Sauron's "I see you" will always be iconic in all fantasy films
Why did nobody say hello to him ? has nobody any manners in Middle Earth ?!
@@behroozsalehi8571 I know, right? That's why he set out on a path to teach people some manners.
Where the other - behind the heroes- surviving orcs are goin? ANyone knowS? they are still alive and just runing. But to where?
@@bestpicture86 If your talking about the orcs after Sauron lost his physical body in the battle with Isildur, he still commanded them just not in physical form. In 3019 Third Age, Sauron was finally defeated, and the land opened up and swallowed his main army. The few orcs that survived it is stated in another of Tolkien's works (don't remember which one) that they kept breeding and living in the mountains, well into the future, until they became less and less and eventually just became the stuff of legend to the free peoples of middle earth.
@@EternaResplandiente NOO !! i mean while the SAURON EYE TOWER is collapsing some of orcs are falling down and some of them are running through the camera side. Where are they goin?
“There is no life in the Void. Only DEATH.”
What a fucking line
They got the perfect voice actor for him too. I didn't find the actor in the Hobbit to be as intimidating or terrifying as LotR's.
@@svikelt????
@ldorganics The voice actor for Sauron in LotR (Alan Howard) was a better pick than who they chose for the Hobbit (Benedict Cumberbatch)
@@svikelt Mmmm
@@svikeltCharlie vickers was the new one
One of the coolest dark lords in fiction by far.💯🔥🔥🔥
Morgoth: bruh
@@axxacraft969 hence why I said one of. Though Morgoth I feel has kinda faded into the background over the years. Sad but true.
And the fun fact is he's literally the butler of the actual big bad... Morgoth.
Meh, Sidious has bags more swag.
@@ezrazonable4992 respectfully disagree.
Aragorn tried to threaten Sauron with a sword so Sauron leaked Aragorn’s girlfriends address lmao, what a gamer!
Aragorn: “behold, the sword of earendil “
Sauron: “cool, here’s your dead wife “
He took that personal lmao xD
*elendil
It's the best way to deal with unwanted palantir calls.
"It's three o'clock in the morning and I need to sleep. Stop calling."
🤣🤣🤣
Why is it that after all the DC, Marvel, GoT, Witcher, Vikings, Harry Potter, Narnia, and whatever else they have created, I keep coming back to this epic trilogy?
because you hope for those films to be great, but in comparison they are not.
because you can go back to this one just like all the other ones? You're not making any sense.
@@Gadget-Walkmen lol he was just insinuating, that even with all the wonderful cinematic sagas we've been introduced to in these last many years, none of them compare to the magnificence of LotR
Tolkien truly poured his heart & soul into this fantasy realm, and thank the divines for Peter Jackson visualizing it so beautifully!
@@TheNumerosopher I don't agree that "none of them compare to the magnificence of lotr" at all but that's just me personally. They're all fantastic overall and it's preference which you you like the most.
@@Gadget-Walkmen well I may have been exaggerating a bit on that lmao, but nonetheless, LotR (for me atleast and I wager a great many others) is just such an absolutely amazing journey for the heart & mind
Sauron has many powers that are alluded to by Tolkien but are sort of left to the imagination. Hes a Maia like Gandalf, but Sauron was one of the greatest Maiar ever, far above Gandalf in rank and power. What we see in the films is but a small display of his power and evilness. Some of the things we know about him in the movies and books:
1. All of his senses including his intellect are beyond superhuman. We can assume he has near total knowledge of the world like most Maiar, but Sauron is in a league of his own in this regard. He’s known for his razor sharp perception of everything around him, he sees and hears nearly everything, and he knows nearly everything, certainly more than Gandalf, Saruman or anyone else. His ability to see everything, physical or not, is a giant power of his. Similar to how Gandalf can sense Frodo and Sam across the continent, and how he sees pieces of the future, but far more acute and with far greater range and depth. The whole idea of the floating idea was developed because of all that.
2. Powers of influence, corruption and persuasion. Maybe the cleverest and sneakiest bastard in Arda. Able to end the most powerful kingdom on the planet with this ability.
3. Shapeshifting. He turns into massive and powerful serpents, vampires, and beasts. Can also be used as a disguise.
4. Magic and sorcery. Able to create twisted beats, extremely powerful magical objects, grant immortal life, among countless other feats.
