Nope ^^ I'm sure there were other adaptions in those years that were better adaptions, and more true to the books. But they never meant to make an adaption, think I've said this before actually, but movies based on the books instead, which are two quite different things. The result is loved and obviously hated as well Can't blame them for doing what they wanted to do though

No, it's because including the Scouring would have destroyed the pacing of the film, and really wasn't necessary to include.

I really have to wonder why the filmmakers - who went out of their way to add these all-important character arcs/journeys for other characters - were so nonchalant about removing the end of the four Hobbits' collective journey.
