Different ending
Now what would of happened if Frodo and sam were killed and the Ring went back to Sauron. Would the elves, men and ents, well pretty much alll the good guys, would they have all died? And the world be covered in darkness??? Would the elves be safe in the undying lands if that happened??? thanks to ya'll.
If Frodo failed (which did not happen in the books so is quite crucial if that happened in the movie) then the Elves would just go on to Valinor, be safe there until they died out and everything would go into darkness and we would not be living today, for Middle-Earth is like a alternative history to Europe...basically. so...well...pray that DIDN'T happen. 🙂
Yes I guess they would, sauron is just a maia, and therefore not as powerful as his superior race, The Vala, I would think that if he recained the ring, he would eventurly have covered at least all iddle earth in darkness, but it would not have been easy, because of the ents, the western army(Gondor, Rohan) Tom Bombadil and such
the elves would have mooved a little faster to valianor, the men that didn't surrender and join Sauron, would have been killed or driven into hiding, The Mouth of Sauron would have taken over orthanc and destroyed the ents, and Saruman and Wormtongue would have been hunted doen in the shire and killed by Saurons forces. Once Middle Eath was under his controll, Sauron would have gathered all lost Allies hidden and scattered in the earth like the balrogs and what dragons may be left deep in any moutain or cave, and massed an army to launch an attack on Valianor, and retrieve his master Melkor from his bonds in the abyss!!!
then some sort of 'booze-up' would have been in order i suppose.

maybe we would be ugly orcs instead of men 😛 😛
well first....fires would sweep the plains..the sky would blacken the very core of middle earth would seem to tremble.....the firey inscription on the ring would shine clear...evry heart would be filled with dismay and fear and evil would stalk the lands openly and unchallenged
elves would leave..men would turn or be destroyed....dwarves wouls lock themselves away in their halls of stone and great mountain homes...but that would not hold the darkness for long...all would fade the black magician would rule all
or if REALLY loyal would help morgoth return...morgoth would kill the sun..fionwe would try and kill morgoth but sauron and morgoth would kill fionwe (maia CAN pose a threat to valar...ungoliant did with melkor)
then morgoth would rule and sauron would become a servant again
OR if sauron was clever he would let morgoth stay where he was and rule the world
only disadvantages
sauron: HELLO MASTER I HAVE RETRIEVED YOU FROM THE HELL YOU ENDURED
morgoth: WHY THE HELL WERENT YOU AT THE WAR OF WRATH YOU LITTLE **** 😠 *kill*
also if sauron got the ring back...men and elves COULD still win 😄 he had the ring before...that didnt stop the last alliance did it...of course people were alot stronger then...
Gandalf and the Elves are very clear on no-one being able to stop Sauron- even if he DIDN'T have the Ring. If he had it you are just on a completely different scale.
If Sauron had won, most of the Elves would not have made it west. One objection to casting the Ring into the sea, at the Council of Elrond, is very simply that the journey to the coast was already too perilous.
