That fits with his character, he’s a master manipulator, it’s like the only thing the show did relatively well, just funny they never got rights to the silmarillion so they couldn’t use annatar
@zaalrottunda2804 the god of Tolkien's world, created the Maiar and Valar first. Then they sang the world into existence. Don't know how else to spell it out to you plainly. The music was the breaking of the silence. So he was born before the breaking of the first silence.
To be honest, his methods were indeed once of gifting fabolous gifts and knowledge! Eregion, Numenor fell because of his gifts and knowledge, sure, for a time they became powerful beyond their wildest dreams... Till it was too late to realize Sauron had deceived them all
Also only introducing 2 horses on the 3rd episode in a fantasy where they are the main mode of transport.. Elves just running swimming and straight up Skyrim fast travelling to locations before the 3rd episode 😂😂😂 fucking trash!

@@brinstarmedia1411 Wdym "even worse". He could act on his own desires when Morgoth was gone. His desires are actually OK and are even very good when compared to morgoth. Sauron wanted order and peace. What he didn't want is to destroy like what Morgoth wanted. Sauron wanted peace as well. He offers it to everybody even in LOTR. Take when the mouth of Sauron offers it to Aragorn. The difference is that in LOTR, the Elves and Men are more honourable and have greater potential than Sauron. In this show they don't.

This was probably the best and most accurate aspect of the show. Sauron was a cunning deceiver who appeared angelic to everyone he encountered during this time, it was a way of people trusting him.

Well, maybe it would Seem more natural if the elves weren’t portrayed as witless, narcissistic, assholes and the men of numenor as rednecks 😅 there is no nuance to the characters 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly, as Sauron when taken to Numenor as a prisoner, within a few weeks had the ear of the king and became his chief advisor all while plotting Numenor’s downfall. He was able to deceive the great Numenoreans to rebel against the Ban and fooled them into thinking they could wrest eternal life from the Ainur and thus bringing the wroth of Illuvitar down upon them. Eru (the one) drowned Numenor under the sea and so great was the seas wroth that Sauron himself, overreached his purpose and went down with them and forever loosing his ability to look beautiful. But as we know his Spirit arose like a dark cloud and after many years returned to Mordor and there he took up the power of the Ring again.
This show managed to completely trivialise some major players in the LOTR story. Completely trivialise them It turned sauron from cruel lord commanding thousands of monsters to handsome dude who was just misunderstood. Turned Galadriel from a Lady of a Noble house to some teen out to prove herself a soldier. This is teen fan fiction not Tolkien.
In the later parts of The Silmarillion, Sauron is written as having a “pleasing” form and did indeed pass himself off as a helpful advisor in order to gain the trust of (and later corrupt) men - until he realised the rings of power could to do the work for him. But to your point, the clips I’ve seen of the show paint a story closer to a soap opera. I don’t think there’s a problem with the actors, just the story.
How they managed to make Sauron the most likeable character in the show and Galadriel (of all characters) the most unlikable is genuinely beyond me…this show had me routing for him.
@@deusvult6164 I mean true, but Galadriel was supposed to be likable because she is the main character and she is of noble blood. Sauron should have deceptive looks, bro just looks like the OP version of Aragorn

Isn't that what a great villian does. He makes you enjoy his company, sparks feeling of cheating on your husband. But all with smile and promises of respect. As the book said, he was disguised as a gift giver and a friend, untill the deception was revealed.
Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away." Christopher Tolkien.

Just a note: right in that moment and this conversation, as an elf, Galadriel could be around 4000 years old. Such a huge society and world awareness experience during that time 💀
Probably the most badass answer to that question. But I feel like Sauron would not reveal himself here like this, he would either continue his lie or kill Galadriel. This show makes a lot of shit up
@@deusvult6164yeah, the Jackson trilogy gets a lot of praise, and they are great movies, but they do deviate so much from the books. Sauron had a physical form, he just couldn't leave Barad Dur. Also, he couldn't see Frodo whenever he put on the ring. The scenes where Frodo has these hallucinations of the eye when he puts the ring on are Jackson fiction.
@@garymac5571the eye was more there to remind audiences of saurons presence. In the deleted scenes, it does show sauron in his physical form when speaking to aragorn by palantir. The 2 assistant producers in commentary explain this, as they wanted to remind the audience of saurons power and presence. I feel tge flaming eye is just fine, however my gripe is Jackson's movies make it seem like sauron is literally the eye. Like he's a dormant eye rather than the original intention of tolkein that he's ever present and everywhere. I looove Jackson's movies, but they should have explained sauron a lot more, including gandalf. My parents watched the trilogy so many times and they had no idea gandalf is basically an angel and sauron is a shadow God, they thought sauron was literally just the strongest orc. And gandalf was an old man. They looked at me like I was crazy explaining everything, then they ended up watching tons of lore videos on UA-cam now they love the movies way more. At least the eye isn't completely fabricated and insulting like alot of this show does, so I don't mind it too much.
This this show was a train wreck according to lore this is kinda how Sauron acted he was incredibly cunning and manipulative. The best portrayed character in the whole show
I knew it was Sauron because he was the only straight white dude in the show…

