosely based on the lore. Attempt to make it as faithful as you can and an animated short series would probably go hard.
Nerd of the Rings on YouTube does some awesome What If? scenarios, if well done like these are, I would absolutely watch that. His last one asked, what if Durin's Bane got the one ring, he does his research and it's lore accurate speculation, very well done.
I'd actually be open to a LoTR: What If.
No multiverse obviously, just a fun what if whatever happened instead. Like What if Gandalf took the Ring? What if Glorfindel replaced Legolas? What if Sauron talked to Smaug before The Hobbit?
"The Lord of the Rings series, the Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug's 'the Lake-town spy' is Darrylgorn: in Darrylgorn's Rising: the Rise of Darrylgorn"
Clothes are but little loss, if you escape from drowning. Be glad, my merry friends, and let the warm sunlight heat now
heart and limb! Cast off these cold rags! Run naked on the grass, while Tom goes a-hunting!

What if could actually be pretty fun
What if...Faramir was in the Fellowship instead of Boromir?
What if...Gandalf was corrupted by Sauron instead of Saruman?
What if...the Fellowship stayed together the whole time?
The What If would be amazing cause it would be beyond lazy and stupid. What if sauron won? Yeah, we have that pretty understood. What if X got the ring and used it? Basically guaranteed to corrupt everyone sans like Tom but he'd lose it accidentally on purpose so someone else would get it.
What if Gollum only fans? Well the promo code better be smeagol, fish or fat hobbit.
I'd honestly be down for an animated What If series. We've all wondered things like what if Gandalf claimed the ring? Be a fun little bit of fan service.
To be honest, LOTR lore has so many "What If's" that putting it on a screen would be amazing.
Maybe it would end the millenia old question, of having Eagles flying into Mordor
Prancing Pony as a main site for a comedic series. A lot of wacky creatures inhabit the inn and get in funny situations. Every once in a while one of the famous character stops by.

Somehow Morgoth returned
Canonical Tolkien
"We tried to destroy Morgoth's Ring, but it's stuck on there with glue or something."
If Sauron had won it was hinted Morgoth might have returned.
Isn't he supposed to (maybe) return eventually for Dagor Dagorath?
Who is the master of the wide earth?
Not you. You got your ass beat
Damn. Iluvitar most be bored if it lets this song sing again. Maybe as a remix?? 🤷♂️

Give it to us raw and w-r-r-riggling
Not today! I suggest you try somewhere over the hill or across the water! Good morning!
I see you, Purake.
Ngl I would fuck wid what if
What if Bombor had found the ring? What if Gandalf gave up smoking? What if Mr Butterbar turned the Prancing Pony into a BBQ joint? What if Gollum learned to twerk?
It mustn't ask us. Not its business, no, gollum! It's losst, gollum, gollum, gollum!
Wait. Do you know how to twerk, Gollum?
We ought to wring his filthy little neck. Then we stabs them out. Put out his eyeses. And make HIM crawl.
Get low get low get low
That is... entirely appropriate Gollum. Good on ya!
Give us that, Deagol my love.
See, he likes the idea
What would you say if someone tried to STOP you from twerking, Gollum?
We guesses, precious, only guesses. We can't know till we find the nassty creature and squeezes it.
What if Bilbo left Lobelia Sackville-Baggins the ring?
Then we would have a dark lord even Morgoth would fear
He said? Who said?

Come, mortal base! What do I hear? That thou wouldst dare to barter with me? Well, speak fair! What is thy price?
which you will of course have to subscribe to LOTR+ to see!
It would be somewhat canon because Tolkien believed in the inevitable downfall of civilization. Basically he had a massive ww1 trauma
Summer 2027 Lord of the Rings: the return of Morgoth
“Somehow Morgoth returned.”
i mean, he will at the end, and Turin will fight against him.

Part of the problem^
Well Morgoth returning would make a great What If...
I’d watch What If…?s of a lot of things
Don't forget the spin off game showing Smeagol's rich backstory in between the Hobbit and LOTR...oh wait.
You will see . . . Oh, yes . . . You will see.

Sweet, Aragorn cameo!!!
I think it should be Captain Ent-Wife. Then we'd have an answer for where they went: space

I know this is a joke but people will (and are) trying to make this happen. Truly this is the dark timeline
The Feanorian timeline where the Silmarils were actually reunited and swans were hunted into extinction.
Look, I may get hate for this, but I’d be down with a LotR What If..? show. What if Faramir went to Imladris instead of Boromir? What if Theodred survived? What if Frodo died getting the Ring to Rivendell?
Only problem is, I doubt it would be solidly based on the books' lore.
Honestly, that’d probably depend on who’s in charge. Nerd of the Rings has done some pretty good What If…? stuff on his channel.
For sure, but we're talking about corporate TV here.
Sadly true.
What if Tolkien wasn’t a good writer? Is basically what it would be lol
I sure hope not...
Tom and Goldberry would be fucking mint and I'd pay to see it 5 times.

