New Lord of the Rings Movie Breaks a Cardinal Tolkien Rule (& Is the Closest Thing to His Cancelled Story)

Merry, Pippin, and Sam went through a lot of difficult experiences during the original story – though not as much as Frodo – and they all found happiness in the end. They were sad to see Frodo leave, but they returned to the Shire as heroes after a dangerous adventure. Sam even married Rosie Cotton, a woman he’d always loved, and they had a family. The new story seems to follow these hobbits as they revisit places from their past journey. However, the movie appears to be ignoring some of the established rules of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world.