Me : Yes
I warms my heart to know that anything concerning ROP has a massive dislike count.
Ya its only the hopeless nerds who hate the show though. Its actually pretty good.
@@ThatGuy-js6mu lmao no it wasn't 😂
@@ThatGuy-js6mu What? The show is horrible
@@Mephisto3111 nah its just the hopeless simps that think its going to be exactly like the books who hate it. If you treat it as its own thing its really good. Especially the actor that plays sauron.
This edit goes hard!!!
hope this series dont die cuz its better then the hobbits triology
Isn't that what a great villian does. He makes you enjoy his company, sparks feeling of cheating on your husband. But all with smile and promises of respect. As the book said, he was disguised as a gift giver and a friend, untill the deception was revealed.
Sauron is just a nice guy giving fabolous gift to all sort of folks
I prefer the story told in Shadow of Mordor with Celebrimbor.
Felt more like a true Sauron backstory.
Shame he isn't gonna be in Season 2, he was the only actor that stood out
He is in s2
@@khalildz1552 is he ? Well thank fuck for that
@@kriscraig453I’m pretty sure they switched him with an ethnic guy, not joking
Damn, did he just gave everything for the love and for this beautiful woman
The CW called, they want their writers back...
Dude CW writers are far more talented than these guys infact your comment is an insult to CW writers
WB writers are wayyy more talented and racially non biased then these smucks
This is an insult to CW writers
I've been awake since before the breaking of the first silence...
So, like 3am?
Unpopular opinion, i enjoyed this show. It actually got me into lotr before i read all the books and saw all the movie.
Straight up how the devil is portrayed in every movie
Look how they massacred my boy.
I love you cuz!!

Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away." Christopher Tolkien.
This edit is better than the entire series 💀
They got his character so right. He’s known as the great deceiver and he was exactly that.
Totally agree on this
Sounds familiar.
Its a shane he just dosent exist in canon
@@Mephisto3111 read the books. Watch the movies. Sauron exists in cannon bozo.
Woow😈😈😈
God, I always Love The Bad Guy!! My whole life.
Galadriel is a genius she waited to search halbrands true heretic until bring him to lotlorien.
They are in Eregion
@@TheDeviousBandit is that the only problem for you?
@@yabanc3719 no galadriel is also stupid af
@@TheDeviousBandit you know what’s ironically funny about them being in Eregion? Celebrimbor Pretty Boy built the city near the mountains due to the high supply of Mithril….. that he now has never heard of. 😉🙄🥴😂
She had a map of Mordor she was holding upside down most of the show 😂
Ah indeed SauRRRon
Im a huge lotr fan, and I get the hate for some of the changes- but they totally nailed Sauron in this
Damn Sauron is fine Af!
Just a note: right in that moment and this conversation, as an elf, Galadriel could be around 4000 years old.
Such a huge society and world awareness experience during that time 💀
Only person i like in "the rings of (girl)power.
I love this British actress she's is amazing. Watch her award winning performance and movie called St. Maud ❤
Probably the most badass answer to that question. But I feel like Sauron would not reveal himself here like this, he would either continue his lie or kill Galadriel. This show makes a lot of shit up
Bro turned from a god to a depressed eye in a few hundred years. Then gets obliterated by a random ass 2’ tall guy
never was an eye lol Sauron always had a physical form and never was the eye of Sauron
@@deusvult6164yeah, the Jackson trilogy gets a lot of praise, and they are great movies, but they do deviate so much from the books. Sauron had a physical form, he just couldn't leave Barad Dur. Also, he couldn't see Frodo whenever he put on the ring. The scenes where Frodo has these hallucinations of the eye when he puts the ring on are Jackson fiction.
@@garymac5571the eye was more there to remind audiences of saurons presence.
In the deleted scenes, it does show sauron in his physical form when speaking to aragorn by palantir.
The 2 assistant producers in commentary explain this, as they wanted to remind the audience of saurons power and presence.
I feel tge flaming eye is just fine, however my gripe is Jackson's movies make it seem like sauron is literally the eye. Like he's a dormant eye rather than the original intention of tolkein that he's ever present and everywhere.
I looove Jackson's movies, but they should have explained sauron a lot more, including gandalf. My parents watched the trilogy so many times and they had no idea gandalf is basically an angel and sauron is a shadow God, they thought sauron was literally just the strongest orc. And gandalf was an old man. They looked at me like I was crazy explaining everything, then they ended up watching tons of lore videos on UA-cam now they love the movies way more.
At least the eye isn't completely fabricated and insulting like alot of this show does, so I don't mind it too much.
@@garymac5571 the final battle has some deleted scenes where aragorn fights sauron but it looked so silly they removed it
Only a corporate tyrant like Amazon would make the viewership cheer for Galadriel's demise.
Vengo desde la Patagonia a decirle que esa serie es un insulto y buena para dormir. Saludos!
❤❤🎉⭐️😊
The best villan of all
Hope we get another season of this unlicensed series
sauron rizzed me up in this show..... and that's saying something as I am a straight dude.......He is just one likable guy......Well done Amazon??
Waiting for season 2 ...
You can say what you want about rings of power but sauron was really cool😮
This this show was a train wreck according to lore this is kinda how Sauron acted he was incredibly cunning and manipulative. The best portrayed character in the whole show
Bro dropped the hardest Sauron edit lol
Rings of Power… a dark era that will hopefully never come over us again.
Sauron was the OG gigachad
Is loyal to his boss Melkor
Is nice to everyone
Gets rejected by his crush
Wages war on the world
And now has thrush in his mouth from going down on Elves that he shouldn't be doing down on. They aren't from around here ya digg?
The actress that plays Galadriel is some beautiful
Sauron is hands down the best villain in fantasy