-biological warfare. He can create plagues that devastate middle earth, killing kings and all their children, half and more than half of the people of Rohan/Gondor.
-Despite his blunder in leaving mount doom unguarded, he only left it unguarded because he is certain that the ring is utterly irresistible to everyone, and he proved right about this. The ring is so powerful that there is no one can resist it forever, not even Galadriel.
5. His presence brings terror, the mere sight of him makes battle hardened elves run for the hills. Being around him is unendurable even to very powerful Maiar and powerful Elves. Characters such as these have been known to lose consciousness by speaking to him. Gandalf is exhausted by a very brief psychic confrontation with him. This fear factor is what also makes him extremely powerful.
6. Again, ultra smart . Able to singlehandedly bring down the most powerful kingdom on the planet in a few short years by earning their trust.
7. He’s a giant pussy and also doesn’t like to degrade his status by fighting, but he’s still the most physically powerful being in middle earth by a long shot, and still might be the most physically powerful among the Maiar. He is among the very top dogs of the Maiar ranks. Sauron went above and beyond to avoid physically fighting, but even during the war of the ring, when Sauron is in his weakest and most crippled state, Gandalf the White knows that he wouldn’t stand a chance against Sauron in a physical confrontation. This is Sauron WITHOUT the ring.
8. Miscellaneous - control over weather, the heat of his body kills people, able to grant nazgul immortal life, he is able to create the most powerful objects and physically impossible structures. Barad Dur is several miles wide at the base and a mile high. His ability to make cool shit can only be rivaled by Feanor and bested by Aule himself. Military might, armies large enough to best the combined hosts of elves and men. His voice has an effect on the physical world, like Saruman or Gandalf, only way stronger.
theres no such thing as ultra omniscient. sauron isnt omniscient either
@@voidpasklfd1 Technically you’re right. The point is that he’s closer to it than anyone else in middle earth at the time.
If I remember correctly he wasn't a God he was basically a super-powered angel that was corrupted by the original dark lord, his right hand man but I can be wrong
@@LiamDillen god is only multiversal in tolken
By the time of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings he lost his shapeshifting ability. The downfall of Númenor left him permanently in his evil form.
I really love the scene where Frodo puts on the ring and sees Sauron talk to him. That would break most people, mentally. Being transported into what seems to be a demon dimension, and watching the devil from Hell tell you he will kill you and everyone you love.
It's even more terrifying in the books. Frodo at Amon Hen never sees Sauron directly, but feels the Dark Lord's psychic will reaching out for him and is compelled to cry out to the Dark Lord until Gandalf's spirit intervenes. The instant he sets eyes on Barad-dur, he just spiritually crumbles from the sheer horror.
One of the greatest villains ever created. Right up there with Darth Vader.
Yet he was barely in it as a figure, goes to show how great and influential on every part of the entire story the character is.
Darth Vader you say.
Hmmmm.
Remember...
Luke I'm your father.... Well that means the Messiah is the son of Satan.
Food for thought no....
Damm Lucas always leaving clues.
Love you lots
@@robertswilliamson6130 Lol doubt Lucas would have that dumb an idea, if you affirm Him as Messiah then He is necessarily the Son and also obviously can't be the son of Satan and it just makes no sense to say so doubt he was going for that.
@@robertswilliamson6130 Darth Vader is the Messiah in the original stories though.
@@vergil8833 well then maybe we were taught an opposite story.
This the bad guys are the Light and the good guys are the darkness.
Hearing this statement from Darth Vader, the first time sent chills up my spine and I never forgot.
I never was a Star Wars fan but saw the first one.
Well then the Snake in the Garden of Eden is the good guy.... Hmmmm.
Another statement in Star Wars...
You must unlearn what you have learned....
Hahahaha there is NO SPOON.
The films did a truly great job capturing the menace of Sauron. "The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat’s, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing.”
9:27I love how it presents the Eye the howling winds shows how high up it is and the flaming eye is the stuff of nightmares
Huh, when Aragorn shows himself to Sauron, you can briefly see his physical body holding his flaming Palantír. I think this is the only time in the films you get any indication Sauron still has a body and isn’t just the eye. Pretty cool, as I always liked him having a body in the books
He has an energy body not a physical body
@@timesupea It's implied that he has a physical form
@@timesupea He got a body in both books and films but doesn't leave the tower of Barad Dur because he lacks the power without the ring and that makes him vulnerable.
