Had Aragorn not shown up with the Dead Men of Dunharrow when he did, it's likely the Rohirrim would have been wiped out. Ironically, it's not this act of stupidity that gets Théoden killed. It's the Witch-King that does him in.\\

Shooting the poor elephants at the eyes considered is animal cruelty and would invite protest from animal protection groups so they changed ''Shooting war elephants at the eyes thingy'' in the book to charge right to enemy ranks.

'''Instead''': He just lets him go and makes no attempt to stop him from escaping with the fact that Saruman has allied with Sauron. Less of a problem in the book, since we don't see Saruman using fireballs (and [[AllThereInTheManual some of Tolkien's notes]] give multiple versions of Gandalf's escape that agree on Saruman not being there at the time.



'''Instead''': Gandalf only gives a vague answer that he would only go there if he had no choice, and eventually has to let Frodo decide to go there when Saruman blocks the other paths. Furthermore, even in this instance, Gandalf refuses to warn them until said demon is basically on top of them.

To attempt to take the Ring, for any reason, within the crack of Mount Doom, would make the person trying fall under the Ring's power. If Elrond had attacked Isildur, the Ring would have taken him instantly, and they would have been screwed even worse with a mighty elven lord under the Ring's control.


* Right after that, Elrond and Isildur take the ring up to Mount Doom to destroy it, but it corrupts Isildur, who responds to Elrond yelling "DESTROY IT!" with a LittleNo, and decides to keep it.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[JustEatGilligan Elrond to stop Isildur]], lethally if necessary (though it would cause a war to happen between the Elves and the race of Men), and toss the ring in.\\