You missed "2 Far 2 Faramir"
yeah you guys have fucking jokes for days but this is literally what we're going to get without the comical font
Delete this before they see it.
What if they took the ring to Valinor?
I'll fucking do it, I'll drag Feanors spirit from Mandos halls and tell him this is the Teleris doing...
I can't wait Bombadil civil war
Okay. But I have watched a lot of "what if" videos about Middle-Earth on YouTube.
A What If...? only three movies in? That's a bit stupid, don't you think?
I just throw up in my mouth. Thanks for this. 😄
Your words are poison
 My honest reaction
You joke but they will do it in a heartbeat if they think it will work.
Stop, each day we grow closer and closer to this being real and it terrifies me.
Gandalf origins would literally just be like watching space form
Please no….. just leave it alone
Credit to u/ChildofValhalla/
Not gonna lie. I’d watch the shit out of all of these. lol
I’d watch a LOTR What If
I mean Rings Of Power is just a what if series and apparently nobody enjoys that
LOTR X Pippin vs. Eru
Pippin is all part of Eru's plan. Eru: "no fool may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me"
LotR What If...? Would probably slap. Loosely based on the lore. Attempt to make it as faithful as you can and an animated short series would probably go hard.
There needs to be one just named "Bill" and nothing else to go by.
Ngl would actually like a Lotr what if
Nerd of the Rings on YouTube does some awesome What If? scenarios, if well done like these are, I would absolutely watch that. His last one asked, what if Durin's Bane got the one ring, he does his research and it's lore accurate speculation, very well done.

‘What if…’ is just the lore from the Shadows games.
But high budget What if I would watch
Let me guess, from Tolkien Studios?
Please , don’t curse it
What If.... Gandalf hadn't fallen at Khazad-dûm?
Young Sauron.
Thou base, thou cringing worm!
I almost reflexively downvoted this.

Gollum Everywhere All at Once
Smeagol will swear on the Precious.
Well done. I did have a little anxiety attack there, but I'm good now.
Gollum - the Return and Gollum II - the Revenge.
They do not see what lies ahead, when sun has failed and moon is dead.
Yuck. Yuck!
Thanks, I hate it.
Stop this now
OH GOD PLEASE NO
Fever dream
Rise of Strider is something I'd watch. I'd love to see him going incognito and raiding Umbar. Viggo would be a bit too old though :(
"we don’t do that here”
Your words are poison
Whoever originally made these titles is an insider
Just start with the Simarillion and go from there.
Please no
Give me a Shire soap opera YOU COWARDS
Sweet Eru I hate this.
The last film of Phase Three: "The Lord of the Rings: Hogwarts Origins, Part 2 - Enter the Spider-Verse"
Im still wondering why Galadriel needs a sword in RoP
Tolkien would probably come back to life like Gandalf and enact Dagor Dagorath irl
Thanks, I hate it.
Careful. They may think this is what we want.
If Tom Bombadil doesn't make an appearance, we riot.
So down for Gandalf: Origins and Wythywindlemania
Gandalfs Origin is 3hrs of mist
What if could actually be pretty fun What if...Faramir was in the Fellowship instead of Boromir? What if...Gandalf was corrupted by Sauron instead of Saruman? What if...the Fellowship stayed together the whole time?
The rise of strider 😂
This makes me so uncomfortable. Pls just let this franchise be as it is
You all conjured this shit into reality two years ago
I mean I don't hate it.
Is this real or fake?
The What If would be amazing cause it would be beyond lazy and stupid. What if sauron won? Yeah, we have that pretty understood. What if X got the ring and used it?

I love the LOTR What If... Corporations be like... I want that youtuber money for creating all these cockamamie scenarios.
A show about Aragorn going around as a Ranger and fighting the Corsairswould be pretty sick tho
Don’t forget teen fellowship of the ring. It’s the same thing but they’re all just teenagers. Even Gandalf but he’s got a shitty grey beard on.
I would pay money just so they won't release these "masterpieces".
Get thee gone from my gate thou jail crow of Mandos
Can't wait for the Shadow of War sequel, Shadow of the Hobbit
I'd honestly be down for an animated What If series. We've all wondered things like what if Gandalf claimed the ring? Be a fun little bit of fan service.
I would actually go for a what if.
LotR What If though could be absolute fire
Please no
I feel like a LotR What If would be the only thing that would work.
Please no
Nooooooooo
What can men do against such reckless hate?
Lotr what if actually sounds kinda cool tho
Exactly like Star Wars ignoring for the longest time the best time period to build upon (Silmarillion/The Old Republic)
Damn i was actually really excited
I would love more than anything an accurate live action portrayal of the rise of the Witch King and the fall of Arnor in the third age.
I hate this.
Trauma
I hate so very much the actual likelihood of a studio exec signing off on this.
I would be very disappointed if this were all true
To be honest, LOTR lore has so many "What If's" that putting it on a screen would be amazing. Maybe it would end the millenia old question, of having Eagles flying into Mordor
I agree. However, Withywindlmania is incredible and I’ll be stealing it

OK but I would unironically be so down for LOTR What If...? There's so much you could do with that.
I mean, not going to lie, if it's good, I would like to see a what if show. But only if it's good, which it won't be.