One of my favorite characters of all time. I can watch this like 5,000 times and not get bored of it lmao >.
4:42 who can forget his iconic .gif attack
The best of Sauron's special moves is this one called "let me reach my hand with the only ring on it so close so you can cut it off"
that is some cinematic liberty
In the books he killed the High King of the Noldor by burning him with his hand, so that's what he was going for when he reached for Ilsiador.
@@connorhilchie2779 that or wanted to show the armies of the free people their broken king which would be a real moral killer. Like imagine seeing your king all broken begging for his life, grabbed by this 4 metres tall chad
If only lord Sauron was not proud as fuck, could actually succeed easily
It's too bad they didn't show the elven king with the spear fighting alongside the king
Sauron could change form to anything before his body was destroyed by Iluvatar ( god, literally) he could take the form of a were wold, vampire, etc. Only the ring allowed him to gain a physical body again, it’s why he was defeated when the ring was cuted from his hand ( in the movies only, in the book Sauron has a body even without the ring)
Also, the voice powers. The voice is one of the biggest weapon in LOTR. Sauron defeated Finrod Felagus (king’s elf) in a rap battle. Arda ( Earth ) was created with musics.
Even if he can mind control, his power is more powerful than just that, it’s a domination of soul. Exemple the Nazgul. Their souls are bound to their rings wich are bound bound to the One ring.
Sauron is a blacksmith. He can create magic stuff since he was originaly the Maia of Aulë (a god who created montains and others things on Arda. )
He hided the orc’s armies in Dol Guldur, Gandalf had to break the incantation to found them.
If we take the abilities we saw in the movies, well he can fly XD.
In Shadow of Mordor/War Sauron bounded the soul of Celebrimbor (the elf who forged the rings of power with Sauron) to Mordor.
And i think we can add the Nazgul’s abilities as well, it would be weird that his servant has powers that he doesn't have.
For me, his greatest feat is when took the guise of Tar-Annatar, Lord of Gifts and pretended to be a Vanyar emissary of the Valar.
Imagine, the greatest kingdom of Men, the Numenorians were corrupted by Sauron and even convinced them not only to go against the Valar but also worship the one and only Melkor. That's crazy. And that he taught Celembrimbor, the freaking grandson of Feanor, on jewel crafting/making. But that's not really surprising considering that before he joined Melkor's side, he was once a Maia servant of Aulë. But imagine the shock of Celembrimbor himself when he discovered another elf, aside from his father and grandfather, who have serious skills on jewel making.
I thought he was capable of forming a physical body, just not his fair form or shapeshifting powers after he lost the one ring. (Referring to the books, not the movies)
Incorrect. He didn't need the ring to mantain a physical form.
@@juanlaise1059 i know, i said only in the movies.
@@brentf6747 he already lost his 'elf' form after the downfall of Numenor
8:30 this scene of Barad-dûr and Sauron warping into view has got to be one of my favorites
I almost completely agree with you. This is a masterfully done scene, but I would say the scene with Saruman's VO as he discusses the union of the Two Towers might beat it for me. The inclusion of Christopher Lee's deep and menacing voice as the camera pans across Barad Dur brings chills every single time.
Either way, I adore how the fortress of the main antagonist is portrayed in both book and film. It is supposedly several miles in length and an entire mile in height. All dedicated to the wills of the Dark Lord. God I love this series.
Interesting and brilliant - when the tower falls Sauron's theme changes mid-tune into to a theme of hope and triumph, just as Eru Ilúvatar changed Morgoth's dark harmonies into notes of light
Forges a ring
Almost conquer all earth
Explodes
Doesnt elaborete further
Leaves
No, he doesn’t get close to conquering all earth, only middle earth.
Sauron also humiliated The Numenoreans by having Ar Pharazon invade Aman which forced Eru to destory Numenor.
@@oliveremmettknox7776 eru should have just took out sauron as well, surely knows who caused ar pharazon to do that but only punishes ar pharazon and his people.
>Comes back in 2,947 years like nothing happened
@@denizkenger52 There can be no good without evil to challenge it
Man that earthquake really picked favorites.
Thank you, Ilúvatar!
