| Aug 5, 2019 at 12:54 | comment | added | Luaan | @V2Blast They show more about the return journey and how they integrate back in the Shire, but not the Scouring - after all, both Saruman and Grima are dead by that point (spoilers!). | |

| Aug 5, 2019 at 3:18 | comment | added | V2Blast | Sure, I don't disagree. Just figured it was relevant to mention :) | |
| Aug 5, 2019 at 3:04 | comment | added | Arcanist Lupus | @V2Blast, possibly (I haven't seen it), but the Extended Editions are meant for a different audience than the big screen movies. More invested fans, who are more likely to see the three movies as a single entity (ie more like the novels) rather than as three separate films. Between that and the promise the Extended Editions make to include everything (or at least as much as possible), it fits better there than in the big screen Return of the King. | |