It does not exactly provide Sauron with the power to take a physical form. He can already do that and change forms as well, before Numenor was destroyed at least. The Ring does have the power to change the way the bearer is seen though. When Sam had the Ring for 2 days the orcs saw him as a mighty warrior, and when Frodo claimed the Ring in Mount Doom he appeared to Sam as huge with flowing white robes. It HELPS Sauron appear huge and powerful and horrifying.
8:15
if you take a second to listen, you can hear what seems to almost be Sauron's breathing. It's a little unnerving. I've enjoyed these movies for all these years and only recently noticed this.
Dude that’s crazy my pops and I were just talkin about Sauron!!
That is interesting. Lol
Wish I could do that with my dad lmao.
He be like,
“I was there, Swagg, 3 thousand years ago...”
@@humanity600 aw man lmao
Is your Dad Elrond? lol
now imagine that this dude was actually halbrand back then lmao!
he can take whatever appearance he wants, in order to deceive or manipulate
Reminds me of how strong Galadriel was. The movies did her well. So humble, wise, likable and OP. Wished there was a movie that showed her properly (not rings of boredom).
Yeah I don't like how she is in the series. She doesn't need to be physically strong and be able combat in front lines to be a great, noble and memorable character
Yet it's absolutely impossible she could ever challenge Sauron. She's an elf and he's one of the greatest maiars, far more than gandalf and all the other wizards.
@@Betux2407 True, but in this specific encounter Sauron was incredibly weakened, and she was holding the Phial of Galadrial, which had the light of Varda in it, the one Sauron and Melkor feared the most.
@@jameshoffman8601 The Phial explicitly fails in in Sammath Naur, without Sauron's direct intervention, just from the remnant of Sauron's presence there. Galadriel is mighty, but it required Sauron's final defeat before she could destroy Dol Guldur.
@@Betux2407 why not? challenging, not winning. Her uncle, Fingolfin had a good fight with Sauron's boss, Melkor and gave him a long-lasting injury. Tolkien himself wrote in notes that Sauron might fear Galadriel.
Lol 11:15 when aragon gets the uno reverse threat. What was he thinking.
Either Arwen was dead or feared what Sauron was going to do to her
Sauron was by far the most actual threatening feeling of a Dark Lord without an actual physical form, would have loved to see he himself fight in the final battle at the black gate.
He had a physical form, but weaker. Hence why he never leaves Barad-Dur
@@senorbolainas2991 I was talking about a deleted scene
In it Sauron was supposed to show up and fight in the actual battle
@@ViktorMikhail would it have been cool? Sure but it would've completely ruined the story. The whole point of destroying the ring was that if Sauron got it back he would no longer be weak and he could leave Barad Dur and lead his armies and be basically unstoppable. There's no reason he would leave Barad Dur and risk getting killed again without the ring, because his capabilities as a maiar would degenerate even further. Each time Sauron's physical body dies he becomes more bound to an even weaker form if he can even create a new one himself by that point.
@@nepnep1453 yeah I know that’s why I said it would have been cool
Sauron actually have a physical body but never leaves his tower of barad dur (in the book tho, idk about the movies)
Can relate
Ironically people disliked Sauron's increased magic use in the Hobbit, but it's far more in line with his book version than the Lord of the Rings. In LOTR we see his extrasensory perception, but when he HAS THE RING all we see him do is use it to slightly buff his mace swings. In reality, the reason he with the ring was such a threat was that it made him nearly a god. He could've wiped the army out with a thought. The reason he loses the ring is not because it was merely a stats buff, but because he is so superhumanly arrogant that he assumed Isildor would not be able to muster the courage to swing his broken sword a second time. It's something that doesn't change about him. He loses the war of the ring because he believes with absolute 100% certainty that no one would ever try to destroy it.
So his greatest asset is his greatest weakness (the ring)
Nice
yeah that it is because he wants to dominate, if he aligned his will with Eru illuvatar it would have worked better
One of the things that initially bugged me about this franchise was that the powers of these magical characters in this series is featured far less than it is in the books, even if the films still have there own merit despite this. For example, Gandalf is shown performing major feats like summoning lightning whilst fighting the Balrog, but doesn’t use similar capabilities in other fights, while he more frequently uses things like light (something he uses as a harmless deterrent against Nazgûl mounts in the films, but little else offensively), fire and lightning in battle. If the Hobbit films did anything right, it was portraying Sauron, for example, as a direct threat with or without a body, more than just a menacing voice, but a presence with genuine power still clinging to life. And the way his appearance evolves into a living shadow/cloud, to a glowing figure resembling his armored body, to his signature flaming eye was quite a nice touch.
Thats because Gandalf is something like an angel in our world. Sauron was something similar but stronger. Wizards were send to middle earth to guide people and elves, not to fight. Rhats why gandalf rarely use his powers. Same for other wizards
His most powerful use of magic was in Fellowship of the Ring, when he forbade Durin’s Bane (the balrog) from crossing the bridge. His use of magic didn’t merely break the bridge, he altered the laws of the universe, making it impossible for Durin’s Bane to cross that point. The immediate effect was the bridge collapsing, but it was like rewriting the laws of nature - Durin’s Bane was incapable of passing.
Also worth pointing out that Durin’s Bane is a Maia as well, like Sauron. Gandalf (Olórin) fought him as an Istari, a weakened version of a Maia who was susceptible to physical death and without all of his Maia abilities. The fact that Gandalf killed the balrog in his frail, old man’s body, shows incredible magical power. Durin’s Bane was incredibly powerful Maia, and not weakened. Not a servant of Sauron’s, nor would it have been, being a Maia itself and creation of Melkor/Morgoth.
Their battle stretched from the the subterranean lake, up the Endless Stair, and ended on Zirakzigil. Being in mortal form and doing enduring the fall, physical contact with fiery balrog (then it’s slimy form in a lake), followed by days of combat against a corrupted Maia atop a frozen mountain is incredible. Granted, Gandalf died and had to be brought back, but I believe Tolkien mentioned that no other being could have slayed Durin’s Bane at that point in the Third Age. I can’t cite a source for that last point - just seem to remember hearing it, so could very well be wrong. Even if that’s incorrect, Gandalf would have been one of maybe a few that could kill it on Middle Earth.
Aragorn: "Hey Sauron, I have the big sword that killed you reforged, and I'm gonna shove you with it."
Sauron: "Oh? You wanna play do you? I'm killing your elf girlfriend as we speak, which I thought you should know."
Aragorn: "Oh my god."
Lmao I love how just the soundtrack of LOTR alone is a masterpiece, and the movies are mindblowingly good, and then u come to book, which blows ur mind on whole different scale
0:17 SCARY ARMOR!!!
Absolutely
No, epic badass.
Ypu have forgotten the Saurons unquestionable ability of dropping the most *Epic Drip*
Sauron is the only Maiar that kept his original name in all things. He was made Sauron, he fell as Sauron. His many forms he could shift into throughout the ages may have had specific names, but they were always just titles to him, and to him he has always been Sauron. It is in my opinion, that nothing frames Sauron as a character and personality better than his firmly held and maintained identity - whether he was good or evil at the time never really mattered to his identity.
His original name is Mairon lol
Not entirely.
He was Mairon (Admirable) first, when he served Aule.
During the War of Jewels he was mostly known as Gorthaur (Terrifying Abomination) and Sauron (Abhorred) to his enemies.
During the Second Age he used Annatar (Lord of Gifts) when aiding elves to create the Rings of Power, as well as Artano (Great Smith) and Aulendil (Servant of Aule).
Tar-Mairon (Admirable Lord) seems to be his favourite before surrendering to Numenor, after Numenor's destruction, as he lost ability to shapeshift into handsome appearances, he seems to gave up about names and allowed his human followers to call him Sauron (the Mouth called him Sauron the Great) but orcs were not allowed to refer him so.
Don’t forget Zigûr (“wizard”), one of his well-known names to the Númenoreans when he became chief advisor to Ar-Pharazôn. Turned out to be a bummer for them. lol.
@@mgeldarion58
Btw 'Gorthaur' means "the terrible dread" not abomination
The power at 11:07 is trolling powers skill set 100
If Sauron was any smarter he would've swallowed the ring. Would've been unstoppable then.
it only works if the ring is on a finger. i would put it one the 11th finger if you catch my drift, so it doesnt get cut off again lol

Sauron is one of my favorite villains from a fantasy film franchise. How tough would anyone from Narnia fare against Sauron; in addition, Marvel, DC, Star, Transformers, other fantasy heroes (from a movie/show rated PG 13/TV 14 or below), and/or giant (organic/inorganic) heroes as well. Marvel took this villain's name to use for one of their villains in Marvel comic books. What would the comparison of his be to other rings from other movies or shows?
Which marvel villain is called Sauron?
@@denizkenger52 Sauron
@@apollohd6368 haha I didn’t mean it like that lmao
@@denizkenger52 i just needed to comment something so i too could get the marvel character named after Sauron
@@denizkenger52 Sauron. It's a pteradactyl dude. Honestly used his name for the wrong type of character...
Not sure I agree with the little text boxes that keep appearing: the One Ring did not give Sauron a body; it's the other way around. Sauron poured his own being and power into the rings so he could control them with the one ring - which he poured the most of his being into. He had been destroyed before in physical form, such as in the destruction of Numenor. This is why he sort of disintegrated when the ring was cut from his hand: it took all of his physical being to make the infernal thing.
The Ainur consists of an energy/"mana", that has a name I can't remember right now. They can invest some of it to "create", either a Ring of Power, a creature, to cast spells, or gain physical form. But the Ainur can't really create without the Secret Fire of Erú, they can only redistribute what's already there.
How cool are Sauron's gloves. 0:33
Man i want those so badd
Great watermark you got there, really important figure …smart
I love the look of the Palantir when you place a call to Sauron. You get a little swirling display of fire and then BOOM here's my eye dude what the hell do you want?
7:37 it s not an illusion it s actually the future, tho it wasn t in the movies in any form(except that),it s probably about the scouring of the Shire, which is only present in the book
9:22 might be the coldest part of any of the movies it just sends shivers down your spine
Sauron is one of the best Dark Lords in fantasy world. You need proof? Just say "what if Sauron gets the ring?" and think about the consequences :)))
Morgoth and Sauron are the archetypical End Bosses of our time
Well he did have the ring before and then he got his ass beat and lost the ring. It wasn’t like in the movies, he was defeated in combat by gil galad and elendil first and then Isildur took the ring afterwards.
@@denizkenger52 Thats because the further back in the ages you go the greater the forces of good become. It's part of Tolkiens nostalgic philosophy. Everyones so much more down to earth in the 3rd age.
@@vergil8833 oh yes there definitely is more greater forces further back but I mean, if Sauron did indeed get the ring, he would always be at the mercy of the Valar. If they decide to one day come down to middle earth and take him out, there's not much he can do about it. Just imagine only Tulkas coming down, he would probably wipe out most, if not all of Sauron's army and best martially competent forces. Imagine all 14 coming down, there'd be no chance at all. So my main point was to mark that the real dark lord of this verse is Morgoth. Sauron is definitely a dark lord but I wouldnt put him as the dark lord because there are even lesser powered characters that would beat him, not just the valar. He got beaten by Elendil and Gil Galad, and ik these are arguably the best of their kind, maybe not for Gil Galad's case tbh, but still a man and elf beating a maiar is rather embarrassing for the maiar.
Id say Morgoth is one of the best dark lords in fantasy and I wouldnt put Sauron up there because he is only really a danger in the third age, as you mentioned, because there are less powerful people left in Middle Earth. He's kinda like any apex predator that became apex predator after dinosaurs died, he wouldnt have stood a chance then, but he does now because they have gone.
@@denizkenger52 Agreed. It's tough to conceptualize. I, like a majority who watched the movies, knew none of this for long after. Not until I decided to delve into the lore did I learn. So fascinating and yet also parts that are hard for me to completely come to terms with.
Yeah Sauron was defeated by a man and a elf. As you said the best of them granted but they beat him without some insane stroke of luck, divine intervention, or a mistake on Saurons part. They apparently just bested him in a fair fight. Well as "fair" as a elf and man teaming up to duel a fallen angel in a humanoid form 2 on 1 can be I suppose. How do they win? How did they even harm him sufficiently? They didn't have powerful magic weapons. He is so powerful yet beaten just like that. How did the balrog and Gandalf even survive the fall in Moria to continue fighting then? If the big bad himself can be slain by conventional weapons.
I've also always struggled to rationalize Sauron knowing full well he stood no chance against the Valar much less Eru himself. Best answer I got was "well he has been good at eluding them all this time". Not sufficient.
And your example big bad Morgoth has the same issues, only a matter of scale. He was caught twice by the Valar. Not only that but he was injured 7 times in a duel with an elf!!! He walked with a limp forever after. A god. The most powerful being only under literal God Eru. Even though he was weakened by pouring much of his power into the world and his evil creatures ... He almost got defeated... By an elf ... With a sword and shield.... Who Morgoth was really only able to defeat bc the guy fell into the literal pits his massive blows were creating in the earth. Tough to fathom.
Yeah everybody's bad ass with their little rings until they come across something about five times their size named Morgoth.
Souron would be a mainstream media mogul nowadays.
I can't believe Sauron is masquerading around as Halbrand. Unreal.
imagine how powerfull was his master, Morgoth the dark one
Although we saw the power of One Ring in Lotr, apart from corrupting minds and became invisible, the ring's other powers are not shown as projected by Gandalf, Tolkien etc. I haven't read books only see 3 movies. Gandalf and Elves sees Ring as a weapon to destroy Sauron's existence but Ring's other powers were not shown in 3 movies. Yes Ring became easy way to defeat Sauron rather than facing him in that battle where death is certain for elves and Gandalf
That's because the Ring was forged by Sauron, and he put a tonn of his powers in it, so Sauron is the only one who can truly control. And even if someone would be powerful enough to actually use the Ring to defeat Sauron, he would simply take his place, and in the end, the Ring would still find it's way back to it's master.
11:32 he falls weird😂
I still want to see Melkor in all his might then his diminished form of Morgoth on the big screen
You would think sauron would surgically implant the ring onto him
Does it ha ve to be on his hand? couldnt it be inside his head where his helmet is?
@@dewuster8885 me neither
Could wear the ring as a cock ring... That way nobody can pierce his armor legging
@@saifuldude that would only motivate specialist attack squads : THE COCKCHOPPERS OF GONDOR
I do not want to fight a Cockchopper of Gondor, even if I win I still might lose something important.
One eye to see them all
Adding to my previous comments, Aragorn is the embodiment of what truly men lack these days and the real what they call, giga Chad or alpha male. No sacrifice too great yet, stil the character's rose from various adversities is to embody the never giving up attitude and always be humble lesson.
1:56 the necromancer has come
Necromancer: I'm batman
Sauron and Darth Vader do not have a lot of film time - and still somehow managed to become two of the most iconic evil characters in the cinema
That's because they are well written, especially vader
@@LSSD1292And also both of them are actually henchmen to the more evil and dangerous beings (Sauron to Melkor/Morgoth and Vader to Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious).
Sauron Best moment "most badass moments"
Everyone says the Two Towers is the best movie of the trilogy, but I’d say the Fellowship is the best. It’s by far the most down to earth movie, way less huge battles and giant movements. Stories always start with smaller battles and fights before increasing, and I think that’s when they really shine. We aren’t panning across a cgi/ real army of ten thousand orcs attacking a giant multi leveled white city, instead it’s just 5 incredibly scary and detailed Nazgûl vs four very scared hobbits. You can see all the great emotions and acting when it isn’t some grand final battle. Say what you want but weathertop may be the best sequence in the trilogy besides helms deep
I wish whe have see more of Sauron and his Power
Telekinesis( Pushed Gandalf and a rock building down , crushed stone walls ) , Telepath( to Frodo even when F didn't wear ring , Pipin ,And Aragon ) , Teleport (From Mordor to Dol Guldur, and teleport among Dol Guldur just in front of Azog ) , Healing (Cured Nazugul) , Necromancy(Summon Wariths and Nazuguls), Summoning(summon wolves) , Dark magic ( Also call “ Dark Manipulation ” , generating Darkness and projecting it smashed Gandalf's shield ), Resurrect (Such like witch king ) , Relive , Immortal , Incorporal , Shapealter , Blacksmith&Craft , Weapon master , Tactic master , Tricker master, Spoken Master ......
what a fantastic movie that was!!! Peter Jackson and his crew are just incredibly talented people!!!
Say what you want about the Hobbit trilogy but that scene of Galadriel banishing Sauron was amazing.
the only problem was the CGI. it looked horrible
The dark lord sauron is the eater of light and life he will always return as long as there is a shadow in the world
I mean he really won’t, he’s in the Halls of Mandos now and I don’t believe the Valar would be too keen on letting him out. Maybe when Morgoth escapes at the end of the world he’ll be able to build Sauron a new body or something?
its funny how Sauron was more threatening in the hobbit then the real war of the rings aka lord of the rings films . he was just a eye in the og films 🤣🤣
it appears he can manifest physically near the place hes taken up residence, but he can't just walk around the world. He has to stay near the place he's haunting like a spirit. If they'd gone to his tower he would probably have been there as a figure too
Excellent work on this video and can you make other characters on habbit plz 🤗🤗🤗
First view and like
The strength and will to govern each race.
For being all powerful, he sure was taken out quickly.
Both the elves and Sauron lost much of their powers when the Valar removed magic from middle-earth - Thats why they needed the rings.
The next time you'll feel stupid, just keep in mind that Sauron wore his physical entity on his index finger.
Sauron didn't stop existing after the One Ring was destroyed. Instead he turned into some kind of weak spiritual creature that could never regain form nor power.
Forgot to mention that it makes him look super cool
One of the best dark lords in fiction
Ther best Dark Lord version ever! the most terrified and crazy!
No matter how many suns and stars appear in this universe or in the cluster... the darkness which is emanating everywhere in this space is indestructible...
Did anyone else notice the Sigil of Lucifer on the floor? 6:32
That is not a pentagram.
@@LordSiravant whenever I write something in the comments section please look it up before writing. A pentagram is a star within a circle and a inverted-pentagram is a upside down star in a circle, they should have five points. What is on the floor, what looks like it anyway is the Sigil of Lucifer it looks like a chalice.
Sauron is one tough big big
to destroy spoiler's because
of Sauron one ring is hard to
because like Harry Potter's Voldemort the ring is Sauron's
only anchor to the physical
world without it Sauron finally
be destroyed
thank you it as answer some of the question i had
thank you it as answer some of the question i had
@@bernardcote1981 what question did i answer
I didn’t get the Harry Potter one, how did that relate?
@@denizkenger52 because in the Harry Potter universe Voldemort has several magical anchor's that allows him to resurrect if you need to be so Sauron his own magical anchor the one ring
This channel is underrated
This Dynasty Warriors movie looks crazy! 1:05
It’s Lu Bu!!!
3:08 Sauron's this kind invisible in the last (and I think the only) scene he appears in the novels, a giant cloudy shadow that rises from the ruins of Barad Dur, stretching his hand towards the armies at the Black Gates, until wind flows from West and dissipates him for good.
Bro! That Nazgûl theme is super nerve racking.
Galadriel was able to defeat Sauron with the Phial because it was made from the Essence of a Silmaril. The most powerful artifact of the 1st Age.
Poor sauron. He just wanted to love her.
'Saurons rings is destoryed, but Morgoths ring is endures and Arda itself is his ring in which his vast power poured into it to corrupt and thats how middle earth is plague with evil, malicious creatures, and darkness that unnatural to the world.
All he dose is tell Frodo “I see u” 😅
sauron's biblical equivalent is azazel, the fallen angel that tought humans weapon making, and jewelcrafting.
I always wondered from whom Sauron was inspired from Bible (his master Melkor (aka Morgoth) was inspired by Lucifer (aka Satan), which is true).
" There is no life in the void, only death"
His defeat was like: *Well better being a ghost rather than trying to cause a domination!* and then he just explodes and Barad-Dur is gone 💀
You cannot hide, there is no life in the void…. Only death
There is no life in the void only death
I love the 3 age lord of the rings,hobbit,and lord of the rings rings of power 2 age.Can’t wait to see morgothin action in the 1 age in some 20 years
Bro really couldnt stop trolling with those illusions 😂
thanks jamal
Oh sh*t now I wan't to rewatch the movies for the 100th time
*I SEE YOU.*
🔥👁🔥
If sauron is this strong, imagine the might of Morgoth
Sauron in time would of over taken forgotten.
This is a wild fantheory of mine, but I feel the ring was a way of bringing morgoth back from the void.
Love the idea of sauron overtaking middle earth, and somehow corrupting morgoth himself as he does.
I'm high
What I think is some cool symbolism is that the One Ring is circular.
It is a cycle that represents his beginning and his end.
Only when it is destroyed, does the cycle break.
He and the ring are heavily intertwined with each other.
The definition of Dark Lord
Ngl Sauron in Hobbit movies are pretty scary for me
